The staff has been fantastically helpful during the event, going the extra mile at every occasion - great experience for both organisers and guests. Great venue, great location, we had the most amazing evening!
Slight disconnect in the communication around the catering, we ended up ordering far too much food (but it was all delicious and the staff packed it all up for us at the end of the night so we could serve it the day after - not much was wasted)

Helen, Antonio & Katia were all fab. Super communicative, service was really good. I really loved the space, it was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Bar staff, security & other staff were all wonderful, especially the fab sound guy. Accommodated our performers really well! Highly recommend for a special event!
The venue was freezing when we arrived which couldn't be turned off but it warmed up once the guests arrived! Also the bar was stocked very low so they ran out of quite a lot of the drinks very quickly but there was still enough to go around and the staff were very kind and communicative.
