Engagement Party · 35 guests · July 2026 · Brown Butterfly Room
The venue was really lovely and welcoming staff, very helpful and clean. They had music we could play ourselves and prosecco on arrival for guests which was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to host events here.
Nothing from the venue itself. The iPod to play music from was quite old and hard to use (this could be something to look into for future!) but other than that everything was fantastic!
