YR Events

At YR Events, we believe great catering should be as memorable as the occasion itself. We work closely with every client to create bespoke menus that reflect their vision, whether it's an intimate dinner party, a corporate reception or a large celebration.

Founded by a Ferrandi Paris-trained chef with experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, Harrods and luxury hospitality, we combine classical culinary expertise with modern presentation and impeccable service. Every menu is prepared using carefully sourced ingredients and tailored to your event.

From elegant canapés and seasonal buffets to grazing tables and formal dining, we take care of every detail so you can enjoy your event with complete confidence. We pride ourselves on being professional, reliable and genuinely passionate about creating exceptional experiences for every client.

My career in hospitality began more than 20 years ago in France, where I trained at FERRANDI Paris before developing my experience in Michelin-starred kitchens and luxury hospitality. My career later took me from Paris to Sydney and London, working across restaurants, hotels and large-scale events. Over the years, I’ve learned that memorable catering is about much more than the food itself. It’s the combination of thoughtful menus, beautiful presentation, careful planning and genuine hospitality that makes an event feel special. I created YR Events to bring those elements together in a more personal way. Today, we provide bespoke catering for private celebrations, weddings and corporate events across Surrey and London, with a focus on seasonal ingredients, refined presentation and warm, professional service. What continues to inspire me is that no two events are the same. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a celebration at home or a larger event, I enjoy creating an experience that feels considered, effortless and individual to each client.
