We booked a double room which had enough space for 30 people (but you can have max 50). The venue was unique with great views over the city. We had great communication with the sales person and event planner. Friendly staff on the day. The room hire fee was reasonable. Most private dining rooms at restaurants don't accommodate a lot of people or various dietary requirements but Searcy's did. They also had a lot of options food wise. You can also bring your own cake at no additional fee. Aside from the seating everything was set up nicely before the start of the event. Also it was great that they could supply some things such as table number holders etc.
On the day, organisers did not follow seating plan fully. Some attention to detail was missed from our instructions in general. Food was good but expected the food to be a bit more elaborate for the price. Bowl foods should also have been labelled to accommodate for dietary requirements. Prices not displayed inclusive of VAT on the menu. Cost of alcohol was also extremely high given that you cannot bring your own alcohol.
