We had a fantastic experience with this venue. The team was highly communicative and incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the event, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly, the staff were friendly and attentive, and we couldn't have been happier with how the event turned out. We would highly recommend this venue to others.

Maja was very helpful answering any questions I had regarding the catering and general questions I had about the venue. Often would get in touch to ensure I had thought all options of a Choice of catering or Drink through with various options. No request was too small and always checked in to make sure I knew what was happening. The food options where great and loved by all. Lots of great feedback from all guests

We had a brilliant team day morning at the Arboretum - Maja and Leila were amazing and so friendly and helpful. Everyone really enjoyed the morning and the set up was great. Lunch that was ordered in was really nice and we got lots of good comments about it from team members.
