Thank you so much for hosting our engagement party at Purl! The team were amazing, and the venue was absolutely perfect. Everyone had such a great time and we've had so many compliments about the space. A special thank you to the staff on the night for all their help! They made sure everything was set up properly and kept everything running smoothly. They were so friendly and accommodating, and we really appreciated everything they did. A special thank you to Asha and Jay for everything they did!

Drinks Reception · 50 guests · June 2026

We had an absolutely wonderful evening and couldn’t have asked for a better celebration. The venue looked fantastic, everything ran smoothly, and all of our guests had an amazing time. There wasn’t anything we felt was missing on the night. Everything was exactly as we had hoped, and we’re very grateful for all the effort that went into making it so special. FYI- The guests really liked the pizza!
