Christmas Party · 70 guests · December 2024
Rebecca was absolutely amazing to deal with when organising our work Christmas Party - she went above and beyond to understand our needs and tailored a package to suit our budgets including providing suggestions and advice on how to best set up our event. The staff on duty on the night were exceptional - super friendly, professional, efficient and made sure all our guests were looked after and enjoyed themselves. I will highly recommend The Oxford Scholar to anyone wanting a nice venue for a night out and we would love to work with them again in future!
Nothing. Everything was ideal.
