Christmas Party · 150 guests · December 2022

Loved how flexible and easy Belinda was to works with. No request was too difficult and Belinda made organising a last minute Christmas Party much easier than it should be.

Nothing to do with Belinda! Just on the night, the queues at the bar for drinks was really long at times. Feedback from our patrons mostly focused on wait times.
