WE LOVE OUR CLIENTS, AND THEY LOVE US!

WEDDINGS

“We cannot thank the entire team at Ultimo enough for their incredible service. We were told it was going to be good, but we never expected how good! Our wedding venue was cancelled on us the night prior to our wedding due to Covid-19 restrictions being implemented (no fault of Ultimo’s). Ultimo assisted us in a short 12 hour period to completely relocate and redesign our wedding. To say it was executed flawlessly is an understatement. We were so so happy with their service and everything went perfectly on the night. From the setting-up, to the food served, to the drink service, to the pack down – it was all perfect. Huge thank you to the entire team, but an extra special thank you to Hollie – she was amazing throughout the entire experience. We cannot thank Ultimo enough and look forward to using them again for future events. Would recommend the team to anyone in a heartbeat! – Kyle Moss

Ultimo catered our wedding in April 2021 and what an amazing experience it was! The food was absolutely delicious, so generously portioned and all dietary’s perfectly catered for. Hollie our on-the-day coordinator was absolutely incredible! Hollie was so prompt in replying to my emails and was so well organised with meticulous attention to every detail. All the waitstaff were so attentive and polite. Could not recommend Ultimo highly enough, thank you all so much. – Jordan Langham

Peter and the team at Ultimo are amazing! Peter has been so supportive and someone you want in your corner when a pandemic interrupts your wedding plans. He went above and beyond helping us through what has been a very difficult and stressful time. The food is amazing and to cater to a full gluten-free menu for us was no trouble and always came with a positive can-do approach. As they have been in the industry for some time, their knowledge and connections to other suppliers has been invaluable. Thank you Peter for all your help and hope we will be able to engage Ultimo in the future. – Melanie Hobday

‘Thank you so much for everything you have done in the lead up and on the night. I had multiple people comment to me on how delicious the food was, how professional and friendly the staff were and how nobody was left wanting for anything. In particular I had a lot of people tell me ‘the lady in the blue shirt who looked like she was in charge’ was so lovely and made sure that everyone was happy! I was always hunted down to make sure I had at least been offered something of everything that came out and on occasion even had staff bring some sparkling water which was extremely appreciated! I also want to thank you for that extremely generous gesture re the extension of drinks. We have already recommended Ultimo and in particular you to multiple friends who are in the process of planning their own weddings. Thanks again for everything’ – Kaitlyn Green

‘The only feedback I have for you and Ultimo is that everything was perfect and brilliant. From the very first contact with Ultimo we felt we were in good hands. Everyone I dealt with was helpful and responsive. Once we had met you that night you came up to Currambine everyone was calm and relaxed as we were confident that we were in the hands of true professionals.

On the night I think the best thing I can say about the service was that we didn’t even notice it was happening – drinks and food just appeared at exactly the right time. I particularly appreciated the way you made an effort to find me and bring water at one point. Everyone has commented on how delicious all the dishes were – the food was a real highlight for us and our guests. I was also very happy with how much food there was, I was stuffed to the brim and I don’t believe anyone went hungry so your guidance there was spot on. All the staff were friendly and approachable, and the people for whom special dishes were prepared were very appreciative of the efforts to cater for them and then for the wait staff to make a special effort to find them.

I honestly can’t think of any suggestions for improvement. Thank you again for the huge part you played in making the day run smoothly, you were an absolute pleasure to deal with’ – Jessica Berry 

‘We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the Ultimo team for the amazing job you did at our wedding this weekend in York. Brendan and I heard nothing but praises from our guests about the food and staff. The food was amazing. The mains were delicious and exactly as we had tried at the tasting. As were the desserts and you were right about the Persian fairy floss…yum! People were raving about that lamb cutlet! The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. Our guests were never waiting for drinks as the staff were always on top of things, they even kept the last bottle of pink sparkling aside for me so I didn’t go without. To you personally thank you for all the time you spent going back and forth with me to make sure things were perfect on the day. Nothing was too much trouble and you were an absolute pleasure to work with. Your presence on the day was also appreciated. Overall we were really impressed and will definitely recommend Ultimo. Thank you again and all the best for your upcoming events’ – Natasha and Brendan Muir 

‘Wow! You not only made our entire wedding the best day of our lives, but had everyone raving about how lovely you and the whole Ultimo team were the next day. Tony was definitely a stand out of the night, as were the chefs who personally sought out Jamie to shake his hand! All the staff were so friendly, helpful and just felt like part of the family by the end of the night.

Thank you for all your hard work and organisation skills from our first meeting right up until leaving on Saturday night – it was really 6 star service. Now we just need to come up with another reason to host a party so that we can have you back a second time!’ – Jamie and Fleur Noble

‘A big thank you must go out to Ultimo for the great food and service at our wedding, we have had a massive influx of feedback from our friends and family on how awesome the food and service was! And I personally was impressed by the staff’s service and for looking after us (Jen and me). You guys were great, we had an absolute blast!’ – Jennifer & Mark Kinyard 

‘We had a magical wedding reception thanks to Ultimo!  We were blown away by the extraordinary food and super friendly service. It truly exceeded our expectations. We were a bit daunted by designing the menu, but Clark understood what we wanted and he just led us toward a superb combination of flavors.  The staff went above and beyond for us and our guests and many have since commented on how impressed they were.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the best day of our lives’ – Claire Naylor

