Having David was.a great addition to the party. All the guests loved the cocktails (they were also pretty strong!) and their drinks were kept topped up throughout the evening with no waiting around. He was a lovely. guy to have as part of the evening and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
We used the Hometainment team for a wedding anniversary dinner for my parents. As it happened the chef they had selected was ill at the very last minute, but the team found a fantastic replacement at the last minute. Chef Ory was exceptional - flawless food and made the evening for my parents. It can’t have been easy for the Hometainment team to sort a last minute replacement which would give me more confidence to use them again in future.
Derrick, our mixologist from Hometainment, was absolutely outstanding. His professionalism and assistance during the event planning phase were highly commendable. On the night of the event, Derrick's "can-do" attitude was infectious, setting a fantastic atmosphere for the party. Having a bar with his expertise and the array of amazing cocktails he served added immensely to the party's overall appeal. It was a hit with all the guests, and without a doubt, I will be booking another home visit experience through Hometainment in the future. Derrick's contribution truly made the event memorable.
Just to say an incredible thank you to Crystal-Lee and Derrick. They went above and beyond for me yesterday. We were all so happy!

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!
Due to a change in plans we made the booking 4 hours before our company event, and Hometainment's support team along with Mattia were exceptionally speedy and professional. Mattia took control of our bar, and immediately suggested cocktails and contributed well to the vibe of our party. Mattia's mixing style was sharp and impeccable, and he stayed on for an additional 30min to help serve drinks for our evening to go on. A huge thank you from us!
Hired excellent helpers, all very efficient. Great experience. Thank you
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!
