Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Theatreland
Everything was amazing. The staff were so helpful & communicative from the very beginning. Gorgeous venue & perfect for the event. Would definitely book again!
Super helpful staff, nothing was too much. One of our guests had a nut allergy which they took incredibly seriously and went above and beyond in trying to make sure all buffet items were safe and well labelled. Really reasonably priced for a Central London private space.
Amazing communication from Sarah with great flexibility. Great room with excellent food. Would recommend
Amazing customer service, great speakers, disco light along with smoke machine which was great. Overall, it was an amazing night. Had my proposal/engagement party here. Thea was a great event organiser and Emmanuel was also amazing. Given the price and location, would recommend.
The venue is very well located and has a modern decor. Good selection of beers and food and a friendly staff.
Brilliant team! Rollo was so helpful and managed the night amazingly. Everyone had a great time and we felt so taken care of. There was so much help with set up and the team totally took care of pack down and cleaning. I would recommend this venue 100%
Staff super friendly, Tay and co went above and beyond to help us on the day. Great venue, great space, very flexible.
