Birthday Dinner · 20 guests · December 2025
Kate as a host was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly easy to communicate with and made every effort to have our event run exactly as we wanted. The space was gorgeous and she even gave us a last minute upgrade to the Dale Librsry when it was a 40degree day and we needed more air conditioning. The Dale Loft and Dale Library are gorgeous spaces. I will be rebooking in the future for sure. Thank you Kate.
