Booked Bar at Elaine's Bar, Restaurant and Deli
The entire experience was fantastic at Elaine's - from the planning to execution. Every member of the team I spoke to was extremely helpful and really wanted to cater to what we needed for our event. It was such an easy process and they really went out of their way to ensure my guests were happy on the day. In particular, Ilia, Pedro, and Gennaro were just so kind and friendly, and made me feel super at ease.
In terms of the product, the food and drinks were really good quality and delicious, and the venue is just stunning and so chic - my guests were very impressed with the event quality overall. Thank you so much to the team at Elaine's!
