About

Oaktree occasions was set up and run by friends Jo and Caroline in 2013. With over 45 years' combined experience in the catering and hospitality industry, they have extensive knowledge of running events. They previously set up a successful restaurant together but their requests to cater for larger events gave them the idea to set up Oaktree Occasions.

Caroline is the head chef. Classically trained, her knowledge gives you the freedom to create your own bespoke menu. Caroline can offer expert advice on how to suit the menu to your budget and theme.

Jo is the front of house manager and master of ceremonies. Her skills and expertise are next to none when it comes to working professionally in the hospitality service. Qualified in Cornwall, she has worked in the UK and overseas and is praised for her extra touches and little details.

Service

Before the day

Oaktree Occasions ensure that the level of service you receive is unlike any other. A site visit is essential to familiarise themselves with the venue and its surroundings. If the venue allows, they will be with you the day before to aid set up of tables and ensure every detail is in place.

On the day

Oaktree give an efficient service with fully trained and smartly dressed staff. The running of the wedding breakfast is organised, with one table served at a time. For buffets, Jo will be present to prompt each table so chaos is avoided. Plates are collected promptly after service.

The Food

The food is completely homemade, nothing is bought in frozen. Oaktree Occasions only source produce from local suppliers and pride themselves on the exquisite taste and presentation of the dishes they serve.

The dishes are prepared to a certain point at their kitchen (awarded a five-star hygiene rating) and transported in a refrigerated van to your venue. It is then cooked on site.

There is an extensive choice of menus that Caroline and Jo have created. Alternatively, they can work alongside you to create a bespoke menu. They can prepare:

  • Canapés
  • Afternoon tea
  • Hot and cold buffets
  • Barbecues
  • Traditional formal breakfasts
Equipment hire

To avoid sourcing two suppliers, Oaktree Occasions can supply their own tableware and crockery of the best quality. This means they are washed up and looked after by the team on the day.

  • Jo and Pete Broad

    Our barn wedding was such an incredible day; it was everything we wished for and more! Throughout the planning you have been extremely helpful and flexible to our needs. It was an ambitious vision to do the wedding on our working family farm but you were fantastic. On the day your staff kept all the guests and us very happy and topped-up. Special thanks for saving some canapés for us! The whole day was a great success, we cannot thank you enough.

  • Ness and John Bacon

    Thank you so much for all your help and hard work, before, during and after our wedding. You all did an amazing job (especially Jo and Caroline going above and beyond your roles) in order to give us our special day. Both us, and our families will never forget what you have done for us, you are true angels! We truly do not know what we would have done without you all. We had an amazing day, with some very special people and outstanding caterers. The food was yummy and all the guests were so impressed. Above all your service, professionalism, attention to detail and kindness could not be matched by anyone.

  • Katie and Gwilym

    Dear Jo and Caroline, Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. On top of making the perfect wedding breakfast for us (everyone is still talking about the lamb!) you somehow made the whole day go perfectly without us even knowing you were doing it! It would have been a very, very different day without you both. Your staff were all lovely too!
