The Kilburn was the best possible venue for my event. The entire night went seamlessly as did the communications leading up to the event. They were so accommodating and allowed us to make the space our own. The staff were so helpful in the set up and pack down. They were kind, efficient and on the ball.

The venue looked great with a lovely space for decorations and a dancefloor. The team on the night were very helpful and cool - even matching with my party theme! They were able to move around the furniture for me accordingly and Mary/Courtney were very helpful in planning the event prior to the date. Would come back here again!
