Verified Reviews of Affordable Venues in West End
I liked how easy it was make an enquiry, schedule a viewing, make the booking, set up for my party, access the venue to set up decorations, the managers Kaitlyn, Eric, and Reece, the bar staff, the security, the door lady, the cleanliness, the quick refund of my deposit, the DJ booth and PA system…everything really. Really solid team, I’m so glad I was able to book this venue. I highly recommend!
Beautiful venue and the staff were superb. The person in charge of our event was on hand throughout the evening to ensure that everything ran smoothly and answer any queries. The room was lovely and had a lovely atmosphere. The food was high quality and plentiful. We had a wonderful evening.
The staff were friendly, hospitable, and went to great lengths to ensure the room met our standards. They were also very apologetic about the slight delay with the food, which we appreciated.
The team didn't fail to deliver. Would definitely book again. Thanks all for a making our event a successful event!
Great space, great size. Had an ipad all set up so we could play off spotify easily. We had dedicated barmen so getting drinks was super easy and everyone at LeBab were great about letting us hang decorations ect. Would really recommend
We had a wonderful event at Notes. Elina and her team were really helpful and the venue had a wonderful, warm atmosphere. We would really recommend this space.