‘Thank you for helping to create our dream wedding. Choosing to hold our wedding in a marquee at my parent’s home meant we had total control of the styling and ambiance of our wedding. Ultimo’s professional service made for a stress-free evening – we wanted it untroubled and relaxed and Ultimo’s expertise ensured every box was ticked. They were totally flexible – we basically made up a whole new menu – and the food was excellent quality.  We had a ball because we had our wedding exactly the way we wanted it’ – Hannah & Antony Lalor 

‘We were very happy with the service and quality of the food. My matron of honour made special mention of you taking our food to keep warm while we were off doing something or another. Thanks heaps for everything and for also helping keep my stress levels at bay. We couldn’t have had a more perfect day’ – Recsha & Jason Connell 

‘Jason and I cannot be happier with the service we received from Ultimo, the food was exceptional and the waitstaff that evening were extremely attentive and prompt with any requests they received from the guests. Many many of our friends and family were very impressed and wanted to know who we hired, we are so chuffed. It was truly a wonderful day and thank you for helping us make it perfect’ – Jasmine & Jason

PRIVATE EVENTS

I organised to have Ultimo do the catering for my birthday party at home and they certainly delivered. I always got prompt responses from Vanessa who was very professional, approachable and patient. The staff who turned up on the day, Chef Lisa and Head Waitress Sophie were both very friendly, helpful and good at their job. Nothing was too much trouble. We had canapes which might as well have been a degustation experience. The food was exquisite and of good quality. The service was exceptional – something that is quite rare in Perth these days. Thanks to Ultimo, my evening was stress-free and elegant. My guests were impressed and I received so many comments about the delicious food. Thanks Ultimo! – Marie Nankoo

I contacted Ultimo the week of my event and they very quickly got back to me and were able to do the catering. I was very pleased when the staff member arrived and set up everything. I didn’t have to do a thing :). The staff member was professional, helpful and a lovely person to boot. Many of my guests told me how good they thought the food was. Thanks Ultimo for your service and quality and attention to detail. – Deb Thompson

CORPORATE CHRISTMAS PARTIES 

Ultimo have been providing corporate catering services to our organisation and every experience has exceeded expectations. Fresh, healthy and tasty catering options with quality service from their function coordinators, chef team and service staff. Could not recommend them highly enough! – Tania Papalia 

‘I just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the Ultimo Team for all your work in the lead up as well as on the night. I can not recommend the Ultimo company enough. Not only did you and the team make the organising an absolute breeze, the detail and professionalism on the night by all staff was nothing short of superb! Nothing was ever too much trouble  – from taking care of the ticket sales and providing regular updates, to even extending the event on the night when the CEO made the request at 9.50pm (10 mins before it was meant to close)– even meeting the last minute request of having a lectern and stand alone mic for speeches!! The Ultimo customer service really is above and beyond. I had numerous emails flooding my inbox on Friday from staff raving about what a great night it was! The layout was fantastic for our size group (roughly 300ish I believe) as there was plenty of room to move without the place feeling empty. Both the drinks and food menus were fab – so many people made the comment of how fast the service was. We had a very challenging budget to work with, and what you were able to provide for that budget was absolutely incredible’ – Freya Barsby, Calibre Group

When the staff tell you it’s “the best Christmas party we’ve ever had” you know you’re on a winner.  The marquee at Ozone was a lovely spot …perfect for our Carnival Theme staff party on the Saturday evening followed by our Kids Carnival on Sunday.  The variety of food was spot on and the quality and quantity was, as always, outstanding.  The wait staff were extremely attentive, helpful and friendly – they went above and beyond what was expected. Thanks Ultimo for your highly professional delivery across every aspect of our two functions’ – Ausdrill 

Thermomix Event

‘I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to yourself and the team at Ultimo Catering for the efforts involved in our annual event – ThermoFest. The feedback has been amazing and some of the ladies that have attended a few of these events have said they felt it was the best yet. The set up and execution of our Taste of WA event was brilliant.  Right from the start, you took on board our ideas and thoughts about what we wanted to create and then compiled them with your own to make it such an incredible evening.

The wait staff were friendly and accommodating and the set up with the different areas for drinks & beverages. It was not easy catering for our group of special dietary requirements/preferences and we appreciate the thought and effort that went into creating the menus and food items to cater for our group in such an appealing and delicious way – apparently the snapper was the most amazing dish at the Taste of WA. A truly professional team!’

Walsh Private Party 

‘Thank you for the excellent catering you provided for my 50^th function.  Tony, the function manager was superb.  I cannot say enough good things about him.  He was extremely professional, non-obtrusive and did an outstanding job of looking after the guests and making sure they were well fed and the drink coolers from which they were helping themselves, well stocked.  He even turned up early and assisted in any way he could with set up.  The food was absolutely delicious as well, and the chef did a brilliant job in preparing the many wonderful treats that came out.  Ultimo made an impression with the guests very early on, which only grew as the evening progressed.  I think every guest commented on the excellent food and service provided by the caterers, many several times and some people I have seen since are still commenting on it.  What more can I say, other than thank you, both may husband and I were extremely pleased with how the evening went’

She was not just wonderful with how she went about doing her job but her friendliness and her mannerism was exceptional. Please do pass on my thanks to her’ Ayesha

‘Many thanks to the Ultimo team for making such a sad time just that little bit easier for my family and I. The wake menus are a fantastic idea, it just meant that there was one less thing to worry about, so my time and energy could be spent with my family.  Your care and attention to detail was much appreciated, many thanks’ Andrea Bayes
