Engagement Party · 80 guests
We held our engagement party here and the whole evening was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were amazing and could not have done more for us! All the staff were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to come in early to set up and drop food off, as we did self-catering. I could not recommend The Wayfarer enough for any event and we will definitely be back in the future. All of our guests commented on how lovely the venue was and the amazing bar staff we had. Big thank you to The Wayfarer for giving us such a special evening.
