Verified Reviews of Minimum Spend Venues in Camden Borough
The room and food were reasonable for what I paid, and it was easy to amend my order as I had a lot of guests change their mind or let me know about dietary restrictions quite late. The staff were nice as well.
Staff were lovely, attentive and great to work with. Drink prices were great, venue and toilets was clean and the night ran smoothly For those with concerns regarding the sound system, it's great sound.
The space was great, it was quiet, and the room was light and spacious. The staff who opened the door to let us in were friendly and welcoming. Thank you!
Excellent studio with everything you could possibly need. Michal was super helpful and easy to communicate with.
The venue was very flexible, and they were happy to handle requests that we had. Bartender on the night was really good, making everyone’s drinks and helping out with music, cake etc.
The bartender on the day (I've forgotten the ladies name, sadly) was absolutely amazing! So many people from the party commented on how helpful and accommodating she was. The day ran so smoothly because of her and she managed to keep professional in a room full of 30 or so loud women. The venue itself was very cosy, intimate and lovely. A perfect size for around 20-25 people. We were allowed to play our own music and bring our own decorations in. Thank you for making it a wonderful event.
Great location and well equipped studio. Michal the host is very friendly and goes out of his way to help, highly recommended.
