HG
Booked Louie's at Red Dog Saloon Hoxton
Pretty good space for our production; host was very communicative and helpful; nice to have the whole downstairs to ourselves and the venue gave us autonomy with the rental. It's about noisy with regular patrons coming and going to the toilets downstairs but that's just a unique issue for rolling audio recording. Otherwise had a good experience.
NS
Booked Beatbox Room at Boxpark Shoreditch
My entire experience with BOXPARK was fantastic. Considering it was a last minute plan, my organizer, Barbora, was efficient, friendly, and overall super helpful in ensuring my event was a great success. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for, staff were lovely.
