Engagement Party · 100 guests · August 2026 · Full Venue
We had our engagement party at Little Fires and were in touch with Abbie all throughout the planning process. She couldn't have been more amazing with helping us bring our vision to life. With us living in Italy, it was difficult to physically do a lot ourselves, but Abbie truly took control and did everything for us and when we arrived at the party and saw everything for the first time, we were blown away! The way everything had been set up was beautiful. The attention to detail was fabulous. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff were so attentive and kind. We also had a vinyl DJ downstairs who created such a fun vibe with music that was completely to our taste. The venue itself is aesthetically stunning and there's such a good flow from room to room. All of our guests couldn't stop complimenting the venue. Abbie went the extra mile with helping to make it as personal as possible, so she had menu's designed with our initials on. My mum had also organised decorations and a cake, which Abbie also helped with and kept it all a surprise. We truly were absolutely over the moon with how the night went and we couldn't recommend Little Fires enough in general but especially for an event! Thank you to Abbie and everyone at Little Fires, you made our engagement party so special!

Love the staff service, quality of food, vibe of the venue, house music. Efficiency. Great place for taking photos also.
We were told a few times both over email and in person that we would have access to an iPad and would be able to choose our own music. During thr event we were told we had to wait until guests upstairs cleared out a little first. This never happened and neither did the access to an iPad for music choice. I sold the event to my colleagues Ams this was a small feature they were excited about that wasn’t fulfilled otherwise everything was perfect.

Little Fires is a fantastic venue. The space had a great atmosphere, felt stylish and welcoming, and the team was friendly and helpful throughout. The food and drinks were excellent, and the whole experience felt really special and well put together. Our guests had a great time, and it was the perfect setting for a fun and memorable celebration.
Honestly, very little. Overall it was a great experience. If anything, as the venue grows in popularity, making sure service stays consistently smooth during busy moments would make it even better.
