The venue was beautiful, the staff catered for my needs the whole night, and it was truly an unforgettable night. It went too quickly.
Little details like cake being served on napkins instead of plates made it a bit hard to eat. Another hiccup was my guests started eating from the dietaries table as it was not labelled clear enough.

We had a wonderful time and cannot praise the staff at the temperance hotel highly enough. Annaliese was very responsive, the bar staff were friendly and attentive and a special shout out goes to the lovely security men who helped our elderly guests find and get their ubers home. They really went above and beyond. The red velvet room itself was gorgeous and the food was a big hit. We had rave reviews from all of our guests.

    'I recently had my 30th at Temperance Hotel and it was a real hoot!! The private lounge was such a vibe!! I organised decorations and balloons to be taken to Temperance on the day of and all staff were very accomodating. Bea was amazing at helping me organise the event and the rest of the staff at Temperance were absolutely amazing. They looked after everyone, and made sure the night went smoothly. The food was delicious and the staff at the bar/handing around the night were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend having your function at Temperance and I would definitely do it all over again!! All of my friends and family had the best time and spoke very highly of the venue and staff. I can't wait to have another party at Temperance in the future! '
