Summer wedding at Wrest Park

We had Rosie and the team for all 500 of our guests. They covered all of our welcome drinks, drinks throughout the day. Which included bespoke welcome drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, they were brilliant and a crowd pleaser. Rosie and the team served drinks from fresh pimms, larger and cider on tap. Everyone loved these. Amazing team, they were professionals, leaders, worked well under pressure (because our guests kept them busy in the heat) they were clean, prompt and just fantastic, I never had to worry about drinks which sounds wild, but for an Asian event, in the summer drinks were literally ongoing all the time. They will always cater our parties that we will hold moving forward. They absolutely smashed it.
