“We had wonderful Christmas drinks and canapés on Saturday evening. Matt’s crew were professional, friendly and the food was amazing. My kitchen was left spotless – they even cleaned my floors! The bar service was fantastic with great cocktails which made my party a success! Thank you once again!”
“We used Catered by Matt for our team Christmas party and chose the canapés option and bar service. The food was amazing and everyone loved it! Great service and help with organising in such a short amount of time frame too!”
“We had Catered by Matt for my birthday party and it was everything we had hoped for. We had their friendly staff serving delicious canapés and running a pop-up bar with great cocktails! Their communication is second to none, and we would strongly recommend them for any future canapé events!”
Every package includes menu planning, chef-prepared food, experienced wait staff, and cleanup. The bar package includes our premium bar for four hours, a bar staff to serve drinks and shake cocktails, glassware, and barware.
We manage every detail with the same care you put into your guest list so you can stay present in the celebration, never preoccupied.

Yes. Our service includes an on-site chef and professional staff with experience at Sydney’s leading venues. We handle everything from the kitchen to the floor, ensuring a seamless experience throughout.
We offer complete beverage service: expertly matched wine pairings, signature cocktails, champagne, and non-alcoholic options. To keep your costs down, we recommend sourcing our suggested wines and beverages directly through Dan Murphy’s or your preferred supplier, avoiding the markups many caterers add. All glassware, barware, and cocktail equipment is coordinated through our trusted hire partner, including delivery, setup, and pack-down. Entirely managed, entirely stress-free.
