Graduation Party · 30 guests · September 2026

I had the pleasure of hosting my sister’s graduation at Simplicity and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! It was a self catering event, and we had access to literally everything: plates, utensils, machines, AC, sound system… literally everything! We also had the freedom to move the tables and chairs around however we wanted, which was so helpful when setting up the space. Nicoletta and her partner were sooo accommodating from the moment I expressed interest right through to after the booking. They were so lovely, helpful and made the whole process so easy. I would definitely recommend Simplicity to anyone looking for a great venue!
