Russell It Up Events

It was our first time getting someone from the internet and we were anxious but Martine managed to win our trust very quickly. She also used her extensive experience to guide us about what to include in the celebration of our daughter’s 21st birthday to make it much more enjoyable and memorable. She was very prompt with queries and gave detailed responses. Her team who came on the day were friendly, very competent and professional. She took away all the worry and the stress! We had an amazing party! All the guests loved it! More...

Martine and her team were excellent. The food was delicious. All my guests were delighted with the attentiveness of the staff and the professional way in which they ran the event. Would highly recommend her. She enabled me to be free to enjoy my party. More...

Martine and her crew did a wonderful job. No fuss, attentive service, lovely menu and delicious food. It was lovely being able to spend all my time enjoying being with my guests.

Martine and her team were complete professionals catering my Mother’s 70th summer party. The food was delicious, colourful, fresh and varied and everyone enjoyed it very much. The servers were very amiable and courteous. It really was a joyful experience from discussing menus to implementation of a smooth professional event and they cleaned up after themselves perfectly. Thank you! You made my Mother’s Birthday. In her own words it was her best birthday ever! More...

Had a lovely experience using this company for the first time.
The food was excellent and the variety really good. There were lots of oohs! and ahs! from the people eating this well prepared and beautifully presented food. Would certainly use again and highly recommend. More...

A great service. Martine and James prepared, served and cleared.
Food was just what we wanted too.
Lovely attitude.

Thank you so much for your kind words

Martine at Russell It Up Events provided the catering at my mother's wake. The whole process was very smooth right from my initial enquiry through to the delivery of the food on the day itself. Martine is friendly and professional and was able to advise and guide me on my choices, and catered for the varied dietary requirements of our guests. She thought of details I hadn't considered. I'm delighted that we used Russell It Up Events, and the food was very well received by guests on the day - when you are organising a funeral, knowing that you have a good, reputable caterer on board leaves you free to concentrate on the funeral itself.

Thank you so much we are so pleased that you were happy with our service

Martine has been fantastically helpful. Quick to respond initially, both by phone to discuss and then to quote. We are on a very strict budget so sadly we are not proceeding, but she has still offered to help on a much more limited basis if needed. Definitely worth contacting!

Martine catered for our drinks and canapés Xmas party and she and her team were wonderful - great food, pleasant service and cleaned up before they left

Martine was fabulous to deal with. Efficient, reliable and very simply did exactly what she promised to do without any fuss. When organising a funeral this is exactly the service that's needed. I will be very happy to use Russell It Up Events in the future - hopefully for a happy occasion next time! More...

Martine and her staff provided the most wonderful service for my 60th party last weekend. They took care of everything in an efficient, friendly manner and the food was fantastic. Would definitely use again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! We are delighted to have found them! More...

I was recovering from illness and wanted to give a lunch party but I knew I couldn't do it myself, so last Friday, 28th October, Martine and her daughter Antonia did it for me. Thanks to them It was the most stress-free and relaxing party I've ever given! They did everything including serving AND clearing up every last crumb, the food was delicious and they were so easy to deal with and a pleasure to have around. More...

Thank you Jean, that is most kind. I look forward to working with you in the future. Martine

This company catered for my 70th birthday party supplying equipment and food. I cannot express how professional, efficient and friendly Martine and her staff were. The food selection was extensive and delicious. My 35 guests were very impressed. More...

They were very good through out, discreet and efficient.

Russell it up events did a superb job for our summer party! They were very professional, friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent! ! I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Fantastic! More...

We had a wedding afternoon party for our daughter and son-in-law at our house for about 40 people. Russel It Up provided the catering and there was plenty of food for all.
Martine came around some weeks before hand to discuss our requirements - a lot of vegetarians, vegans and a couple of lactose and nut intolerants. It was very easy - we selected the sort of things we liked and she gave us a range of prices. Everything was delivered to the table on the day and was enjoyed by all. There was a nice range of canapes, salads and tarts and absolutely delicious. She organised providing the plates, glasses and cutlery - and the best bit - no need to wash up - just return it dirty. More...

