    'Pura Vida (Duncan and Shelly) catered for our wedding, and it was brilliant!! We had tartiflette for the meat eaters and paella for the veggies, both dishes were super tasty! Duncan was really friendly and helpful in the lead up, they turned up on time and were really efficient which is all we can ask for when there is a thousand other things going on. We couldn't have asked for more and can't wait to eat with them again, thanks so much guys!'
