Party · 100 guests · August 2024
The venue was perfect for the occasion, huge space and in a good location. The staff were all really helpful and friendly on the day of the party and helped us set up a few things. The communication before hand was also really good and Robinne and the rest of the team were mostly able to reply to any questions or concerns quickly.
When viewing the venue we were told certain things like DJ equipment would be provided on the day, however after we were told it was no longer available and we needed to source our own. The deposit should have been refunded or something in the price should have been adjusted seeing as we had to pay for this ourselves and was initially promised. Other than that everything else was smooth!
