Birthday Party · 40 guests · December 2025 · White Room

Celebrating my birthday with 30 guests in the White Room on Sunday afternoon was perfect! I booked the entire event from NYC without ever having visited the Aviary and I was thrilled with my choice. The delightful helpful staff were so appreciated on what can be a stressful day for the birthday boy. The canapés were delicious and the room itself worked perfectly for the 30 guests. Would have been great for 50 guests too! Thanks so much I had the best time on my birthday.

Function Room · 40 guests · April 2026 · White Room

I had my intimate 30th here with 30 guests (space for more). Rosie was amazing and very attentive on the day of the event. Every request was met with ease and I didn't feel like a burden in anyway. Lovely venue - well equipped. She even arranged for the flower arrangement to be returned the following days which was one less thing to stress about.

The tapas did come out however the wait staff only held it to the bar side once and then it was placed on the side table. I expected them to at least walk the room rather than just bring it out to the table. I did also ordered a few bottles of wine for welcome drinks and I thought they would be pre-poured and on a tray offered to guests when they arrived however it was just glasses and the wines on the bar counter. Defeats the purpose of welcome drinks as guests could've ordered from the bar. The downlights in the room was in a series circuit with the toilet lights so when we had the room lights off, so did the toilet lights which was inconvenient.

    'This was the perfect venue for a birthday party! The space was the perfect size with plenty of room for dancing and the fairy lights made the atmosphere so cozy and nice. All the staff were incredibly helpful and catered to all our requests. Would definitely recommend!!'
  • Hayley M. rated it 4.8/5 stars
    'I had my 21st birthday party here on Friday and I can't express how much I loved the Aviary Hotel as a venue. Savannah and the rest of the staff were very supportive, helpful and friendly and they ensured everything ran smoothly without any hiccups. The beer garden itself was a beautiful intimate area for around 60 guests and was the perfect place for sitting down, chatting and meeting new people whilst also having space for dancing as the night went on. The selection of wine and beer on the tab was great and the grazing table had something for everyone. I can't thank Savanah and the team at Aviary enough for making my 21st so amazing!'

It is! Here's what guests who have hosted holiday celebrations there are saying:

  • Ruby C. rated it 5/5 stars
    'A belated review but we had our work Christmas Party at the Aviary (upstairs area) in November 2022 and it was fantastic. Sav was so flexible and easy to work with; the space was lovely; and it was so well-priced compared to other venues. Would definitely booked another function here in the future.'
  • Lisa S. rated it 5/5 stars
    'From Olivia at front of house to the wonderful staff in the restaurant we were made to feel welcome, they made sure everyone had plenty to eat, excellent quality and large servings of food and a really good selection of wines in our beverage package. Our 20 staff had a fantastic afternoon. Thanks so much everyone at The Aviary.'
