Meet the Chef · Our Story
Hi, I'm Merium
I'm a chef who has been passionate about food all my life. Some of my most cherished memories are creating recipes and baking in my kitchen with my kids.
Tulips & Tarts began as a vision built on that passion: pouring our hearts into recipes made with high-quality, fully halal ingredients, and growing into a love for pairing them with creative styling and floral tablescapes to bring our clients' visions to life. My goal is simple: take the stress of hosting off your plate and bring your table to life from start to finish.
- 100% halal, always: every ingredient, including all meat. No exceptions.
- Styled, not just served: grazing tables designed to wow.
- Fully custom: menus, colors and themes built around your event.
