Flying Woks Weddings & Private Functions: A Culinary Experience Beyond Catering

Weddings and private celebrations are milestones that deserve more than just catering — they deserve a culinary experience that lingers in memory long after the last plate is cleared. At Flying Woks, we specialise in transforming these occasions into unforgettable moments with live wok and paella theatre. From the sizzle of fresh stir-fries to the aroma of saffron rice simmering in giant pans, our team brings flavour, theatre, and flawless service to every event. With over 20 years of expertise, we pride ourselves on making your celebration not only seamless, but truly extraordinary.

Setting the Scene for Memorable Occasions

Weddings and private functions deserve more than food — they deserve an experience that sets the tone for the entire celebration. At Flying Woks, our mission is to transform meals into memories. From the moment our chefs set up their live stations, guests are drawn into an atmosphere of theatre and excitement. The sizzling sounds, rich aromas, and vibrant colours of fresh ingredients create an engaging backdrop that builds anticipation. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand wedding reception, Flying Woks ensures that the dining experience matches the elegance and significance of your event.

A Menu Designed for Everyone

Every wedding and private function brings together people with different tastes and dietary requirements. That’s why our menus are designed to be versatile and inclusive. From seafood paella bursting with prawns, calamari, and mussels, to Moroccan tagines rich with lamb and spices, to Thai stir-fries packed with fresh vegetables, there’s something for every palate. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal options are seamlessly integrated into the menu. Guests don’t just feel accommodated — they feel valued. By offering variety without compromising on quality, Flying Woks ensures that every plate delivered contributes to the joy and inclusivity of the occasion.

Anton’s Point of View

As the founder, I often reflect on how Flying Woks grew from a simple idea into a cornerstone of Melbourne’s catering scene. For me, weddings and private functions are personal. They are moments of joy, milestones in life, and opportunities to bring people together. I see our role not just as caterers but as memory-makers. Every sizzling wok, every steaming paella pan, is part of someone’s story. I’m proud that Flying Woks has become synonymous with theatre, flavour, and connection. For over 20 years, it has been my honour to share in the celebrations of so many families.
