Wedding · 60 guests · December 2023

We were lucky to host the wedding of the year at Ovolo. Lara was a godsend, Ebony an angel, and Alex a living legend. I was impressed at every turn by what the venue has built for itself, and what the team were willing to offer. I will hold Ovolo in my heart forever

Conference · 50 guests · August 2023

The venue was really comfortable, great facilities & excellent hospitality

The noise the fridges make in the backroom is quite loud & distracting for group training (particularly when sitting at the back of the room)
