OUR journey

Gertrude has been bringing people together from its much-loved mobile caravan since 2014.

In 2025, Beatrice Nacor took the reins and began a new chapter, growing Gertrude from a charming caravan concept into a full-service catering and events business designed to make celebrations feel warm, memorable and effortless.

Throughout her hospitality career, Beatrice has gained extensive experience delivering major events, including securing and managing operations at the Australian Open and the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

Together with her partners, Brandon, Phillip and Ryan, Beatrice established Gertrude Events from a shared love of good food, great drinks and the joy of bringing people together.

Hospitality is at the heart of everything Gertrude Events does. Backed by experience across hospitality, operations, events and brand activations, the team combines creativity, attention to detail and a genuine passion for making people feel welcome.

Gertrude Events specialises in Asian-inspired food and drinks, drawing on nostalgic flavours and familiar favourites while giving them a fresh and thoughtful twist. From weddings and private celebrations to corporate events, market activations and brand pop-ups, the team creates experiences that feel considered, relaxed and full of personality.

Gertrude Events believes that the smallest details often make the biggest difference. From the first enquiry to the final plate and pour, the team takes the time to understand each event and create something personal, generous and seamless.

It is never just about serving food and drinks.

It is about creating meaningful moments that people will remember, delivered with warmth, care and plenty of heart.
