Party · 120 guests · October 2026

We hired this venue for our engagement party and everything was flawless right from the get go. Thea was so responsive and helpful lduring the planning, and the team were very accommodating and flexible with things like decorations, music and special cocktails. The venue has such a great vibe/decor and on the night itself all the bar and organisational staff were just an absolute blast to be around, really made us feel valued and elevated the event. I think I will definitely be back here in the future!

Nothing at all.
