WE ARE GREAT AT WHAT WE DO!

After working for the Cambridge Dining Co. team for many years as a waitress, I got a real bug for the industry. Seeing the blank canvas of a venue transformed is my favourite thing about planning a wedding – building a marquee, dressing the room, bringing in a band, a bar, a photographer and seeing guests’ excitement when they walk into the space. The moment at the end of the night when a Bride and Groom look so happy and thankful for all of the hard work you have put in to create their special day makes it all worthwhile.

My favourite thing about my job is the impact a memorable Cambridge Dining Co. wedding makes on our couples and guests. I have such a fun, happy job (it doesn’t feel like work to me!), and it has been such a journey in which we have learnt so much! I cannot do it without the amazing team around me and I love coming away from a wedding reflecting on how everyone makes it happen with such dedication and passion. The best part of a wedding is arranging the bride’s dress before the newlyweds are announced into the room. There is a moment where it is just you and them that feels so special having planned their day with them for so long.

I am really lucky to work with a team of amazing, passionate and hardworking people. Their passion drives me, grows the business and ensures that our company values and standards are always met. We are lucky to have such a variety of events to work on from intimate dinners to large scale corporate events, no two days are the same!

With a background in design and events I founded Cambridge Dining Co. in 2011 with my business partners. We started out with just two of us and my estate car! We would set up, serve and wash up all of the events! 13 years later and a lot of hard work, we are now regarded as one of the best catering and event management companies in the region.

My Cambridge Dining Co. journey started over ten years ago as a waitress. I have always loved the hospitality industry. Weddings and events are where you can hone your skills and really make an impact with excellent customer service and teamwork. I have had a few roles in the business. My current role as Finance Manager has allowed me to take a step back from running events but still have a hand in every aspect of the company. I am very proud to be part of a successful events and catering company, and I look forward to the next ten years!

I started working for Cambridge Dining Co. in June 2013 as a front of house waiter as a way of gaining my own identity whilst still being able to be a full-time mum. I soon became an event manager and worked my way up through the company, I am now Head of people Development & HR.

I love the variety of my role and firmly believe that everyone should work in the world of hospitality at least once to gain invaluable life skills. I have recently started up the Cambridge Dining Co. Training School to help all young front of house staff to gain confidence and improve their skills.

My favourite thing about events is the Christmas corporate parties, and watching everyone just having the most wonderful time with exceptional food & drink!!

I love working with such a fun and passionate team where we create the most memorable weddings and events together. I have brought with me years of experience in wedding venue management, sales and marketing and love the creativity of my job. Managing our online presence, it’s wonderful to capture content from the magical occasions we cater for and really showcase what we do. I am proud to be a part of this award-winning company since it combines my three big passions in life: food, people and weddings!

Working with the team at Cambridge Dining Co. is such a pleasure and makes my life as a chef enjoyable. I like creating bespoke menus for our wedding couples. Before then, I worked in and around Cambridge in pubs, restaurants, hotels and Michelin starred restaurants and also worked in Melbourne, Australia with a Michelin starred chef. My favourite style of food has to be modern European tapas, particularly scallops with crispy bacon and garlic butter!

I was head chef at a lovely restaurant in a quaint village west of Cambridge for 3 years before I joined Cambridge Dining Co. and now I love challenging myself with the variety of weddings and events we do. I enjoy the small weddings, where you feel like you are one of the guests and can really fill the evening with flare and excitement. Another favourite part of my job is the tastings that we do in the tasting suite – it’s great to be able to have that connection with couples before their big day.

I joined CDC as an Event Manager shortly after becoming a new Mum in 2021. I loved how flexible the job was around my family life and the variety of events we are a part of. I now support the weddings logistically from our base in Harston alongside running them on location. I have the best, hardworking team which makes the job so fun and fulfilling!

I’ve been in the events industry for over 10 years, working on high profile events such as the Olympics, London Marathon and other mass participation events. I love nothing more than being on the ground at weddings and making sure everyone has a magical time. I love the variety of weddings at Cambridge Dining Co. each one brings something new and I get to work with some wonderful couples.
