Christmas Party · 30 guests
· December 2024
The place is nice for a stand up and mingle event. Staff is nice and helpful.
We have been told that there will be a DJ.
On the day, turned out that DJ will be placed in the same area with us(that took some space from the floor for our party)
Although the lady was lovely, the music she played wasn’t (it was jumping from modern songs to old Christmas song) without any logic.
Everyone in our group noticed that music could have been better for a Saturday night.
