About Small Plates and Company

Small Plates & Co.

Founder

A wedding cookbook made by the guests. Each person submits one recipe from their phone — takes 5 minutes. We collect everything, design the book, and deliver a professional hardcover ready to gift. Nothing for the couple or organizer to manage. The result: a book with 40, 60, sometimes 80 recipes from the actual people in the room. Their names on the pages. Their food in the couple's kitchen. For years.

We hate forgettable gifts. The kind that get opened once, politely thanked for, and then disappear into a closet. This one ends up in the kitchen. Pages get stained. Corners bend. It gets opened on a random Tuesday night when someone wants to cook something that feels like home. We built Small Plates because we think the people who show up for you deserve to stay present — not just on the wedding day, but in everything that comes after.

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Fun

    Memorable Gift for the People you Love

    Working with Small Plates and Company was such a breeze from start to finish. Their team communicated with us in a way that felt genuine and thoughtful. The gift they created for us turned out to be one of our favorite wedding presents ever, it was truly special and so well-made. What really struck us was how the personal touches from our loved ones made the whole thing meaningful in a way we'll treasure forever. We can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for a wedding gift that feels genuine and heartfelt.

    Incredible gift

    This is genuinely one of the best and most thoughtful gifts my partner and I have ever received. The book is stunning and of great quality. Our friends who uploaded the recipes all said that the Small Plates process was seamless and super easy. I felt so loved and cared for looking though the recipes my loved ones wrote, best feeling ever. Thank you Small Plates!

    This was my favorite wedding gift!

    A friend of mine gave me this for my wedding, and it was an absolutely moving and thoughtful gift!! She invited my family, my in-laws, and our friends to collaborate, and each recipe includes a personal note. Seeing everyone I love in one book made it incredibly special. It was completely different from any gift I had ever received. It meant so much to me that now I am organizing one for a friend of mine.
