Reviews for Black Jacket Events

Excellent wedding food!

We picked Black Jacket Events to be our caterers for our wedding at Vaulty Manor and we are so glad we did! Hannah did an amazing job leading up the big day, we booked quite far in advance and along the way changed our mind about what we would serve as evening food, black jackets allowed us to change & customise the buffet to suit us which on the day went down brilliantly.

Hannah replied quickly and was so helpful. Our food tasting was absolutely delicious (defo book one of those but be prepared to be stuffed!!) On the day Kirsty and the team were brilliant, the food was cooked perfect- (we had a few comments from friends saying it was the best food they've had at a wedding!). Kirsty was so helpful going above and beyond, even putting the petals out for the ceremony!

We would 100% recommend them. Thank you for all your hard work.
