We used CaterKid’s popcorn machine for the Masi Music Festival for the second year in a row, and it has officially become a tradition we absolutely love. The kids felt so special choosing their flavours, and it added such a fun, joyful energy to the festival — it truly elevated the entire event.
The CaterKid team is incredible. They always go the extra mile, are wonderfully accommodating, and genuinely kind. For our Masi Violin children, this experience made them feel celebrated and seen, which means the world to us.
Thank you, CaterKid, for helping us create magical memories year after year!
CaterKid s absolutely fantastic! The popcorn and candy floss machines were a huge hit — spotless, easy to use, and brought so much joy to our fundraising event.
The service s friendly, professional, and wonderfully patient in showing us how to use the machines. A special thank you to Phil for opening his heart to our guide dogs at the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind.
You helped make the day truly special. We highly recommend CaterKid to anyone looking to add fun, flavour, and smiles to their event!
Excellent experience with Caterkid. I rented a soft serve machine for my son's birthday - they gave prompt feedback, very proactive communication about pick up and drop off and even answered my on Saturday when I had a question about the machine. Definitely recommend Caterkid.
Phil and his team were incredibly efficient and organised us popcorn machines for an event at the last minute after being let down by another company. The instructions on how to use the machines were concise and easy to follow - they also provided all the items necessary - a one stop shop!
Caterkids will be our first choice for our events going forward! Thank you so much, Guys!
Caterkid supplied ice creams at my Aunts memorial service! She loved ice cream and the CK team did a professional, quick setup for the event.
Lovely product and dun toppings!
What a pleasure to deal with. Everything s so well explained, it s all catered around our schedule during the festive season. Phil s so accommodating and very communicative. It s all arranged without a hitch and really made our Christmas so fun. Plug and play. We’ll definitely use Caterkid again.
If you’re looking to add a touch of magic and fun to your event, Caterkid is the y to go! We had the pleasure of having their gorgeous van at our event, and it s an absolute hit with everyone. They offered margaritas and coffees for the adults (which were divine!) and kept the kids entertained with slushies and a bubble machine – a perfect balance that catered to all ages.
The van itself s beautifully designed and added a stylish touch to the event. But what truly stood out s the incredible staff. They were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and everyone had a great time. Their attention to detail and rm approach made the experience unforgettable.
I cannot recommend Caterkid enough! They truly elevated our event and left our guests raving. Whether you’re planning a party, wedding, or any celebration, this company will help you create memories to cherish forever. Five stars all the y!
Absolutely fantastic service from Caterkid.
I would highly recommend them.
On the day of the event I could not get the machine to work (my error) and they sent a team out and replaced the machine despite it being my error at no cost!
They were professional, friendly, helpful and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Such a pleasure to
do business with Phil at Caterkid. The service s professional and the staff that assisted on the day of our event were efficient and friendly. Highly recommend.
