Our
‍Story

Forest Edge has welcomed weddings and special celebrations for over twenty years, built on genuine hospitality, attention to detail and a setting that does half the work for you.

As we step into a new chapter, the Butterworth family has entrusted the management of weddings and events to Essential Catering & Events. They have been part of Forest Edge’s food service for the past five years, which means the experience you love remains grounded in the same warmth, delivered with even more focus across planning and operations.

A team that plans with
‍clarity & delivers with care

Great events do not feel managed. They feel natural. Behind the scenes, that takes structure, calm coordination and an eye for detail.

With Essential Catering & Events overseeing wedding and event sales, planning and operations, you can expect an organised planning experience, clear communication and a team that understands how to bring a vision to life while keeping the day feeling relaxed.

‍Forest Edge Setting
