Booked The Orchid Room & Terrace at Sticky Mango Waterloo
4.9
The communication with Stef from the venue was great every step of the way — the initial messages included very comprehensive information, and we even had a phone call to fine-tune the details. On the day of the event (Sunday), I called them as one guest cancelled last minute, and they were happy to accommodate. Kader and his team were extremely professional and friendly — they looked after us in every detail! The food was phenomenal, and even the bento boxes from the kids’ menu were delicious. They knew our guests’ names and catered wonderfully to the picky eaters. The attention to detail was outstanding. Everyone was so happy, and they truly made that important occasion feel special. If I have another event, I will most definitely think of this venue!

Amazing...simply amazing. The communication leading up to the event was outstanding. On the day, Jai and the team were so helpful and accommodating, friendly, polite and kind.

Booked Secret Bar at "Americana"

I thoroughly enjoyed my 40th Birthday night at Americana! It was a total pleasure working with Alessandro in making my experience incredible with the booking of the secret bar and gallery upstairs with my own private DJ playing my jams into the early hours. I have to shout out to Javon who was on hand with me and my guests all night and Davido who made the experience very smooth. I thoroughly recommend this lavish and exclusive venue.

Staff were fantastic, they could not have been more helpful & completely rushed off their feet the whole night! They helped make a very special 40th Birthday. Perfect for a big event like this, security on the door, completely private venue. Able to come early, set up decorations, live music allowed - couldn't be better! Huge thank you to all the staff that night!!!

I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Oxford Market, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The venue itself was fantastic—charming, well-maintained, and perfect for the occasion. All my guests were impressed and had a wonderful time. A special shout-out to Craig, the organiser, who truly went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail and dedication made the event unforgettable. Highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

Booked Basement at Promona Bar & Basement
5.0
The venue is in a great location, very central and easily accessible. The different areas work really well for a party so these is space for people to mingle and chat and then the dancefloor for those who really want to party. My DJs were happy with the set up. Naomi and her team were all really lovely and helpful and looked after us well. I would certainly recommend this venue to anyone looking to hold an event or party.

Booked The Party Room at The Regent

The venue was amazing, the communication leading up to the event was helpful and they responded really quickly. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I also thought it was great value for money, the karaoke machine was such an added bonus. The food was really delicious and came quickly when we ordered, there was no need to pre order . We would definitely use The Regent again, great pub, great service in a really beautiful part of London
