Oxford Events Company

An incredible evening - thank you! From start to finish I felt completely in safe hands. Everything looked effortless and seamless – which I know means an enormous amount of work behind the scenes – and that’s exactly what made the night so special. The team were thoughtful, calm and incredibly professional throughout. One of the staff even quietly checked in on me during the evening and rescued me with a halloumi burger around 10pm after I’d been talking so much I’d forgotten to eat – such a small gesture but hugely appreciated! So many guests commented on how delicious the food was and how smoothly everything ran. The constant clearing of glasses, the seamless serving and the quiet efficiency made such a difference. There was also a wonderful “silent assassin” who somehow kept everyone’s fizz glasses topped up without anyone noticing – pure brilliance. The cake was a lovely surprise when it appeared with candles, and the cocktails were a huge hit with everyone. And the most amazing moment was turning around at the end of the night to find my house looking as though nothing had happened. In hindsight, it genuinely feels like fate that our original venue fell through, because having the evening at home with this team made it feel so personal. It was beautifully professional but also warm and human. Thank you for allowing me to be completely hands-off and actually enjoy my own party, something I never thought would be possible hosting at home. Everyone had the most brilliant time and I would highly recommend you to friends and family.

I would highly recommend John and his team as wedding and events caterers. From the beginning of planning to the day itself John was an exceptional communicator, always responding quickly and being willing to accommodate any request however finicky, and listening carefully to provide exactly what we wanted. On the day itself the food and service were absolutely excellent and many of our guests commented on the high quality of the catering. John is calm in any circumstance, enthusiastic about good food, and a consummate professional. His team on the day were all brilliant. Thank you all!

John & Will are amazing! We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a family weekend away in a beautiful self-catering barn. They arrived Sunday morning and using unfamiliar ovens and limited resources, they created the most beautiful 3 course meal for us! The food was perfection, a wonderful mix of flavours and textures, we are all still talking about it! They worked unobtrusively and cleaned and cleared everything up to a spotless standard! All communication with John beforehand, was quickly responded to with warmth and welcome. He clearly loves what he does and his passion is to create memorable occasions for people like us! I am looking forward to celebrating with them again, and recommend them unreservedly!
