The staff were so helpful and informative, even on the night - they were on hand to help. Venue was nice and clean, pretty surroundings and the uplighters we added to our booking were such a nice touch. I have nothing bad to say! Our corporate Christmas party went done well, and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!

We actually hired the Crypt under the Church and not the Church itself! Though both are excellent venue choices. The crypt space itself is beautiful - very unique with the arched ceiling. We loved the atmosphere it provided. Also gave off great acoustics! The green room is spacious and welcoming, kitchen access was great as could chill the drinks. All staff that I encountered were lovely, very very helpful and nice to partner with. The onsite team on the day were great - the stage was set up just as we wanted - huge thanks to Martin! The fact that it was a dry hire meant that it was great value for money in a very central part of town. Only issue was Majestic Drury Lane delivered the drinks very late - nothing to do with the Crypt but a warning to future customers - dont use them! I highly recommend this venue! We will be back!

Very minor point... The uplighters were not perfect for our lighting needs - but we managed to wedge them into place for the gig! Majestic Drury Lane really let us down. Use another vendor when having drinks delivered there.
