They have a great range of products that are not available elsewhere and can manufacture specific pieces in large quantities, as they did for a particular dinner we organised in June this year.

Seamless...

A huge THANK YOU to everyone for yesterday’s effort… The execution was seamless and I’ve been receiving fantastic feedback from attendees today, as well as the building Owners and Management Team. There were a lot of people who contributed to the event, from the staff and chef’s from each restaurant to the team at Equiem & the Rialto Concierge Team, so again… thank you to everyone who made the event such a success. We’re so lucky to have such a talented group of people to work with and I look forward to the next event!
