Meeting · 70 guests · June 2025

We had an incredible event at Voco and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning an event or special occasion. The event space is absolutely stunning – clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that added such a wow factor. Having exclusive use of the entire 9th floor was fantastic, and our guests were blown away by the venue. The staff truly went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. A special thank you to **Mitch, Lester, and Jacob** – your professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth made all the difference. You are a real credit to Voco. We also want to shout out the lovely lady who hosted us in the ‘SNUG’ area of the bar on Saturday 7th June – her customer service was exceptional. I'm just sorry I didn’t catch your name! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Voco for any event – and we’ll definitely be back!

Everything was as expected. Excellent venue, very well organised and presented. Jacob who helped with the initial booking was superb, nothing was too much trouble. He couldn't have been more helpful. On the day Lester was also just as helpful. Able to accommodate every request and ensure the day ran smooth. No complaints, would absolutely recommend and will most definitely book again.

Conference · 70 guests · June 2024

Very helpful and attentive on the day and in the run up to the event. Flexible and accommodating. Fantastic space, great natural light flooding the space. Perfect size venue. Delicious food. Great facilities.

There was quite a bit of sound bleeding through from the other spaces due to a fault with the partitioning wall, however this was rectified half way through the day which certainly helped. It would have been helpful to have a dedicated AV team member who could have stayed in the main lecture theatre to monitor sound, microphone support etc.
