Travelling far and wide across Melbourne and Victoria, Adrian of Fat Cats offers food that is as casual or as formal as your wedding is. With full wedding catering packages (offering staffing needs and even hire items) and flexible menus that include dishes as diverse as Braised beef short ribs with vincotto & rosemary or Homemade Blini with smoked trout, herbed creme fraiche & fennel salad, you can be assured that your mouth will water as look at the options on offer,  let alone being a lucky wedding guest to actually experience Adrian’s fine cuisine!

We asked Adrian of Fat Cats five questions in five minutes:

What is the most important piece of advice you can give to engaged couples?
Make sure you remember the day is all about you – let it be a reflection of your personality and style and make sure it’s just a fun party for you and all your friends and family!
Also, organise all the big things first (venue, catering, dress/suit etc) so you can take your pick of your fave vendors – then try and enjoy the process and not sweat the small stuff. That’s what your vendors are there to help you with!

Tell us about a hidden talent you have?
Hidden talent of mine – talking to pretty much anyone about pretty much anything … This is kinda why I mostly love my job! I get to meet beautiful couples and be a part of making their big day extra special and smooth sailing.
I like to meet couples and their families beforehand at tastings (if they want to sample my food prior to booking), as I find we get to have a good chat, connect and iron out all the important details.

As a vendor, what excites you about the wedding day?
I love seeing the creativity and uniqueness that goes into each wedding. I love a little eavesdrop on the speeches if we have time. We love making people happy through food first and foremost! So I’m most excited by happy brides, grooms and their guests. When people come up and compliment the food I feel pretty chuffed and know I’ve done a good job and contributed to a beautiful wedding in an important way.

What are you known for?
I’m known for a good chin-wag as I said, and I’m definitely known to over-cater! The more the merrier we say!

If you could choose a song to play for the rest of your life what would it be?
Hmm, that’s a tough one, but let’s go with Charles Bradley ‘Lovin’ You Baby’ – my wife and I did our first dance to this song and belted out every word together as we went. It was super spontaneous (especially the singing part) so hearing it now always brings a smile (and tear) to me!
