⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I booked The Green Room at Mavern for my sister’s 40th and the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. The booking process was really easy and communication was smooth throughout.
On the night, Niamh behind the bar was amazing, she looked after us most of the evening and even helped us move the cake in and out of the fridge to stop it melting, which was such a lifesaver. All the other staff were lovely too and kept checking in to make sure everything was okay.
Would definitely recommend the venue and team they made the night stress-free and special!

Everything was handled super efficiently and smoothly, replies came back instantly. Couldn’t recommend Megs more highly to organize any special occasion. The Maven is a fantastic venue in the heart of Leeds, so made it easy for guests to commute. Very private in the room and fun photo booth downstairs. Highly recommend for any parties or events
