Kemp and Kemp absolutely nailed it, THANK YOU!
Richard and Karen really are the dream team! Karen understood exactly what we wanted right from the start and made it so effortless helping us choose everything we wanted. Richard's infamous checklist kept us on track and helped organise everything catering (and everything else too) making sure we had everything in place well ahead of time so there was no stress involved on the day. Their Fabulous Team led by Andre had everything in control on the day and People cant stop talking about how great the food was! Kemp and Kemp absolutely nailed it, THANK YOU!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
If you are thinking about booking Kemp and Kemp for your wedding catering then do not hesitate! Richard and Karen are just the most brilliant duo and we were confident from the first time we spoke to them that we would be in safe hands. They provide a wonderfully personal service and their food is second to none. All of our guests raved about the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes! Richard loves to be organised and sends brilliant checklists to keep you on track – it made the day run so smoothly. They really do go above and beyond and will solve all problems and challenges that arise with minimal fuss and stress. They will stay calm and keep you calm too. I cannot recommend them more highly – booking them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Our guests were blown away with the food
Kemp and kemps balanced professional and personal perfectly. We knew from the moment we made contact that they would provide amazing food and exceptional service - they did just that! Their organisation and planning was second to none and was immensely helpful when planning a DIY wedding. Throughout the process and from the moment our drinks reception started they ensured our wedding ran smoothly. The menu Karen designed was perfectly suited to the style of our wedding, we were almost spoilt for choice! The tasting session was invaluable in helping us shortlist - all the food was delicious and Karen was really helpful! Our guests were blown away with the food, it was of exceptional quality without any pretentiousness! We’ve had loads of compliments, particularly on the three cheese tarts and the make your own pudding, which definitely featured heavily on Instagram! We couldn’t recommend Karen, Richard and their team highly enough.

Relaxed but exacting. Generous. Positive (and 'can do'). Hyper-organised.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Starting with nothing in an industry we knew nothing about and becoming a force to be reckoned with.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Find suppliers that are all-in and never have 'hidden extras' (us in other words!).

Wellington Boots as flower vases. Lego characters as place names.
