Astounding service may be an understatement, but I have to sing their praises! I hosted an event and made use of Black Apron iters and I requested a manager to oversee the day so that I could step away from the hosting, with just a short briefing before the event with Thabo and the ladies of my expectations they took it upon themselves to go far beyond in their service and delivery of what s expected. They carried themselves, spoke and interacted so well with every guest and each of them carried the most beautiful smile regardless of how tired they were. Thank you Juanita and team for taking the pressure of me on the day.

I recently attended a wedding where Black Apron provided the iters. They looked smart and were professional and friendly in their service. Nothing s too much effort. Their hard work contributed to a beautiful and successful day!

PROS: Booking process s easy and the iter and porter we hired were well groomed, well spoken, polite and competent.
CONS: Unfortunately the staff arrived 45 minutes late and we had to follow up with the owner of the business, Juanita McGavin, and she s not aware of their location or ETA. So a lot of stress s caused. Then at the end of the evening, despite the fact that we were charged a transport fee for collection, the staff ited over 1 and 1/2 half hours for transport to arrive. I ended up driving them to a petrol station to it for their Uber as it s past 1am in the morning.
Unfortunately, even though the staff were great, I would not use Black Apron again due to this experience. The whole idea is to make hosting a party stress-free, but unfortunately this s not our experience.
