Is Catering Expensive — and Why?

When planning a wedding, corporate function, or private celebration, food should bring everyone together, not leave some guests excluded. At Good 2 Eat Catering, we know that dietary requirements are more than just a checklist. Whether it’s gluten-free catering for a Maleny wedding, vegan catering in Noosa, or dairy-free options for a Sunshine Coast corporate lunch, careful planning ensures every guest feels valued.
Why It Matters
Dietary needs aren’t just preferences; for many guests they’re health and safety concerns. Ignoring them can lead to awkward situations, or worse, serious medical emergencies. That’s why we treat allergy-friendly catering with the same importance as menu design or service style.
From weddings in Montville and Maleny to corporate catering in Maroochydore, we take the time to gather accurate information, confirm details with clients, and design menus that taste as good as they look.
Common Dietary Requests We Cater For
Gluten-free and coeliac-friendly menus
Vegan and vegetarian catering
Dairy-free and lactose-intolerant options
Nut-free catering
Low FODMAP and onion/garlic-free dishes
We also provide menus that are clearly marked with dietary symbols, so guests know exactly what’s safe for them.
Weddings & Dietary Needs
Couples planning a Sunshine Coast wedding often worry whether their diverse guest list will be catered for. We make it seamless: your grazing table, canapé selection, or plated alternate-drop menu can all include dietary variations without drawing attention or feeling “different.”
Imagine a Noosa wedding reception where vegan guests enjoy canapés just as delicious as everyone else’s, or a Maleny hinterland wedding where gluten-free desserts are so good no one can tell the difference. That’s the standard we aim for.
Corporate Catering with Care
For businesses hosting conferences, networking nights, or team celebrations, dietary inclusivity is just as important. Our corporate catering packages across the Sunshine Coast are designed to ensure everyone at the table can join in, from boardrooms in Caloundra to retreats in the Glass House Mountains.
Our Approach
We confirm dietary requirements early and double-check closer to the event
Menus are flexible and can be customised for specific needs.
We focus on presentation so no guest feels left out.
