TL;DR: Shiok Kitchen Catering caters at least 10 weddings a month, and behind that volume sits an in-house wedding planner who helps couples with venue recommendations, floral themes, customised invitations, wedding favours, and event logistics. This built-in planning support is what "wedding-ready" actually means for a caterer, rather than just a menu and a delivery van.
Most people booking a wedding caterer are thinking about food first. But weddings involve dozens of smaller decisions – venue layout, floral themes, invitations, table settings – that have nothing to do with the menu but still need to come together on the day. Shiok Kitchen Catering handles a meaningful share of that through an in-house wedding planner, built directly into the catering service rather than sold as a separate add-on. Couples can talk to the team directly on WhatsApp to get started.
What the In-House Wedding Planner Actually Helps With
Couples working with Shiok Kitchen Catering's wedding catering service can approach the in-house wedding planner for a genuinely broad range of support, including:
- Recommending venues suited to the couple's guest count and style
- Customising floral themes beyond what's included in a standard package
- Sourcing customised wedding invitation cards
- Arranging wedding favours
- Coordinating event logistics, including table type, chairs, linen, and cutlery to match the wedding theme
This isn't a generic planning checklist handed over at booking. It's built around the specific venue and theme each couple chooses, which is why couples are encouraged to talk directly to the team early in the planning process, whether from a wedding solemnisation, a reception, an engagement party, or a full sit-down Western course meal.
The Scale Behind the Support
Shiok Kitchen Catering caters at least 10 weddings a month. That volume matters for what "wedding-ready" actually means in practice – it takes a genuinely established operation, not an occasional sideline, to run consistent planner support across that many events simultaneously, each with its own venue, guest count, and theme.
Where the Planner Support Comes In: Real Wedding Venues
Shiok Kitchen Catering caters weddings across a wide range of external venues, each with its own layout and character – from the sea-view backdrop at iFly Sky Garden, Sentosa, to the industrial-chic interior of Cargo39's 4,000-square-foot warehouse, the raw-aged aesthetic of The AHAVA, and the open-air greenery of Hort Park, where the adjacent Multi-Purpose Hall offers an air-conditioned option with terrace views and stage facilities. This is exactly where the in-house wedding planner earns their keep – recommending logistics and styling that actually suit a warehouse venue versus an open-air lawn, rather than applying the same setup regardless of location.
The team's passionate wedding consultants work across a genuinely wide cuisine range too, including Thai, Asian, Western, and international menus, so the planning support extends to matching the food style to the venue and theme, not just the florals and table settings.
What "Wedding-Ready" Actually Means
Put together, "wedding-ready" for Shiok Kitchen Catering means more than a halal-certified menu, though that's the baseline. It means a planner who can point couples toward a suitable venue, coordinate florals and table styling to match a theme, source invitations and favours, and do this reliably across 10 or more weddings every month. For couples juggling a long list of decisions, having that support built into the catering relationship – rather than needing a separate wedding planner on top of a separate caterer – removes a genuine layer of coordination.
