Party · 50 guests · February 2025
We had a fantastic experience at the Aviary beer garden to celebrate a 21st Birthday. Staff were great at comunications and it was stress free. The catering was smooth and professional and the food was delicious. I would highly recomend this venue although on the website it says the space would hold up to 80 - this would be a tight squeeze.
