30th Birthday Party · 30 guests
James and Sarah were so communicative and accommodating, it was a fantastic night! The space itself was perfect for 30-40 people and the drinks were great. I would definitely come back for another event!

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about my 30th at St LuJa. The team made it easy and simple to organise and were very accomodating. Great food, great cocktails and the space downstairs feels intimate and homey for a solid 40 people. Even noted my music playing throughout the entire venue when I'd only hired downstairs. Other venues would not do this, and other venues were much stricter on the finish time, while St LuJa's let us hang around in the space til close. Would highly recommend the venue. Great place!
