The Dawsons Story “Our creative flair, unrivalled experience, consistent high standards and extraordinary attention to detail are at your service. Expect the best.” Grahame Dawson Established in 1994 by Grahame Dawson, a highly-regarded and experienced chef, Dawsons has evolved from a boutique catering kitchen into Auckland’s most respected hospitality company. We collaborate with corporate and private clients and event companies to produce anything from an intimate dinner party for a handful of guests to a banquet for hundreds. Our people have mastered the ‘art of events’ at every level, from planning and venue choice to cuisine, music, lighting, sound and entertainment. The Dawsons team work together like a highly-practiced orchestra. Each player contributes talents and skills that together enable us to reliably deliver an outstanding outcome. Our culture has the warm feeling of a family that nurtures talent and celebrates excellence. Dawsons’ guiding philosophy is simple: Impeccable service, fabulous presentation and quality product. In our business you’re only as good as your last event, so every task - no matter how small - gets our undivided attention.
