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.

Everything was absolutely perfect! The venue is so beautiful, and everyone loved the space and the lovely decoration. Kate was amazing—so kind and helpful. She even helped organise the chairs before we arrived, which made everything so easy for us. Highly recommend this place for any event!

Filming Location · 10 guests · February 2026
Kate and Dan were extremely helpful, both ahead of the shoot during pre-prod and on-set. Their communication was brilliant, bump-in/out easy and overall the space was great. The bookshelf is very unique and aesthetic as pictured. They kindly let us redress sections of it for our shoot. I had seen previous comments about the space being quite hot on warm days, however it was 30º+ every day for us and the aircon was perfect.
Unfortunately, there was construction alongside the building during our filming which made for some street noise and difficulty unloading. There is also a relative amount of street noise in general along the busy road. The noise was manageable and didn't taint our experience, just will require a bit more audio cleanup. One important note, is that there is a pillar in the middle of the room. Again this didn't affect us, but worth considering if you need a lot of depth for your shoot.
