Why people use HOMETAINMENT
Chef Jacob did an outstanding job. He is brilliant at communicating and I requested all vegan dinner. We discussed my expectations, preferences etc and he sent a menu proposal from which I selected my choices. He delivered stunning food that wowed the crowd. He is talented and extremely personable, so a real asset to your portfolio.
Amazing evening thanks to Chef Jessie. Her cooking is fresh and fabulous, beautifully presented, and it was fun to learn more about CBD oils. Last but not least she has a shining personality. I will be sure to hire her again.
The perfect evening thanks to the amazing chefs and team at Hometainment👏👏👏👏 Chef Marco’s sushi bar and canapés were simply delicious and the experience seamless!! We loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our wine discovery experience with Fleur. Not only were the wines were delicious, but Fleur helped us understand exactly what we liked about each wine. From tasting notes to advice on food pairings, Fleur broke down the complex world of wine into a very engaging, digestible course, and we left feeling much more confident about our personal tastes and how to navigate a wine list!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for the immense teamwork and collaboration on Kristina & Nick's wedding day, It all ran like absolute clockwork, and you were all so wonderful to work with. I think it's safe to say they had the best weekend of their life which is what we are all aiming for!
It was great! I'm looking forward to trying out the suggestions from Fleur. And also the pairings with cheeses was so good! I'm glad I attended!
This has truly been the most exceptional entertainment experience I've ever had the pleasure of booking! I arranged a Cognac tasting and a Rum tasting for my husband's birthday, and every aspect of the experience, from the initial booking to the presence of our skilled bartender, David, exceeded our expectations. David not only delivered the finest drinks but also shared his profound knowledge of the beverages, leaving us thoroughly impressed. We also opted for the chef experience, which was nothing short of spectacular. The food was exquisite, and the overall experience felt truly luxurious. Throughout the entire process, Antoine, who assisted us via the website, was exceptionally helpful. He responded promptly to every message and accommodated all our requests with grace. I wholeheartedly recommend this service for any event, and without a doubt, I will be booking the chef and expert bartender services again in the future!
Dominique and team curated a sensational event, ensuring every detail was fine tuned, service was impeccable. Guests had only positive feedback on the oysters, caviar and service. The team were very warm and attentive. Could not recommend enough and thank you!
