love notes from you
I’ve been curating holiday experiences for my VIP guests for years, and these gourmet platters have truly elevated my hosting game. From the moment they’re unboxed, you can see the care and craftsmanship — every detail is refined, fresh, and beautifully presented. Mel is a so good at what she does…
The quality of ingredients is exceptional — artisanal cheeses, perfectly cured meats , homemade sweets and seasonal fruits, These platters don’t just look impressive — they taste phenomenal. My guests consistently rave about them. Thank you Platters by the sea! xx

Mel’s platters were amazing. She makes everything herself and is extremely accommodating. I can’t recommend platters by the sea highly enough. She made our wedding weekend celebrations even more special by making catering so easy for us.
Call Mel for all your catering needs!!
