Wedding · 30 guests · May 2025 · The Branch

Perfect for our internet wedding, extremely helpful staff from managers to bar staff. We had our own bar that was well run. Clean room and nothing was too much. They were happy for us to move things around and we gained access the night before which made the wedding morning so easy. There is a lift if you ask to use it we had grandparents and prams.

No toilet on that upper floor and therefore had to go down 3 flights of stairs.

Room space was good. Staff great.

Our room was not ready for our booking time. Guests arrived to the table being set. We helped the staff to move tables for set up. Which was a bit disappointing. There was still a bit of a mess from the last group on the floor
