Testimonials

Sunny Rays have catered to many of our personal & business functions, varying their skills from casual dining to fine dining right through to sommelier experiences. Deans knowledge of cuisine and wine through over a decade of international travel has given him a continental edge with his ideas and creativity in food and dining service. We highly recommend Dean as the most diverse caterer on the Sunshine Coast for any event!

Century21 Grant Smith Property, Buderim

“I hosted a private four course ‘blind’ food and wine pairing event for a group of 12 people. Sunny Rays were absolutely outstanding and made the night a complete success. Dean’s background training, knowledge and passion of both food and wine is incredible – this coupled with his organizational and people skills made everything so professional and effortless. He listened and understood what I wanted to achieve for the event – then his creativity took it to the next level. Thank you Dean. I highly recommend Sunny Rays.”

Mark Gacesa, Ultraspace Sunshine Coast

I highly recommend this catering company. Dean was helpful prior to the event and readily communicated with me regarding menu’s, drinks etc. On the day of the function they arrived on time, set up quickly and discreetly and got to work offering our guests drinks on their arrival. The food was great and plentiful and our guests commented how lovely everything was. Dean was flexible and very easy to work with. I would definitely employ Sunny Rays Catering again. Thanks guys!

Barbara, Glasshouse Mountains

Sunny Rays catering for an 80th birthday was just amazing. For a start, we were not stressed by having to prepare, cook and serve, but more importantly, the food was stunningly presented and so delicious. Our guests were all impressed at Dean’s professionalism and friendly manner, enabling the party to run so smoothly. Thank you Dean, you have won fans among our friends!

Margaret & John, Alexandra Headland

Sunny Rays is exceptionally professional from planning to service, catering for our 80+ guests for a Birthday AND family Wedding. Dean always shows positivity and creativity with his cocktail style menus. Chef Brent delivers very tasty and delicious canapés, sliders and fun flavorsome mains. Staff are friendly and efficient. We also utilised Sunny Rays for a private home dinner party to celebrate a special birthday. Totally can recommend Sunny Rays and we will definitely engage in their outstanding services again. Thank you to all for helping us celebrate and create such a wonderful event for our special wedding day .
