Reviews for HostCo
Christen Datu
We had the most incredible experience with HostCo for our wedding! From the very start, our coordinator, Helen, was amazing—helpful, responsive and guiding us through the journey. Our wedding ceremony was at the Cottage Lawns and The Refectory and it was beautiful, from the European style facade that overlooked our ceremony, to the moody and artsy Refectory ball room where we had our candlelight reception. The ability for our guests to mingle on the lawns, then head into the various refectory rooms meant there was always a space the suited everyone. The food was spectacular; every dish received rave reviews from our guests. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff ensuring everything went smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life. Highly recommend HostCo and The Refectory for anyone looking to host a memorable event!

My wife and I just celebrated our wedding at the Great Hall, Sydney University, and honestly, having HostCo (led by Helen) as our caterer was the best decision we could have made. Helen was by our side for the entire journey, always there to take our calls and emails as we tried to create the best possible event for our guests. Helen and her team invested so much time and effort into the event, making sure that we were completely satisfied the entire way through - whether it was to do with the food selection, drinks, cocktail hour set up, seating arrangements and the itinerary itself. They were extremely flexible and accomodating. The food itself was fantastic - the meat and fish were delicious, and the entrees were super tasty as well! Out of every person we worked with, Helen was the most responsive and helpful, and we couldn't have done it without her and the team at HostCo. Thank you so much!

Thank you to the best wedding co-ordinator ever - Tran Howlett, she was amazing for everything up to and including the day, the whole process was so easy because of her and the whole day was beyond our expectations. Amazing support also from the entire HostCo team and thank you to Rafael on the night who took great care of the event. Finally the food was the buzz of the night, 5 star dishes from Canapes, Entree's Mains and Deserts + the additional hand made chocolates which all our guests loved. Overall the best day ever because of Tran and HostCo - Thank you for everything again - Love the De Leon's.

HostCo were the venue and contractors who I engaged for my wedding at the University of Sydney this Saturday. I wanted to say the most enormous thank you to the venue manager Tran, floor manager Raf and their staff. Largely thanks to their input and careful preparations, Saturday was more perfect and delightful than we could ever have envisaged! Nothing was too hard for them every step of the way and they even let me change my mind a few times in the months leading up to the event. As far as I'm aware, every single guest had an amazing time. The food, in particular, made a big impression and most of our 100 guests commented on how good it was. It was the string trio and beautiful greenery and the arbour that Tran arranged via Anna Wang which really made it for me though! I recommend this venue very highly, thank you again for a perfect day!

Tran and her team did a great job of setting up The Refectory at Sydney Uni for our wedding ceremony. We were very impressed by the room styling and the host’s professionalism on the day. Our guests were very impressed and The Refectory served for some wonderful photos.
