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

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

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.

This duo almost didn’t make it to the feed today. I had to make them with my left hand and I was embarrassed that they weren’t quite up to scratch! 🤦🏽‍♀️ But for a gal with her right fingers bandaged up and covered in gladwrap ... I think I did an ok job! 🥝 Note: that kiwifruit slice is driving me wild!

Peep those adorable mini donuts hanging out with a bunch of delicious blue cheese and other goodies in this combo adults and kiddies grazing platter that went out to @candinaus 🧀🍩 What a cutie this one was!

@thehuiatree has combined two of my greatest loves in this photograph! Grazing platters and dogs!! 😍 Check out this awesome cameo from @halo_piccocino with this Cuadrado I created for the @secretgardenwaihibeach last Friday!

Yesterday I got to put this together for the beautiful @tahliatahau and a group of her closest friends and family as they celebrated Tahlia’s hens, the @threefolk way! 🥂❤️

Well, I can honestly say I’ve never experienced a week day quite like this before! These three cuties went out to workplaces around Tauranga this afternoon! With one for a pamper party at @hairtostareat , one for Shannen’s birthday at @firstnationalmount and one for Janette to take up to Auckland with her! 😍

But, there are still more to come too!!

Remember that grazing platter I was freaking out about over the weekend? The one where I’d mixed a Niños in with a Largo to create 1.2m of adults and children’s grazing heaven... but then didn’t get a single photograph of it! Yeah? Well look what appeared in my inbox today along with a beautiful and thoughtful review! Thank you so much for this Candice! My day has been made ❤️

When goodies like this pop into your inbox! 😍 Thanks for this rad shot @pikachunes 📸

Afternoon platters in the crisp winter sun! ❤️ These platters have been on the subs bench a lot lately, with the mini grazes proving to be a crowd favourite! What’s your pick? Platter, graze or both?

Sometimes you’ve just got to remind yourself that only six months ago you were absolutely winging it in @thenourishingbaker living room and then just take the time to step back and see how far you’ve come! ❤️ Thank you so much for all of the messages of support when I’m feeling overwhelmed and ready to throw away my platter board! What has been your favourite @honestplatter moment?

Tonight I got to put this together for @themotheryarns 😍 This was set up in the amazing work space of @onmyhand which is a creatives dream land! Have fun tonight ladies 🧀🥂

LJ Hooker Waihi Beach lunched in style today with this mini graze 😍 @tlemon.waihibeach organised this for the team and I got to take the new acacia boards for a spin so I’m doubley stoked! What a work shout!!

Today I got to put this table together for Anmea of @the_photobooth_lady 😍 Her whole family had gathered to celebrate their Mums birthday! So lovely to meet this lady in person. If you need a photo booth, Anmea is your lady! ❤️ P.S tried something a little different today with some spacing in the graze!

My brother gifted me this beautiful hand made chopping board yesterday. When I opened it, it actually brought tears to my eyes. He’d cut it, sanded it, oiled it and branded it all by hand. If you saw the wood this had started as you almost wouldn’t believe it. I’m so incredibly grateful for my family. From Mum and Dad helping out at grazes, dad whipping up platter boards last minute, mum who shares every single Facebook post and my brother, the silent 20 year old, who whips out heart breaking moments like this every now and again! I’m so lucky and so blessed ❤️ thank you J, gifts like this stay with you forever!

This morning I woke up as a 26 year old! 😳 I jumped out of bed especially early to whip up this birthday cheese-cake!
I love how this let me experiment with my crazy side a little and let me create something that is oh so me! ——
Brie, Camembert and Blue
Honey and hone comb
Walnuts and almonds
Blueberries and grapes!

Oh, if you want me, I’ll be in a birthday cheese coma.

These grazing platters went out to Nicole yesterday for her sons first birthday party! Nicole left me a lovely review on my Facebook page that has me glowing on the inside! It’s crazy how much a review like this can inspire me to keep pushing forward. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to review their honest platter experiences ❤️ Review:
“Hollie prepared the most incredible platters for my son’s first birthday. They were truely a work of art and everyone loved them! The kids platter was especially a hit. Thanks for making everything so easy we’ll certainly be calling on you again x”

Date night at @honestplatter HQ! ❤️ it’s been a huge weekend and this was exactly the high I needed to end it on. Grazing platters are the best way to dine, not biased or anything. Picked up these items on way home from deliveries today from @newworldbrookfield 😍 it’s a foodies dreamland!

An engagement party grazing table celebrating Brooke and her fiancé yesterday ❤️ These guys own @theartisanbreadbakers in Pyes Pa and are an incredibly lovely couple! I was so happy to get to meet them yesterday and put this together using their own European style breads 😍 I hope everyone had a blast!
This graze hides four cheese rounds, 2kgs of Salmon and a 5l containers worth of cut @thehungarianartisan salami!! 😍

The Largo DLX for some lucky katikati college pre-ballers 🍓

Thursday fruit platters! 🍇
This went out to a future customer today. She had emailed me late last night after talking with her event team and had decided that perhaps their graze didn’t need fruit or veg. The colour and freshness of the seasonal produce is what I love the most about our grazes, so I set about to prove to her and the team that fruit is fab. Instead of sending her an email or giving her a call, I woke up, whipped this up and delivered it to her office. Every last piece of fruit was devoured and a unanimous decision to keep the fruit was made! 🍓 I’m so incredibly stoked to be able to play a little part in changing the way people all over the Bay eat and interact with their food! ❤️ So lucky!
