Booked for Wedding

Hired for a wedding in a venue with no license. Amy and Carl were amazing. Communication before the event was great and the whole process from booking to setting up on the day was easy. They were flexible with the setting up slot to work around our plan, including offering to set up the day before. They also set the license up with no input from us. They set up and worked with zero requirements from us which was great give the busy evening. Couldn't recommend enough.

Booked for Birthday party

I am assuming that 5 is the highest ranking... Smoulder and Scorch were formidable. Keiron was professional, organised and friendly, serving our crowd tasty burgers, pulled pork and beef brisket. Everyone commented how excellent the food was. We were very happy with the service.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
