Testimonials
I want to say a huge 'Thank You!' to Olivia & the team at Balance Me for helping to cater a big family BBQ recently. We were hosting and wanted to make it easier for ourselves, so we asked Balance Me to provide the salads and sides, and we were absolutely blown away by what they created for us. Everyone commented on how absolutely delicious they were. Ordering beforehand was so easy, too. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for catering. Thanks again guys!

Testimonials
Firstly, communication and organisation were seamless! When I'm preparing for a retreat, admin can add to the stress, but Olivia made the experience easy and effortless. Secondly, the meals from Balance me were incredible! I loved how well rounded the meals were, I left every setting feel nourished as well as deeply satisfied. Sometimes healthy food just doesn't hit, but Balance me knows how to make healthy food feel and taste decadent. Furthermore, the variety of the menu was inspirational and I left the retreat wanting to buy a cookbook from you! Finally, I would 100% would use Balance Me for future event and I intend to later in the year for the next Yum retreat.

‘Olivia is a passionate plant based chef who has awesome creativity for creating ideas and building you a menu for a retreat that concentrates on what you’re looking for. I run fitness retreats so I had asked for high protein meals and Olivia listened to that and came up with a menu to suit. She delivered delicious food and was able to be a flexible with us as sometimes there are last minute schedule changes. She was able to adapt to that. I am grateful for the effort and work she put into delivering high quality and nutritious food for my guests. ‘

"I hired Olivia to cater for five days worth of lunches and dinner for a Training I was running at a private house for 12 people. She was a delight to deal with right from the beginning through calls and emails as we organised what was needed. The menu she originally submitted fit the brief perfectly, and no amendments needed to be made. Once we were on site, she was there every meal time 30 minute ahead of time to set up, finish food prep, and get everything set on the table. She cleaned up the kitchen and washed dishes afterward (which I wasn't expecting at all). Her presence and energy was energetic, joyous, and a delight to have around during meal times. She was passionate about the food, which was all delicious. Olivia made the entire experience smooth and easy. I would highly recommend hiring Balance Me for your catering job. I will definitely be using Olivia again next time I'm down in Wanaka."

Trying vegan is something I haven't really done before. With Balance Me over a period of five days, we were cooked a diverse variety of meals that were all so delicious. These meals were all very nutritious that I didn't even miss eating meat.

Balance Me catered for our retreat and I can honestly say the food was amazing! From someone that is not solely plant based, Olivia and the team made such creative and a huge variety of dishes that were all Devine! Often plant based meals I would find bland or would be searching for more after an hour but I was satisfied after every meal and found that I was fuller for longer! Olivia was able to give us all some much needed food inspo to take home with us and showed us the true diversity of colours you can eat! Cannot fault Balance Me♥️🤍

Balance Me created the most magical meals for us all during our retreat. Having not eaten plant-based before, I was very intrigued as to how I would find the food but Boy OH BOY Balance Me did not disappoint! The flavours were next level, and I couldn’t help myself from having seconds at each and every meal. The food fuelled all our activities and left both my belly and my heart very happy! The added bonus was Olivia's gorgeous personality and her pure passion for creating nutritious and delicious meals was absolutely amazing. I am going to miss the meals so much, but I have left feeling very inspired to get a lil more creative in the kitchen - Thank you so much Olivia, you’ve made an incredible impression on me and everyone else at the retreat.
