Rebecca was a pleasure to work with in organising our event. She was highly accommodating, well-organised, and transparent in her communication. Her prompt responses and attention to detail greatly contributed to a smooth planning process, enhancing our overall experience with the venue.

The venue was easy to get to, and it was actually really great! The function coordinators were very helpful and responsive and their staff on the day were amazing! The food was plentiful and quite delicious! Great service!!! We would look at using The Oxford on Scholar again in the future.
