The venue was great and the staff were amazing - Jacob and Annie were so helpful all night long, we couldn't have asked for more! The room was the perfect size for my party and the setup mean that I didn't need to worry about decorations or anything as it looks great as is. Location was great as had quite a few friends from London there, so easy for them to get to the party and back on the night. Thank you all so much - I really did have the best night!
Nothing I can think of!
