Tribe P.

Booked Private Floor at My Buzzspace

5.0

Our experience at this venue was absolutely fantastic! From the initial communication to the support provided on the day, we couldn't have asked for a better team or space. The venue itself is stunning and incredibly versatile, perfectly suited for our workshop, panel event, and networking session. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They were hands-on, attentive, and catered to all our needs. Pooja was excellent in the lead-up to the event, providing clear and timely information, while the events manager, Erla, ensured everything was seamless on the day. Shiv, our bartender, also provided great service, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-equipped space with a supportive and professional team. It truly made our event a success!

Amnon F.

Booked Botanical Bar at The Oliver Conquest

5.0

Great professionalism and communication from Craig and the team. Really liked the space for a casual networking meetup where people were meeting each other for the first time. It was a touch cramped when the event was at its busiest (around 50 people) but this improved as some guests spread to other parts of the venue and the outdoor area. Great value for money

Ellie M.

Booked Main Room at Great Guns Social

4.9

Pepa, Beni and the team at Great Guns Social ensured we had an amazing evening for a work networking event. They were so accommodating, nothing was a problem for them and they worked hard to find a solution for all of our requests- no matter how big or small. In the run up to the event Pepa communicated wonderfully and helped to understand our requirements and what she could do for us. The venue was very reasonably priced and a really great, central location if you’re coming from the city. All of our guests commented on the amazing food, and even more on the amazing staff. As this was my first time planning a work event on this scale, I was slightly nervous however as soon as I met Beni and saw the venue, this took all the stress away. He made sure the evening ran seamlessly without any added concerns and went above and beyond to make the evening stress free, fun and memorable for everyone. The bar staff were also excellent and attentive and the food that the chefs made was well above the usual standard of work event catering. We would definitely use Great Gun Social in the future and thanks again to everyone who made it such a fun and successful evening.

Booked The Artist's Loft at Woolly Mammoth spaces (3)

5.0

Stylish, modern and lovely venue! I recently had the pleasure of hosting an intimate brunch event at The Artist’s Loft in Shoreditch, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Jeremy and Dayanna were not only friendly but also incredibly respectful and attentive to our needs. Their professionalism and willingness to accommodate our requests made the planning process a breeze. The venue itself was a true gem. It was impeccably clean and well-maintained, matching the pictures and expectations perfectly. The spacious layout allowed my guests to move around freely, fostering an atmosphere of networking and connection. If you want to organise an intimate event, The Artist’s Loft in Shoreditch is the perfect choice. I couldn't have been happier with the location and the space it provided. Our experience at the venue was top-notch, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a welcoming and accommodating place for their special occasion. Thank you, Jeremy & team, for helping make our event a memorable success! Warm regards, Anna-Noémie

Booked The Games Room at Heist Bank

5.0

We had an incredible time hosting the launch event of our creative network at Heist Bank. The venue itself was great, easy to access and the Games Room was super cozy and allowed us host our intimate event as desired. The staff on hand were A+, helped us to set up the room, assisted us with the tech and ensured that we always had fresh glasses and water on hand periodically throughout the night. Everyone was super friendly and nothing was too much trouble which made us feel very welcome there. Our pizza order came on time and our guests absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend this venue - and it's very likely that we'll be back!

Angus Q.

Booked The Boudoir Bar at Bar Soho

4.8

Staff were really helpful - the venue's events manager unfortunately left prior to our event, so the sales manager really stepped up and nothing was too much trouble. Fast response to any questions and accommodated multiple site visits. On the night staff were super helpful as well, recommending a standard drinks package, relevant offers we could apply to make the event more affordable – which in our case is important as we run events to a tight budget – and again handled a very busy room with consummate grace. It is also a really great space for a networking event, with good sound and easy to access projection system - made it all very relaxing.

Booked The Vault Bar at Walkers of Whitehall

4.8

Georgia was incredibly responsive to all our email queries before the event and very accommodating with requests including splitting the food bill with our co-host.
