Planner's guide

PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT

Best For: Corporate functions and business events, Private celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries), Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, Community gatherings and social events

What planners usually like:

  • Extended operating hours (8:30 AM–10:00 PM daily) accommodate events across various time slots without additional rush fees
  • Melbourne-based location with established service area reduces logistics complications and allows for direct vendor communication
  • Flexibility to discuss customized quotes means catering can be tailored to specific budget ranges and dietary requirements
  • Seven-day availability eliminates scheduling conflicts common with vendors operating limited weekly hours

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request detailed menu options and any dietary accommodation capabilities (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen-friendly) to ensure guest needs are met
  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales proportionally for smaller or larger events
  • Ask about service delivery, setup, and staffing inclusions—whether staff remain on-site throughout the event or if drop-off service applies
  • Understand cancellation policies and deposit requirements, especially for weekend events which typically book further in advance

Common questions

What information should I provide when requesting a catering quote from Big Flavours?

Have ready your expected guest count, event date, preferred service style (buffet, plated, cocktail-style), any dietary restrictions, and venue location. These details help the catering team provide an accurate quote quickly. Contact them at +61 3 9996 1655 or through their website to initiate the conversation.

Are there additional costs beyond the per-person catering rate?

Yes—typical additional costs include service staff, equipment rental (tables, linens, serving utensils), delivery fees based on venue distance, and gratuity. Always ask for an itemized quote that separates food costs from services so there are no surprises during final invoicing.

How far in advance should I book catering for a weekend event in Melbourne?

Most Melbourne catering vendors recommend booking 2-4 weeks ahead for weekend events, particularly if your guest count exceeds 50 people or requires specialized menu requests. Since Big Flavours operates daily, they may accommodate shorter notice, but confirming availability early protects your event timeline.

Can Big Flavours accommodate specific cuisine preferences or themed menus?

This depends on their kitchen capabilities and menu offerings. Contact them directly to discuss your preferred cuisine style—whether Mediterranean, Asian fusion, contemporary Australian, or other cuisines. Their website should display available menus, but custom menu development is often available for larger events.

What happens if my guest count changes close to the event date?

Catering vendors typically require final headcount confirmation 7-10 days before the event. Changes after this deadline may incur additional fees or adjustments. Clarify their specific policy when signing the contract to avoid misunderstandings near your event date.

Does Big Flavours provide service staff, or do I need to arrange servers separately?

This varies by vendor package. Some catering services include basic setup and service, while others offer drop-off only. Confirm whether staff hours, uniform requirements, and service-level expectations (cocktail service, plate clearing, bar service) are included or available as add-ons.
