The venue was better than I expected to be honest, was perfect for what I needed it for. Laura who I communicated with was super helpful, sent a brochure of the different stages I could use which was very useful and had a lot of detail. I unfortunately forgot a cable that I needed to connect to the projector, Laura went out of her way and got me the right one I needed. Overall 10/10 experience and would definitely hire again
