October 2018
The venue's appearance is stunning and quirky, which is why we chose it. Also there is huge flexibility to take up as much or as little space as you need for your party using different areas or studios and to arrange a band, food, bar etc how it suits you. Sylvia was very helpful and accommodating throughout and oversaw every detail on the day so we could just enjoy our own party. Guests loved it.
In an absolute fluke it was over 20 degrees in the middle of October and one of the studios was too hot. In the summer this would already have been taken into account.
