BYRON BAY / JOE CHEF WEDDING CATERING

Meet Joe Chef / Artisanal. Locally Driven. Memorable.

Joe Chef is a Byron Bay wedding caterer known for turning beautiful locations into unforgettable dining experiences. Led by founder and head chef Joseph Griffin, the business is built on decades of culinary expertise earned in top kitchens across Melbourne, Europe, and beyond.

What makes Joe Chef stand out is the way they champion local, sustainable produce, sourcing from hinterland farmers, regional fishermen, and even featuring seafood Joseph catches himself. No matter where your wedding is, whether its a coastal ceremony, a lush hinterland estate, or a marquee in the bush - they bring restaurant-level skill and creativity directly to your venue.

Every wedding menu created by Joe Chef is entirely bespoke, shaped through conversations with the couple to reflect their tastes, personalities, and the energy of their day. They offer everything from vibrant grazing tables and theatrical food stations to refined multi-course plated dinners.

Think fresh oysters shucked on demand, handmade dumplings steaming in bamboo baskets, colourful sliders, or elegant seafood bars paired with thoughtfully chosen cocktails or wines. The result is a dining experience that flows beautifully from welcome drinks to dessert... one that feels curated, cohesive, and full of flavour.

The service is another standout. Couples consistently praise the warm, proactive, genuinely caring hospitality of the Joe Chef team. Staff move seamlessly through the event, anticipating guests’ needs before they even ask, ensuring drinks are topped up and plates are refreshed without ever interrupting the moment. Their experience in weddings means they’re calm, organised, and fully capable of executing even the most logistically complex celebrations.

Joe Chef doesn’t just bring the food — they bring structure, ease, and confidence to your day.

Testimonials from past couples paint a clear picture: guests rave for weeks, if not months, after the wedding. From custom-branded coconuts handed out on arrival to unforgettable dishes like their famed lobster sliders, Joe Chef creates the kind of moments people talk about long after the lights come down. It’s luxury delivered with heart & local flavour elevated with fine-dining polish and an experience that feels deeply personal from start to finish.
