Birthday Party · 30 guests · November 2024

It was a beautiful location and setting - discreet house in a private square. All guests felt privileged Facilities, catering, attention could not be faulted - every need on our part was not a problem on theirs. Service was discreet but absolutely on point - there when needed (even if not realised to be needed!) Staff were lovely - friendly but also professionally efficient All in all - a perfect evening. Personally so happy that my wife had best the 60th birthday party that she could have ever hoped for. Many thanks to all at Zetters - not only for the evening, but the care and attention that went into the arranging of the preliminary visit, the arrangements for the event itself. Everyone could not have been more attentive. Thank you! Mike
