Meeting · 35 guests · September 2026 · Café

Natalie was incredibly friendly and helpful. Her response time was efficient and gave useful suggestions. The venue was ideal for what we used it for and gave the perfect atmosphere. We hosted around 30 people and it fit us well.

At times it did get a bit warm, there is air conditioning, but we weren’t completely sure how to increase and decrease. A pamphlet with that information would be useful. The venue is reasonably priced but the extra add ons do bump it up a bit, so worth considering depending on how long you require the venue for
