Had a wonderful session with Ekta, very calming and friendly atmosphere and the process I very much enjoyed, which helped me to relax, and taught me how observe my mind. The final completed Mandala is beautiful and I find it will hold meaning on this current period in my life - love the class and highly recommend!
Just used Hometainment to book a photographer and bartender for our anniversary party. Service was brilliant, found amazing professionals with less than a weeks notice. Easy to deal with, all on point! I’ll definitely be using hometainment for all future events
We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours
Such a beautiful and meditative practice. The simplicity taught me so much about my inner world. I had no idea that so much could be expressed through simple drawings. It was amazing with Ekta

I booked DJ Sasha for our work christmas party and she was the star of the show. She played great music, changing to fit as the night went on and her sax playing was incredible. It was a great surprise for guests and they are still talking about it days later. Thank you Otto for all your help organising and making it so easy to plan.
Having asked Mimi to cook and prepare my post solo show supper party I felt completely relaxed and trusted her expert choices and decisions in what we might like to eat. We all appeared from the gallery to a feast of food... it was beautifully presented and completely delicious. Her unusual salads, cottage pie and mouth watering brownies vanished. Her professionalism, style and attention to detail was exceptional and Mimi was always there with a smile.
Coco and all the kiddies LOVED them - and it was so lovely to see even the most shy of her friends joining in and having fun
Had a really lovely time, very chilled and enjoyable. The instructions were clear and given step by step and we were able to adapt the pattern to our own preferences
