Broadbean Catering & Events - Acton, Australian Capital Territory

Geoff Williams

Natalie led the catering and event set-up in a professional and personable way. Nothing was too much trouble, for example we were able to make a call on an indoor or outdoor ceremony about an hour beforehand.

We had use of a private room for the bride and groom which was invaluable. I actually left my after dinner speech in there and it turned up at my table setting - you cannot buy service and attention to detail like that!

The price is very good for the event venue and the quality of the food and wine.

You will not go wrong by engaging these guys! 5 stars.

My wife and I held a wedding reception event at the National Museum of Australia - Peninsula room.

The venue ambience was perfect and catered for the required numbers we had.

The food was a non-Indian menu selection and was well received by all our Indian guests! A testament to the chef's abilities.

Natalie's support throughout the entire planning process on short notice was instrumental in assisting me making all arrangements from Sydney. I only had a chance to look at the completed setup venue once I made my grand appearance with my wife and everything was setup perfectly according to plan.

Her run sheet and ability to coordinate vendors leading up to the day and on the day itself was very helpful.

The complimentary brunch was wonderfully prepared for us the next day.

10/10 for the venue, event manager, chef and support staff!

My wife and I held our wedding at the National Museum of Australia last weekend. Natalie and the team did an amazing job helping make our vision become a reality. The day was better than what we had imagined. We’ve heard from many of our guests that the food was really great and that it was such a unique and stunning venue.

Natalie was so helpful and easy to communicate with, and just made the whole process so easy. Her attention to detail and organisation enabled us to have full confidence leading up to the day, and we really appreciated the hard work she put in to coordinate with all of our vendors and make sure our reception ran smoothly.

We were extremely happy with everything and highly recommend the museum as a function venue!

I could not be more happier with my wedding at the Museum- Natalie and the team did an outstanding job! Natalie‘s attention to detail and communication before and on the wedding night was amazing! All requests were actioned and the liaison with suppliers by the Museum was seamless. The food and service were also commendable!

We had our wedding at the National Museum with Broadbean Catering & Events and it was everything we could've hoped for! The food was amazing, staff were very attentive and friendly, and the Peninsula room was perfect. Natalie and Anthony were so great to work with in the lead up, with good communication and always very flexible with our requests. The menu tasting offering before the wedding was a highlight for us, it allowed us to pick the perfect dishes that we were then excited for our guests to try. Natalie took away our stress with planning, helping out with schedules and contacting vendors, the day went seamlessly. We would highly recommend Broadbean!

My husband and I held our wedding in the Peninsula Room and were very happy with the whole organisation process and final event. Everything from initial contact to final execution went smoothly and I have no comments for improvement (which is rare for me as I am very picky about customer service). From initial contact with Anthony and then liaising with Natalie, we found both to be polite, responsive and helpful. Thank you for making our special day run so smoothly, and helping to create pleasant memories.

We had previously attended an event catered by Broadbean, so knew that their food was good. Broadbean didn't disappoint - the wedding tasting session was excellent, and allowed us to make a minor change to the menu. We were more than happy with the food served on the wedding night.

Natalie was a pleasure to deal with - good with follow up, answering questions, and arranging details. Our original venue of The Bay Windows had to be changed - this was handled well, and we were pleased with the alternative provided. On the night itself, everything went smoothly. The wait staff were excellent, discreetly ensuring canapes and drinks were readily available, and deftly serving all courses. Even the security guard had excellent people skills.

Based on our experience, we highly recommend Broadbean Catering. The only thing we'd change in hindsight is to start the event earlier, so there was more time to talk to everyone!

Ahhh, it was all perfect! The evening went exactly as planned. The food was as wonderful on the evening as it was on the taste test. Many, many compliments from guests on the food, location and ambience. The museum was a superb venue for our Latino-Australian-wedding with ceremony by the lake and dance party inside. Natalie Rawsthorne was brilliant to deal with from the first phone call to delivery on the night. Selfie of us with Nat included. Muchas gracias Natalie, muchas gracias Museo Nacional. Fue noche increible!

We had one of our Conference dinners in the Peninsula Room. The staff were all good but especially our coordinator Brittany. Bathroom facilities were handy and the Peninsula room was spot-on; plenty of room to move around. The food was plentiful and high quality as were the wines. Table service was excellent as well. All in all our staff had a great night and the location was great.
Would definitely hold our conference meetings there next time, as well.
