Mistere- Corporate Catering, Gold Coast

Corporate Catering on the Gold Coast comes in many forms, we paired up for another amazing co-collaboration with Decinda and her magic team at Sugar & Spice Events to help launch the Luxury Gold Coast Hinterland Retreat Mistere. A truly stunning, uniquely Australian location, perched in the rainforest above Murwillumbah. Peace and tranquility are the cornerstone of this magnificent site, sprinkled with the soothing sounds of babbling creeks and birdsong.

The brief for this intimate event was for a lavish Rainforest Feast featuring local and indigenous foods, we designed a corporate catering menu to reflect the stunning location and showcase local ingredients. Decinda and her team created a Rainforest Wonderland, guests dropped at a secret location at the top of the property made their way down to the waterhole, guided and entertained along the way by a troop of performers channeling rainforest creatures, a la Cirque de Soleil. The first stop, a refreshment station, Ink Gin cocktails and a Rainforest Grazing table. Moving on to a special raised platform built by the waterhole for a Rainforest Feast. The theme continued with table runners of moss and pebbles, with menu beautifully scribbed onto giant leaves. The night was capped with a private performance by James Reyne…Corporate Catering on the Gold Coast next level! and also Finger Food Catering Gold Coast.
