Keeley Orlandi16 Sep 2025

Booked for Birthday party

Fabulous, everything was perfect. Was a little concerned about the vegetarian food and the age group if our guests (80th birthday!) but everyone loved it.

Terri Mammatt31 Aug 2025

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Kaz’s crepe stand was a huge hit at our son’s celebration. The crepes are delicious! They are made fresh in front of you with great ingredients. Kaz’s communication through the booking process was great and explained everything ahead of time. Even on the day, he communicated with arrival times which made our event flow. He arrives and unpacks everything he requires, as well as tidy everything away - taking the hassle of clean up after the party. He is exceptional for value for money and would highly recommend him for any event. I know I will always have him in mind in the future. Thankyou Kaz!

Isabel Kelly28 Jun 2020

Booked for Birthday party

We were really impressed with the afternoon tea we received. All the food was delicious, particularly the brownie! They were happy to adapt to take into account my dietary requirements. I would definitely recommend them!

Connie31 Dec 2018

Booked for Wedding

Would recommend! They handled everything, including all the stuff i didn't know i needed. Lots of quick, easy communication in the run up to my event and they needed very little input from me to deliver their 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.
