A perfectly sized and great looking space with incredibly helpful and attentive staff that looked after all of our needs. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Thanks
Staff were incredible and so helpful! Venue was so beautiful and such a lovely vibe!! Everyone had an incredible time and I can’t thank the staff and beautiful place enough!
Its a dreamy place! Amazing place for shooting. Perfect lighting is bonus. Also, Mars is so helpful and ready to help for more. We did our work in 2 hours + felt so inspired by her lovely place. Thank you so much!
Great service and staff - beautiful venue inside. Perfect for a 30th birthday or any sort of celebration! The cocktails were also really really good. All in all would highly recommend Fontaines for a private function! We had approximately 60 people invited and was a comfortable space for everyone to enjoy. All the guests loved the venue.
Absolutely fantastic venue with phenomenal staff- the quality of the drinks and the interaction with all my guests was amazing. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful and my party was excellent! Great options to personalise my experience and it fantastic to be able to provide my own Dj for the event.
Carole and Julie are AMAZING. They went far and beyond to ensure that what I needed from their end was sorted. I couldn't have been any happier. My go to venue from this day on. Perfect for any occasion. I would recommend to anyone and everyone in a heart beat.
