Awards Ceremony · 150 guests
Simply put, our guests were amazed with how our awards event looked and senior management couldn't believe that it was put on for the price that it was. From start to finish, the museum was helpful, provided extra things for our event and answered all of our questions and allowed multiple site visits. The AV support was superb. We had different tracks when guests came up and the winner's names flashed on the Ellipse. The lighting was fantastic and really made our event. I don't think our event would have looked as good if it was anywhere else. I thoroughly recommend using Musuem of London because of the incredible level of service and quality finish for our event.
Our original caterer (one of the preferred suppliers) dropped out a few weeks before our event which was stressful but the museum were amazing in helping us to find a replacement caterer that was within our budget. Our replacement caterer was fantastic and very helpful. We are happy with how things worked out.
