Great event catering is about more than serving great food. It is about understanding the occasion, the audience and the experience a brand wants to create, and then designing a food and hospitality offering that becomes part of that experience. Gemelli Bespoke, the off-site catering and events arm of Gemelli, brought exactly that to two standout Amex experiences: Amex Tennis Town and the Amex Café at the Nedbank Polo. From developing event-specific menus to delivering polished service on the day, these events demonstrate what Gemelli Bespoke is designed to do: take the Gemelli experience beyond the restaurant and adapt it to a completely different environment.

Corporate events are changing. Teams are increasingly looking for experiences that go beyond the traditional sit-down lunch or dinner. They want something interactive, social and memorable — an experience that gives people an opportunity to connect outside of their usual working environment. Through Gemelli Bespoke , we’re able to take the hospitality and creativity associated with Gemelli and build those experiences around the client. One of our recent events with Galetti Corporate Real Estate was a perfect example.

At Gemelli, we believe that exceptional catering begins with an idea and then elevating that idea into an unforgettable culinary experience. Through Gemelli Bespoke, our off-site catering offering, we work closely with clients to design menus that are tailored, creative, and truly memorable. One such experience was a recent private event curated for LYON RAW Artisan Honey, hosted by founder and South Africa’s only Honey Sommelier, Natasha Lyon.
