I had my engagement party at the Kensington Room recently. It is a beautiful and spacious venue, and the hosts are very helpful and accommodating. It was overall an amazing experience and a lot of our guests complimented the venue. The bar is massive, there was a screen we were able to put a slideshow on, different options for tables and chairs to use, and the overall vibe is great for a party. Would highly recommend!
