Hi! My name is Danielle, owner and operator of Love Lord Howe.
I moved to Lord Howe Island with my family in 2013 and was instantly captivated by the beauty of this incredible island and its close knit community. While I missed the convenience of mainland services, I quickly found inspiration in the lifestyle and opportunities here.
With both of my children now attending the local primary school, I created Love Lord Howe to enhance the experience for visitors to our beautiful island — while also supporting other local mums with flexible work opportunities.
Love Lord Howe Picnics and Platters launched in late 2021, offering personalised outdoor catering experiences that quickly became a ‘must do’ on Lord Howe. What started as a simple idea has grown into a full time venture that not only allows me to work around my family but also gives other island mothers the same flexibility.
Today, Love Lord Howe doesn’t just offer decadent Island Picnics — we regularly plan and manage weddings, events, conferences and assist with visiting tour groups. We love working with all different types of visitors to find catering and event management solutions that showcase the best of Lord Howe Island.
Our work has been recognised at both state and national levels — we’re proud to have won Gold at the 2023 and 2024 NSW Tourism Awards, Gold at the 2023 Australian Tourism Awards, and Silver at the 2024 Australian Tourism Awards for Excellence in Food Tourism.
If you’re planning a trip to Lord Howe, you’re in for something truly special. I can’t wait to welcome you and help make your island experience unforgettable!
Happy holidaying,
Danielle xx
