Giovanna and her staff were so helpful and communicative from the very start. We had been let down last minute and they were very so brilliant at accommodating us. We just had the best night. Everything ran smoothly and security were so vigilant.

Nothing at all!!!

Kind and wonderful staff. Perfect venue for a party: lights, music, bar. Had an absolute blast here for my 80’s themed 30th. Everyone commented on how good the venue was for it.
