Great experience at Apiary Studios! We were made to feel extremely welcome, and were permitted to use multiple spaces and a variety of furniture and props. The staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating and the space was perfect for our photoshoot needs. Highly recommend this venue!

Filming Location · 4 guests · February 2020
Great space, relaxed to work in.
When it began to rain there was some noise from the drain pipes in Studio 2 that we had to work around - this would only be a problem if your filming sound on your shoot.
