Our Story.
Quality without compromise - that is the philosophy on which SSC Hospitality Experiences (formerly Sarah Searancke Catering) was founded upon over 25 years ago and is still very much the backbone of our current operation. Quality in the food and bevarge we provide and quality in the advice and events we deliver.
The vision for delivering outstanding events propelled our company into one of Wellington’s leading event delivery operations - all the while sustaining the personal, genuine, boutique-style service that is SSC’s hallmark.
Today, SSC remains an agile team dedicated service providers. Each and every day we curate some of the most amazing and largest event experiences in the Wellington region.
