Booked PARTY AND EVENT VENUE at DNC BAR
5.0
The team had prepared the venue to help celebrate our marriage, with balloons, drinks and food available. We had a party of 30+ and were all comfortably accommodated in the private venue. The team were incredibly friendly and helpful with our queries and made our time in the venue all the more easier. Fantastic price for what was presented and for the quality of drinks & food included. High praises and recommendations from all in attendance and many thanks to Leticia & the team at DNC.
