About this space

We had our wedding reception here for approx 50 people in the garden and cafe and couldn’t recommend it enough! The venue is beautiful, provides an intimate yet spacious feel with the light airy cafe and large garden. Definitely an amazing find in the city and all our guests loved it! The staff were so lovely and helpful leading up to the day and made all the difference as we were planning in a short time frame. Thank you Lavinia, Jenny and Ula!
