50th Birthday Party · 100 guests

Everything. There is nothing I can fault. From the moment I enquired and speaking to Jacob, the level of professionalism was top tier. Jacob was super helpful and always happy to answer questions, going above and beyond to assist with my mums party. My sister went to view the venue and was so pleased with how friendly Jacob was and his willingness to bring our vision to life. On the day of the event Mitch was amazing, very reassuring and friendly and ensured everything ran smoothly. The guests were so pleased and everyone ran seamlessly. The venue itself was gorgeous! The decor was spectacular and everything we asked for was delivered. Cannot have asked for a better experience!

Service. Venue. Location. Jacob is super helpful.

Some issues with the music on the night. It did not work to begin with, but was fixed. Barmen should have offered remaining free drinks before charging guests. ..