Russell it up events catered for a family birthday party in early August. We were very impressed with the effort Martine and team put into understanding what we wanted for our celebration.

The food was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated by our guests.

It was delivered ready to be served on lovely platters.

We had a lovely day and it was stress free, leaving me time to catch up with loved ones, instead of rushing about getting things ready.

Thank you Martine and Claire. More...

We used Russell It Up for my Father in Law's funeral wake. We asked for vegetarian options as those were his wishes. The food was excellent, communication good and all was delivered on time. Martine made a stressful occasion much more relaxed and I would choose her again, although hopefully for a happier occasion! More...

Wonderful food. Very efficient and well organised. Martine is so nice and made everyone feel well looked after. Just a perfect catering company for any event.

What can we say, from the minute of first contact to the final packing away of equipment, Martine and her fabulous team were amazing.
The choice of food was extensive to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements. The quality, presentation and delivery of the food was brilliant. The team were helpful, attentive and professional.
Martine was great to work with and we will definitely use her again.
We can only say a great big thank you for making our day so special.
A 100% score can not really do them justice. My recommendation would be just book them, you won’t be disappointed. More...

We booked Russell It Up because of the great reviews on Bark. We were not disappointed. The day went very smoothly and the team were a pleasure to have around on our special occasion. The food was great! They set everything up smoothly before the event started and packed everything away at the end so we didn't have to lift a finger. The whole day ran exceptionally well and we will definitely be in touch for future events! More...

Martine was a joy to work with. Not only was her food complimented by our 65 guests for our Ruby Wedding party on Saturday night, but she also provided a delicious buffet for a family celebration for 24 the following day. Her input and guidence with running the events was very helpful and both functions ran smoothly allowing us to enjoy our guests company and the wonderful canapes and bowl food. Thank you Martine and team. More...

Martine and her excellent team were very well prepared and organised.
Made me feel completely calm as they soon as they arrived. Martine allowed me to just focus on my guests.
The food was sublime, first class and delicious. I would have no hesitation in booking Russell it up Again 100%. More...

Martine was brilliant catering for my Mother's funeral. She was so easy to deal with, and the food was just right. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any catering event. Highly competent and a lovely lady. Thank you Martine, we were very grateful. More...

Martine provided lunch catering for a wake for me at short notice. The service she and her team provided was so personalised - from asking about the deceased and close family, to helping decide what sort of foods would work best given the time of day and the set up in my home. The food was perfect - easy to eat with fingers, beautifully presented and everyone commented on the quality. Most of all though was the almost invisible and caring service the team provided - moving through the attendees to prompt some eating when it was obvious people were being hesitant, quietly ensuring drinks were topped up, packing up in the background. Their service was so helpful at a difficult time. Highly recommended! More...

Very efficient and understanding with a short notice request.

I can highly recommend Martine. She was a dream to work with in advance of the event and provided fantastic canapés for us. Our guests absolutely loved them - as did we! It made the night a great success. Thank you and look forward to working with you again! More...

Outstanding service provided by Martine and her team. From setting up, throughout the night the service was fantastic and tidying up at the end. A massive thank you Martine - we all loved the canapes and the presentation - great attention to detail. Thank you once again. More...

My guests were raving about the food all night! I’m so pleased I invested in food for our party. Martine was great to plan the menu with and delivery was seamless. Thank you!!

Martine and her team were fantastic in helping me organise my mother's wake. At such a difficult time, they were highly professional and extremely unobtrusive. Martine just made everything work smoothly. I would highly recommend Martine and the Russell It Up team. More...

RIU (Martine) has done a couple of fantastic events for me in my home, a Christmas party with canapés & an Anniversary bash which involved her delivering some delicious dishes. It took all the pressure of us and was magnificent. Gorgeous little personal touches and a lot of thought went into making it special. Highly recommend & would definitely use again! 😁 More...

Martine was so helpful and understanding when helping me to arrange a funeral tea for my brother. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious. Due to COVID restrictions, there were not as many in attendance as we would have liked but still we had so many comments on how tasty the food was, particularly the lemon drizzle! More...
