Let’s talk Christmas parties

We offer:

• Flexible catering for carnivores, vegetarians and vegans
• Licensed mobile bar service
• BYO and non-alcoholic options
• Set menus and bespoke menus
• Event set-up and coordination
• Catering for intimate teams through to large organisations

Even if you are only at the “we should probably organise something” stage, send us a message. The best summer dates are already beginning to fill.

A very cool business is looking for a new home.

Our wider events business is booming, and with our focus increasingly moving towards weddings, catering and corporate events, we’ve made the difficult decision to let our boutique children’s party business go to someone who can give it the energy and attention it deserves.

This is a complete, ready-to-go business and equipment package, bringing together:

• Boutique teepee sleepovers
• Styled picnic parties
• DIY pamper parties
• Paint & Create experiences
• Beautiful equipment and themed collections
• Professional imagery, pricing, suppliers and established systems
• A complete handover and training session

There are so many ways for the right person to make it their own, from private birthdays and children’s catering to school holiday sessions, community events, sports clubs and creative collaborations.

All the beautiful pieces sourced. All the groundwork done. Ready for a new owner to take it forward.

For the full information pack, contact Anna at [email protected].

A wedding doesn’t always have to fit neatly into one day.

When your favourite people have travelled from across New Zealand—or further—to celebrate with you, it makes sense to create a little more time together.

That might look like welcome drinks and grazing the evening before, cocktails and a shared feast on the wedding day, followed by coffee, brunch and a slightly slower catch-up the next morning.

At Lemon Pie Events, we can cater for the whole wedding weekend, including:

– Welcome dinners and pre-wedding gatherings
– Canapés, shared feasts and wedding receptions
– Mobile caravan bars and cocktail service
– Day-after brunches and recovery grazing
– Staff, beverage service and practical event support

You don’t need to organise three completely separate events or coordinate a long list of suppliers. We can help you create one beautifully connected celebration that feels generous, relaxed and completely your own.

Planning a multi-day wedding in Otago, Southland or Canterbury? We’re now taking bookings for the upcoming wedding season.

Some people come to us with a venue, a guest list and a very clear vision.

Others come to us with a date and a sentence that begins, “We were thinking maybe…”

Both are completely fine.

Our job is to listen, ask the right questions and help you create an event that feels like you — while making sure it works practically behind the scenes.

We bring together food, planning, service, timing and all the small details guests may never notice individually, but will absolutely feel as part of the experience.

Weddings, corporate events, Christmas parties, private celebrations, retreats and multi-day gatherings: every event is different, which is precisely why we don’t believe in forcing people into one standard format.

Bring us your occasion. We’ll help you work out the rest.

Why should you book your spring, summer or Christmas event now?

Not because we want to add unnecessary urgency. Simply because booking early gives you more choice.

More choice of dates. More time to secure the right venue. More flexibility around your menu and event format. More opportunity to consider the details properly — and far less pressure as the day gets closer.

December in particular has a habit of arriving very quickly.

If you’re responsible for a wedding, work function, family celebration or end-of-year event, an early conversation can make the entire process easier.

Lemon Pie Events is now taking bookings for the upcoming season. Even if you’re still at the “we’re thinking about doing something” stage, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Planning an event? Start with these four things:

- Why you’re bringing people together
- How many guests you’re expecting
- Where you’d like to hold it
- How you want it to feel

You don’t need to choose the exact menu before making an enquiry. You don’t need a complete run sheet. You definitely don’t need to know how many forks will be required.

Once we understand the occasion, the guests and the atmosphere you’re trying to create, we can help you work through the food, timing, service and practical details.

Good event planning isn’t about adding more for the sake of it. It’s about making thoughtful decisions early so the day itself feels easy.

Have a spring or summer event beginning to take shape? Bring us the idea and we’ll help you turn it into a plan.

You can host an incredible event without spending the entire day checking the oven, finding more glasses and wondering whether everyone has eaten.

In fact, we strongly recommend it.

Lemon Pie Events can look after much more than dropping off the food. Depending on what you need, we can help plan the menu, shape the format, coordinate the practical details and support the event itself.

That means you can welcome your guests, have a proper conversation and enjoy the occasion you’ve put so much effort into creating.

From milestone birthdays and family celebrations to corporate events and long summer lunches, we create events that feel generous, relaxed and beautifully considered.

Spring and summer dates are now open.

One of the most important wedding menu questions isn’t simply, “What food do we like?”

It’s, “How do we want the day to feel?”

A formal seated dinner creates a very different atmosphere from shared feasting, roaming plates or relaxed grazing.

There’s no universally right answer — only the format that works best for your venue, guests and vision.

We love helping couples think beyond a standard wedding menu.

That might mean beautiful canapés while photographs are happening, generous shared dishes that get everyone talking, or progressive roaming dining that keeps guests moving, mingling and discovering something new.

The food should feel like part of the celebration, not a pause in it.

If you’re planning your wedding and aren’t quite sure which style will work best, talk to us. We’ll help you create an experience that suits the way you actually want to celebrate.
