Hi, I'm Hadi 👋

For me, the best compliment isn’t ‘beautiful food’ - it’s an empty serving dish.
Three fun facts about me: I studied Engineering at Cambridge University, competed at a national level in horse riding, and helped raise over £20,000 for charities supporting underprivileged children. What drew me into weddings and events is how many of the things I enjoy come together in one place: good food, beautiful settings, interesting people and the challenge of making lots of moving parts feel effortless.

The Syrian Sunflower Full Description

Welcome to our hub! An A-to-Z Syrian cuisine wedding catering service covering canapes, wedding feasts, and evening parties. Whether you're looking for a professionally styled open buffet or sharing platters on guest tables, we got you covered.

To save you the hassle of working with 6 different vendors just to enjoy your wedding meal, we provide full wedding staffing, cutlery & crockery, glasses, table linen, coffee & tea, desserts, and more while also handling setup and clear-up.

Founded in 2018 as a non-profit project, we set out to help women finding their path gain a head start through real training and paid opportunities. We’ve since grown into a mission-led catering company working across England, serving inclusive Middle Eastern menus that bring guests together.

Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Hadi Alkhouri
One of my favourite signs that we’ve done our job properly is seeing guests go back for a second plate. The other is seeing the couple barely notice us working behind the scenes. Weddings can get complex very quickly... but they don't need to. I'm here to break everything down into simple choices, and help you find what works best for you and your day.

I cannot recommend them highly enough
We chose this company to provide the catering for my niece's wedding reception held at my house in north London recently. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They arrived on time, and quickly set up without fuss. The food was ridiculously delicious without exception. Most of the guests had not had Syrian food- they thought it was Greek (shhh- it is like Greek but a million times better!)- and all were absolutely wowed by it. The humble hummus received the greatest praise!

We were impressed with your service and team...
Prested Hall and the team were equally impressed with your service and team. I have seen your Google reviews which are a credit to you! We do however recommend caterers to people that we have had a positive experience with, and you are included in this.

My guests were delighted
We used the Syrian sunflower to cater for our son’s wedding. It was a genuine pleasure to deal with Hadi from the first phone call. Nothing was too much trouble despite me asking many many questions! We had a tasting and It was absolutely delicious. I was concerned the taste and quality would not be the same for so many people but on the day it was actually better. My guests were delighted. Hadi attended himself and oversaw the arrangements and the staff he brought with him were lovely...
