Birthday Dinner · 40 guests · November 2025 · The Burgundy Room
In accordance with our agreement, the venue was exactly as expected. The staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with the setup for our event, and the space had all the facilities we needed. The price was very good, and I would happily use their services again.
