Good morning team!

I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Loretta and her team for catering our event on Wednesday evening.

From initial concept to event delivery, Loretta was professional and accommodating to all of our requests (and there were many 😉). Dietary requirements and unavoidable minute changes were dealt with quickly, and without fuss.

It was a busy night with nearly 600 guests, but the food was amazing and was delivered as quickly as possible. A huge thanks to the chefs - what they were able to plate from an “unconventional kitchen” was incredible!

Thank you, Loretta - your hard work and smile when things were hectic were so appreciated on what is always a busy (stressful!) night. Thank you so much - I look forward to working with you all again in the future
Huge thanks to Michels Catering and Events for making our 2024 school formal an incredible night!

The event ran smoothly from start to finish thanks to their expert planning. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with options to suit everyone. The bar service was top-notch, with friendly staff adding to the fun atmosphere.

Everything was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring it all together. Highly recommend Michels for any event!
A massive shoutout to Michels Catering and Events for making our school formal absolutely amazing!

The team handled everything effortlessly – from organising the night to serving incredible food and running a fantastic bar. Their staff were super friendly, and nothing was too much trouble.

Thanks for helping us create such a memorable evening.
