The staff were brilliant; could not have done more for us, they were so helpful and so friendly. Really professional and kind people. The room was great, exactly what we needed. Food was great and drinks were great too!
Great little studio that is ideal for a professional photoshoot, really great with communicating and very fun laid back and easy going. If you like doing business with people who are professional but don’t take themselves serious at the same time this is the place. Would definitely recommend and use again.
