We had the best time celebrating at Fidelio after doing our wedding registry in the day. Ash was the loveliest host, super accommodating and clear on communication from the get go. We loved this beautiful space and we would recommend anyone who is looking for a venue to host an event.
It's great meeting facility that we have used many times, now. It's our go to space to use in London.
Excellent experience. The room and venue overall was great, but it was the welcome and support we received from Natasha throughout the day that made it for us. She could not be more helpful - a real star. Thank you!
Everything went smoothly and we got everything that we were told we were going to get. Very happy and very professional staff. Caitlyn and Sophie were really helpful and made it very stress free
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!
The venue was lovely and perfect for our team day. Zach was very helpful in the lead up to our work event and ensured everything went smoothly. The space is much nicer and roomier in person.
This room was elegant and spacious and perfect for our meeting of 6. The host was incredibly helpful and the whole day was very easy.
Fantastic space and Michal was a pleasure to work with. We filmed in the Lounge and our Director was very pleased with the location.
