Great service! The food was delicious, and beautifully presented. Everything arrived on time, and the staff were professional and friendly. Highly recommend for any event!
AJ and co. were amazing. They brought such good vibes and made sure that everything was seamless. I couldn’t recommend them anymore than I already do.
The communication with staff was spot on. They were welcoming and provided good information on using the site. The venue itself is beautiful and provided a wonderful backdrop for our event. There is also parking.
Friendly staff, Edy and Steve were lovely. Great space, reasonably priced. We hired for a funeral wake, and everyone loved the place! Staff helped arrange table and chairs pre event which was really helpful. Would love to hire again for a different event one day.
All of staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We have fully enjoyed our farewell party here, with good food and good wine. Thank you so much, we would definitely come back.
Really helpful during the day, and the shoot was perfect for what we needed. Will be coming back to shoot more there!
Quina was absolutely lovely! She made sure i had everything I needed and was very accommodating. She made me very comfortable and even helped me with my bags, as I was alone. I would definitely book with her again.
Great, light and airy space. The manager was responsive and helpful! The toilets are well looked after, and the cafe was great to have on site. It was great to have the option to bring food and drink on site though.
