The venue, ambience and staff were absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault anything. 5 stars from us.
The DJ was awful, not very current and quite rude at times
The old library was a great place for a bridal shower. The main thing I loved was the help I received from Laura, she was always available, helpful through out the event, helped with setting the tables with me. It was a very pretty venue and when it became a bit cold the heaters were turned on which instantly warmed the venue. The music system was easy to connect to and easy to use. Overall we had a great time. Thank you.
The food was not enough to feed the amount of people we had there. We used the buffet system but by the time the last 10 people came to collect food it was nearly finished. The fairy lights were not working so the backdrop looked dark as our event was at night.
Excellent venue. Staff went above and beyond and we're virtual mind readers which helped
The venue had really great communication and answered all queries promptly. All staff were incredibly helpful on the evening of the event.
About The Old Library
Part of the Zellig Group, the Old Library has been in operation since 1990. The original library first opened as one of Birmingham’s 5 free libraries in 1866, it is now the only one still standing. The public library’s doors closed to the public in 1940 and remained closed until 1990 when the dilapidated space was bought alongside the Bird’s Custard Factory and lovingly refurbished by Bennie Gray.
