Booked for Corporate Function

Jo was wonderful and easy to work with. Communication was smooth, straightforward, and responsive throughout the planning process. The ice cream was absolutely delicious and a huge hit with our guests. On the day of the event, Jo arrived on time, was fully self-sufficient, and handled everything professionally and efficiently. She ensured a seamless service experience and provided clear information about ingredients, which was greatly appreciated by attendees with dietary considerations. Overall, the combination of excellent communication, reliable service, and fantastic ice cream made this vendor a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend Jo for corporate or private events.
