Testimonials
Cases of Success
The Designers Institute of New Zealand holds its Best Design Awards annually attracting 700 + attendees expecting a wonderful evening. In over a decade Austin’s have been our preferred caterers…not that we don’t request quotes from other suppliers to keep them honest J – but we always use Austin’s. The reason being is that we trust the communication (so what we expect is what we get), the service on the night is attentive and always professional, Austin’s ensure they meet every dietary requirement, and the food is always simply delicious…every year!!!
On behalf of Medical Technology Association of New Zealand (MTANZ) and the New Zealand Dental industry I would like to thank Austin’s for providing outstanding catering and service at our recent Expo held at the Viaduct Events Centre.
Austin’s have a reputation for superb catering and we were certainly not let down. Dental Expo has very specific catering requirements for the evening function which attracts approximately 800 guests over the course of the evening. As the majority of guests were already on site enjoying the Expo, the challenge was to seamlessly tray serve the drinks and canapés throughout the exhibition hall. Austin’s planning and execution was spot on, the staff were professional and by all accounts Austin’s far exceeded our expectations.
We have had positive feedback from the sponsor, industry and Expo attendees and they are not an easy clientele to please, so well done.
On a more personal note I would like to say thank you for being so supportive and offering your industry knowledge throughout the relatively long planning process — you have been a joy to work with.
Well done again and I look forward to continuing our association for future events.
