Plated Moment

The Story Behind Plated Moment Hi I’m Melissa, I was always the one most excited about gatherings around good food, good people, and meaningful moments. Whether it was family celebrations or creative projects in college, I gravitated toward roles that let me blend organisation, aesthetics, and exceptional experiences. That natural draw toward facilitating great events eventually became my professional path, one rooted in craftsmanship, connection, and storytelling through food. How It All Started My formal journey began in event management; I trained specifically in events and earned qualifications that equipped me to deliver seamless experiences for clients. Over time, I developed deep expertise in planning and executing corporative events where every detail mattered, from guest flow to ambience and the food itself. Today, I’m proud to call myself a Senior Event Manager, shaped by hands-on work and academic training in event and hospitality disciplines. But while working in event management, I noticed something important: food isn’t just sustenance, it’s a centrepiece of memory. Guests don’t just remember a venue or a playlist, they remember how the table looked, how the flavours surprised them, and how it felt to gather around beautifully curated boards. That insight began to steer my focus from purely logistical event work to the artistry of food presentation itself. From Events to Plated Moment That shift in focus grew into something more intentional. I founded Plated Moment to fuse my event management background with a passion for gourmet curations that elevate every celebration. My experience taught me that people value memorable experiences, especially when food serves as both a sensory and emotional anchor. I realised there was a space for handcrafted charcuterie, bespoke grazing tables, and personalised luxury gifting that told a story rather than just fed guests. So I set out to fill that space, creating offerings that are: Thoughtfully designed Visually stunning and Instagram-worthy Rooted in high-quality flavours and ingredients Perfect for personal celebrations as well as corporate events What Inspires me: The joy on someone’s face when they see an artfully curated board for the first time The stories people share around a table The way beautifully prepared food brings people together, even across cultures The challenge of turning a theme or emotion into an edible experience Every event, whether intimate or large-scale, carries its own energy. My work is about amplifying that energy through food so that each moment feels considered, elevated, and unforgettable.

Before launching Plated Moment, my professional journey was built on: Event planning and management expertise Advanced training in event strategy, coordination, and execution a belief that details matter especially in luxury experiences These foundations empower me to deliver catering and edible artistry that feels seamless, cohesive, and aligned with my clients’ visions. Whether it’s a corporate launch, a wedding reception, or a bespoke gifting moment, I approach every project with purpose, creativity, and meticulous care
