A Note On Drinks & Timing

+ Drinks

Harvest & Heal events are alcohol-free — a deliberate choice rooted in the same philosophy as everything else on the table. In its place, I create bespoke sparkling elixirs designed to complement each menu — house-made botanical blends, adaptogen-infused waters, and seasonal fruit and herb combinations.

Think sparkling hibiscus and rose with a hint of cardamom, or a warm spiced apple and ginger elixir for cooler evenings. Guests consistently find them to be one of the most memorable parts of the experience.

+ Timing

I schedule first courses no later than 6pm — grounded in the science of circadian rhythm, supporting digestion, deeper sleep, and a natural, unhurried pace to the evening.

    Andrew S • Gold Coast • Private Event

    Tina A • Suffolk Park • Private Event

  • “Amy was a dream. She catered for our wedding this past weekend. She was without flaw and every aspect was as smooth as you could imagine. Thanks so much Amy for everything, I will be telling all my mates getting married to contact you."

    Jeremy & Nat • Coromandel Beach • Private Event

  • “Amy made us the most incredible dinner! She was a breeze to plan with and offered to make cute menus and bring the cutlery and crockery, making the table look cute and aesthetic. The food was amazing. Thanks so much for being a part of our special day!”

    Tayne & Danika • Northland • Private Event

  • “WOW! The food was delicious, beautifully presented and plentiful. Amy made sure the food was prepared in perfect time and was always so calm and approachable even in the busy times of service. Can't wait to work with Amy again - would highly recommend.”

    Sarah Jane L • Wategos • Private Event

  • Fridays and Saturdays book out two to three months ahead - the earlier the better. Midweek bookings can often be secured with two to three weeks' notice. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway.

  • Every event is priced individually. The per-person starting price covers menu design, all ingredient sourcing, full preparation, table styling, crockery and linen napkins, music, on-site cooking, service, and complete clean-up. No hidden costs.

  • Based in Byron Bay, working across the Byron Shire - Bangalow, Wategos, Lennox Head, Ewingsdale, Suffolk Park, Newrybar, Ocean Shores, and surrounding areas.

  • All meals are prepared using non-toxic, low-plastic cookware - no Teflon, no non-stick coatings, no plastic in contact with heat. Cast iron, stainless steel, and ceramic throughout. This is a standard I hold in my own kitchen and bring to every event.

  • Yes, and I do this regularly. I design menus that work across the table without anyone receiving a compromised version of the meal. From gluten-free to low FODMAP, vegan, paleo, autoimmune protocols, and everything in between.

  • Harvest & Heal events are alcohol-free by design. In place of wine, I create bespoke sparkling elixirs - house-made botanical blends and seasonal combinations as considered and beautiful as every other element of the meal. Guests are always pleasantly surprised.

  • Absolutely. Discretion is a matter of course. I do not share client details, guest lists, or anything about the events I work. A formal confidentiality agreement is available on request.
