City Beach SLSC Wedding

Rachel + Matt were recently married at Ultimo’s brand new exclusive venue the City Beach Surf Life Saving Club on the 10th of December 2016. Rachel and Matt met at Mid Kent College in the UK when they were both 18. After a long while of dating the couple decided it was time to make a change and move to Perth where Matt was originally from.

A year after living in Perth Rachel’s parents were in town for their first visit. Matt had arranged what Rachel thought was a day trip to Rottnest however later found out Matt had booked for them to stay at Rottnest for the night even calling Rachel’s boss to arrange for her to have the Monday off work. Following a day of snorkeling, bike riding and exploring the island Matt took Rachel for an evening bike ride and once at the top of a beautiful cove edge overlooking one of the beautiful bays of Rottnest Island Matt got down on one knee at sunset and proposed. Rachel and Matt then return to the hotel to celebrate with Rachel’s parents over a champagne dinner.

The Ceremony

Everything that Rachel and Matt could have dreamed for – their ideal setting a beautiful summer’s day overlooking the ocean. Rachel and Matt love the beach life style having moved from the UK to Perth they love the outside life style and are always at the beach. Matt was fishing at City Beach when he first saw the venue and said – I found our venue! For them the wedding was always going to be a beach side location and when Rachel saw the rooftop setting at the City Beach Surf Club they knew this was the location for the big day. As Rachel is from the UK they had over 20 guests attending from overseas along with guests from the East Coast and closer to home here and Perth and all were mesmerized by the view and unique setting.

Rachel’s Tips for other brides

Enjoy the planning stages – do not let the Wedding become bigger than it is … remember what the day is all about, marrying your best friend!

Trust the professional – let them take away the stress of planning, share your vision and let them deliver.

Think about exactly what you both want from your day – the atmosphere you want to set and make sure your day represents you both not what you think the day should be!

Make sure you have fun and enjoy every moment – it truly is the best day of your life!

The Special Touches

To create the ultimate beach wedding we added a Gelato Cart during pre-dinner drinks which was a hit with our guests. Along with an acoustic duo to set the mood and delicious canapés and signature cocktails for our guests to enjoy. Rachel and Matt felt extremely special to be the first ever wedding on the rooftop of the surf club and reception in the surf club.

The Cocktails

Pomegranate + Rosemary Gin Fizz – Tanqueray Gin, pomegranate juice, rosemary sugar syrup, lemon juice, soda

Autumn Absolut Gimlet – Absolut vodka, fresh lime juice, marmalade, basil leaves & soda

Congratulations,  Rachel + Matt we’re so glad we were able to cater your special day.

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 flavours.  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.

Ultimo has taken over all of The Rural Agricultural Society’s catering since 200, including the Perth Royal Show. The level of professionalism and quality of food they have brought to our organisation has been excellent.  Their timely and friendly presentation of service has been exceptional over the years.  The RAS entertains a cross section of high-profile individuals including foreign diplomats, politicians, the Governor of Western Australia and a selection of VIPs who have all commented on the quality of food and service provided.  I highly recommend Ultimo to organise any function or event, large or small.

Wake venues

I have to commend Ultimo on their great food and service. I specifically requested the afternoon to not be a sad time but more of a celebration, and that really filtered through on the day. From the staff’s friendly attitude to the venues they were able to recommend; all located 5 minutes from the cemetery, the wake couldn’t have run more smoothly. Thanks again

I have been a corporate business customer of Ultimo Catering for over 2 years now. Ultimo have always been extremely helpful and timely with their service. Ultimo are never late for delivery, and always happy to take on last minute orders, and changes at our request which is fantastic for us as we are usually extremely busy. I have recommended Ultimo to other professionals for their corporate events as the quality and service is always consistent and never disappoints.

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

Menus Sandwiches

Thanks so much for Friday. The food was beautiful, plenty of it and on time. Normally sandwiches aren’t something guests rave about, but wow we had some outstanding comments! Several people also mentioned that we have raised the bar with this conference and that was due solely to the food provided. So, as far as feedback goes the whole thing was perfect. The young delivery man was extremely pleasant and went all out to do anything to help. Thanks again and will call on you for future events. All the best.

Thank you to Ultimo Catering 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.

Ultimo catered backstage for our festival in 2011 and 2012. I was very happy with the level of professionalism from our initial contact right through until show day. The food and service was excellent, all the staff and artists raved to me about me about the quality. We'll use Ultimo for all our events in the future. With them we are assured quality and service and its one less thing to stress about when you have a show to run."

Event Pod Thank you for the event of Friday - it really was outstanding. I have had several people who attend lots of corporate events say to me that "That was the best event I have attended in at least the last 5 years" So thank you! The attention to detail of the whole day, from breakfast at registration to the superb lunch, the events themselves and finally the awards at the end was exemplary. Normally as the person who has signed the event off, I spend the day worrying if it will be a success, but this was one of those rare events when I could submerse myself in the day and enjoy it, knowing that you had everything covered. A brilliant day, one that shall be long talked about!

Fortescue Metals Group Ultimo Catering planned our end of year Christmas functions in 2010 and 2011.  They organised every aspect of the event including the location, marquee, logistics, styling, entertainment, staff, food and beverages. Holding outdoor functions for numbers of 4,000 is not easy but Ultimo do so with ease. The food is always creative and well received and their staff are always friendly and attentive. We always receive fantastic feedback from guests and are more than happy to recommend their services

Occasions Marquees

Our 2013 Christmas function was very successful and this had a lot to do with Ultimo and the marquee they organised at Ozone Reserve. They took care of the logistics, great food and drink package and supplied friendly staff. There certainly was a wow factor with the design and layout of the marquee. Clark was a delight to deal with and certainly made my job a lot easier! We would be very happy to recommend Ultimo and would have no hesitation in using Ultimo again, not only for Christmas functions but other events during the year.

Ultimo Catering is a favourite with our staff and clients. The On - Demand catering menu is top quality and always well presented. Attention to detail means our orders are delivered directly to our catering kitchen and sometimes even put into the fridge! Their two hour minimum order time makes catering for last minute meetings stress free. We know that if we order with Ultimo we have lots of yummy options and we will never be disappointed.”

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 organizing 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
