It all started when…
Jade was entrusted with catering for a friend’s 40th birthday. It was 2016, grazing was around, but not really a ‘thing’ in Geelong just yet.
Jade was known to be the platter gal of the group though, so she set about creating a graze that spanned the entire table incorporating loads of fun props and gorgeous florals too.
Post-party, the feedback on the table was amazing. It seeded thoughts of 'Hey, maybe someone else may want to do this for their party?'. Within 48hrs the business name was registered, the website and social handles were set-up and that was that - Platter Co - Geelong's first specialty Grazing Catering business was born.
After taking over the day to day running of Platter Co from good friend Jade at the beginning of 2020, Stacey Whiteford is now the proud owner of the biz. With a background in PR and marketing, Platter Co is something totally different for her, but she’s thoroughly enjoying her cheese change.
Over the years, Jade (and now Stacey) have created and styled delicious grazing platters and delivered carefully curated grazing boxes for many thousands of guests across Geelong and in Melbourne. Grazing has become a beloved form of catering, whether it’s a special occasion or cute night in, grazing is a beautiful, flexible and cost effective option, sure to delight.
Today Platter Co is Geelong’s home of grazing catering, having recently added extra options like sandwiches, sweets and brunch fare to the offer, Stacey is creating more grazing platters than ever and loving every last crumb.
