The Staff at Grace darling were incredible! From Nickers who booked everything very seamlessly, and was a breeze to communicate with- to the onsite staff who were nothing but helpful and accomodation to our group! Would 100% recommend!
This place is awesome! The hosts were so helpful in setting up and packing down! They helped with tech issues and were so welcoming.
We booked the Garden area at Sixty Smith for an event for approx 35 people and the space was perfect! Michael’s commutation is excellent and organising what you need is extremely easy and flexible. Can connect your own music to the speakers and the catering was amazing! Super friendly staff and would definitely recommend for any small function. Big thank you to Michael and the team for having us!
We had a 21st at Sixty Smith and it was an great night. The service we received from Michael was amazing; responsive, timely, helpful. The staff were friendly and the night went off without a hitch. Would highly recommend for any private function.
