Booked for Wedding

The lads did a great job for our night, everyone had positive things to say about them. They were punctual with time, the set up looked good, they got along well with the guests, drinks tasted really nice and were reasonably priced. Can't fault them at all! Thank you, the bar was amazing!

What a lovely, lovely evening! The food was amazing, the service was incredible with cooking and washing up totally done. Very pleased. Highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

Ed was wonderful from the start, reaching out to make sure everything was fine, and agreeing without any issue to do the main dish as well as a pescatarian option. He was very pleasant to have around, and remained very professional while being approachable and friendly. The food was, I must say, better than I expected - really delicious in fact and everybody loved it; and served in very generous portions. The fact I literally didn't have to do anything at all was absolutely fantastic - Ed, after asking permission to open my cupboards, laid the table, prepared the food, introduced and served each dish, took the plates away and put them in the dishwasher and left the kitchen clean and tidy. Overall, a fantastic service by a very nice chef, great food and the gift of a relaxing evening spent with my family instead of in the kitchen.

Booked for Birthday party

Great service from initial booking, discussions with Katarina re menus, etc, setting everything up on the day and then clearing up after the event. Several guests said the margarita cocktails were the best they had ever had! The BBQ food was all fantastic and generous portions. The three staff were prompt, super helpful and really polite with great suggestions re timings, drinks, etc. Everything was cleaned up beautifully as well. Would definitely use Ipanema Events again and happily recommend them.
