Alice and the team at Gorilla were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our corporate group for our Christmas event. The communication leading up to the event was great, and we were really impressed on the day with the decor, food and level of attention from the staff. We really appreciated the flexibility around drinks and being helpful with our last minute requests. We had lots of positive feedback from our attendees! :)
