Verified Reviews of 50th Birthday Venues in Waterloo
Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Excellent communication and great venue in a easily accessible location
The communication with Kyra will great, and the staff were amazing. Huge shout out to Jess, Trinity and Markta and they were unbelievable on the evening. They are a HUGE asset to Tonight Josephine and they really made every effort to make our night amazing. Thank you.
We were actually at the bar not the secret drawing room. Enrique and the team looked after us remarkably well from preparation before and getting the right drinks and food secured for the night to keeping us well fed and refreshed on the night. It couldn't have gone better and I can't recommend the BFI more. Thanks guys!
The event was excellently planne and super easy to communicate with, even with my constant backing and forthing. I could not recommend the venue/staff to a higher level. Every detail we discussed was executed perfectly.
Very bright and designed well despite being a basement room Kevin the host was very amenable and the service was highly appreciated!
We organised our daughter christening, the staff and the food was amazing and everyone had an amazing moment. Front of House has been very accommodating and made sure we had a special moment! Thank you to everyone! Highly recommended!
They had lots of activities and the areas was cool. The staff were friendly and the over all atmosphere was splendid. There was sport in the back ground but it was not too loud that you couldn't talk to the people around you.
