Hi, it’s Marissa here, owner of The Candy Buffet Company – we’re turning 15!
15 years! Wow, time flies when you’re having fun and I can honestly say that the past 15 years have brought me so much joy.
The past 15 years have been some of the best years of my life. Right now, I’m sitting at my office, on the brink of a relaunch for The Candy Buffet Company, and before we celebrate that, I wanted to honour the past and thank you for being a part of our history, as we look forward to a sweet future.
Where to start the story, when the story doesn’t start with me?
Let’s take it back to November 2011. That was my introduction to The Candy Buffet Company. My florist, Karina from Style By Nature in Port Melbourne (stylebynature.com. au) introduced me to her friends who had this incredible business that they had started the year before. Karina knew that I had just quit my long term career in events, and I was looking for a new challenge. I interviewed for the position as Events Manager at The Candy Buffet Company, and my career began.

It was a whirlwind first 6 years, expanding the business to service all over Australia; working with some of the world’s biggest Brands, some of Australia’s iconic Brands, many smaller and exciting clients and events, Bridal Expos, concerts, TV shows and of course, Christmas parties.
Then the opportunity presented itself to purchase the business that I loved. It really was not a hard decision – and so, on Halloween, 2017, I became the proud owner of The Candy Buffet Company.
We’ve had many talented people come through these doors, from great staff, to incredible stylists (most still with us to this day) and an exciting and diverse range of clients. It has been a wonderful honour and pleasure each and every day to be able to work on styling candy buffet, donut walls, and personalised gifts for your events.
In the lead up to our rebranding (coming soon!!) I’ll be taking you on a weekly journey on some of the incredible and delicious events that we have styled from 2010 to 2025 – so many to choose from!
Thank you for being part of our history and journey. If you thought we were delicious before, just wait!
Sweet regards, Marissa
