Wedding Grazing Tables | Bay of Plenty & Coromandel | NZ

I love weddings, and I especially love a grazing table at a wedding! (yeah, I might be a little biased). They bring your guests together with no designated tables or fancy cutlery necessary. Guests can eat as little or as much as they like, they can try pesto and pear on camembert or stick with hummus, crackers and tomatoes if they like.

Not only are grazing tables delicious and budget friendly, they also look beautiful on Instagram under your wedding #hashtag!

Whether you want to fill the hungry tummies of 200 guests or offer nibbles whilst you're off having your photographs, let us know the details and lets work together to make this a day you won't forget with our weddings grazing tables available in the Bay of Plenty and Coromandel.

Bay of Plenty Wedding Grazing Table | The Honest Platter | NZ

They don't need to be huge to be beautiful!

Who Are We?

Well actually, we is just I. I'm Hollie, lover of all things beautiful and raw. Incredibly passionate about patting every dog I come across and filling every space in my tiny house with plants and succulents so there is literally no room for anything else. I love eating fruit straight from their trees, watching plants grow unbelievable flowers and sitting back and enjoying friends and strangers alike bonding over the platters I create.

I'm a perfectionist and like most perfectionists I'm my own worst critic. I'll happily do things a hundred times over until it is just right. I use that passion for perfection in what I create for my clients. I want everyone's experience with The Honest Platter to be one that they walk away from feeling a new love for food.

Honesty is my core value, in life and in business. Building relationships with clients, fellow businesses and people that I meet on my travels around the Bay of Plenty is what keeps The Honest Platter, honest.

I hope I get to work with you, and I hope I get to wow you.

Hola Niños! ❤️
This little kiddies platter is off to a party in Kati! For the lovely Ning.

I wanted to introduce myself to all the lovely new faces here ❤️ Hey 👋🏽 I’m Hollie! I’m the person you’ll talk to here on social, on email or on the phone! I’m the person that turns up with delicious food and spends hours before hand making sure my platters are up to your expectations. I’m the person that will count down to your wedding with you, get excited about your engagement with you and lend a helping hand when those last minute stresses kick in. This little business of mine is so much more than me and platters and grazing tables. It’s a community. A network of unbelievably talented suppliers, local growers and customers who have become friends. I’m proud of where this little journey started and how it is growing with the help of you all. So I just wanted to say thank you. From those that were here from the start to those that have just joined. I can’t wait to keep moving forward with you all! I also love wine, just saying ...

Today’s platter was for a very special occasion! A surprise wedding in Katikati 🍇 The bride and groom used all local businesses to create their special day, and I loved that about them! The most relaxed and loving couple I have ever had the pleasure of meeting ❤️ thank you! I videoed this whole process and the suppliers I used, you can find it on my Instagram page under the ‘About Us’ highlight.

Sometimes when I’m having a mental creative block I think to myself “maybe I’ll just have a quick look at Pinterest?”. So I open up the app and type in ‘platters’, but that is as far as I go. Imitation isn’t the finest form on flattery. Creativity and individuality is what will set you apart. Going above and beyond to think of something new and useful for your customers will help you succeed. For us, that is exactly what these boards did. We weren’t happy with cardboard boxes or lending platters out and then needing to organise a time with our customers to pick them up. We hand make these and they are yours to keep afterwards, to do with what you like. We’re constantly improving and thinking up new ideas, so stick around for beautiful new things to come ❤️

Something extra special for the beautiful Kellie this morning 🍇 I’m so lucky to be able to play a little part in beautiful gatherings and get togethers throughout the Bay. Today Kellie is saying farewell to her friends before moving over to Australia. Kellie, you were a dream. All the best lovely ❤️

Little cutie at my favourite @sydworkshops 🍊 thank you @georgiamcneilphotography for this snap! 📸

Today I’m at my desk making the big decisions! 🧀 Which cheeses should I use in this weekends grazing table? This one here featured 1kg of OMG Triple Cream Brie, 1kg of Camembert, 1kg of Creamy Blue and 1kg of Red Planet Leicester all from the delicious @overthemoondairy 🙌🏽 What cheese would you like to see on your table?! (Vegan options available too btw, so pop those below also!)

Today’s lunch Cuadrado for Shaylene and the grown ups!
It’s Tamarillo season! 🎉 This little fruit is also known as the ‘tree tomato’ and the red variety was actually cultivated here in NZ! When eaten raw the Tamarillo offers an unbelievable array of flavours. Tangy yet sweet! Some compare it to passion fruit, kiwi fruit, guava and tomato! I think it tastes like Tamarillo though... 🤷🏽‍♀️ P.S don’t eat the skin raw, that’s not so good! Spoon out the deliciousness! ❤️

Something a little different for this rainy Saturday! Thank you Shaylene for trusting me with this kiddies platter! 💕

Did you know, when I was just a wee British tot, my dad used to bring me ‘midnight feasts’ to snack on in bed. These were little platters with cheese and nibbles that I’d look forward to all week (pretty sure I thought 8pm was midnight)! We’re pretty sure this is where my love of creating platters... and just eating in general comes from! 😂❤️ I hope I can bring you memories as fond as my own! P.S yes I am cry laughing in this because I can never be serious.

If you’re at the @creativebayofplenty event tonight, a little birdy told me that the snacks are off the charts! 🐥 (I’m the birdy)

100% plant based, 100% yum! ❤️
Platters make for the best hospital pick me up! #whatveganseat

I love that we are the generation of women that treat their partners. That plan surprise dates and pay for dinners. We are the generation that understands that equality only works both ways. Treat them every single day in every single way ❤️ @Hollie._.rose is treating her man to a Tuapiro picnic tonight! Great name, great idea girl!

Today I nibbled on toast for lunch... 🤦🏽‍♀️ It should have been this in my belly! Two lunch platters make for a fine feast ❤️

How It Works | Platters & Grazing Tables | Bay of Plenty & Coromandel | NZ

We can cater for any sized event within the Bay of Plenty and Coromandel and we can customise the experience to fit within your theme. Outdoor picnic? No worries. Corporate get together? We'll see it done! Backyard wedding? Yes please!

For our grazing tables, we set up and pack down for you, so there is no need to worry about anything. We bring our beautiful trestle table along. Set up and then leave you to enjoy the graze. Next morning we're back to clean up and say thank you for having us as part of your event! We can offer wait staff if needed, but usually we just leave you and your guests to enjoy the day and the graze.

Our platters come prepared in homemade platter boards that you get to keep! Find out more about them here! We drop them off and then leave you in peace!
