The area we booked (bar 3) was a great space, enabled plenty of socialising and dancing. Great staff and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere in Bonnie’s was fab, music a good mix of eras, overall I had a fantastic night
I like thatbos was a separate area but not a separate room. Felt like we were part of what was going on but had our own space to celebrate without strangers walking though the area. I likes.thatvthe area was close to the bar & toilets were close to hand.
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.
