FAQ

Yes. A small portable PA system can be hired through the venue, or clients may bring their own.

Yes, pianos are always included in the venue hire.

No. A seated setup followed by a standing reception is unlikely to work, as clearing the chairs can take between 30 and 60 minutes with three to four staff members.

No projector is provided, but the venue can provide a few moveable TV screens.
