Haley was great before and during the party. Always on time and thorough. She was particularly helpful the night of the party, and so was most of the staff. The venue is just great and sells by itself. It was packed and the air con was perfect.

Everything, the staff were brilliant, the room was a great size and the karaoke was amazing. The fact you could plug into the aux was great and the volume of the music could be changed to what we liked! Had such an amazing evening would definitely recommend!
