Just wanted to send a note to say a huge thank you to you and your team for Friday.
It was an excellent even that went incredibly well.
I have had fantastic feedback from the attendees who loved the food, the music and the venue itself.
Will definitely be interested in re booking for next year!
The evening went very well thank you. The room was set up when I arrived at 5pm which was excellent. The food was superb a lot of attendees complimented the menu chose which was very pleasing. The staff and your event manager was really helpful, it made for an enjoyable evening. Thanks for your support.
It was fantastic to once again work with you, I really do appreciate the flexibility and support in the weeks running up to the event.. I work with a lot of venues and trusting the venue team to handle our event is an extremely important part of the job, and I am so pleased to say that you have been more than outstanding on that – there’s a reason why we came back this year 😊
As for the actual event onsite, amazing effort by all staff, they were easy to find (sometimes very much not a thing in venues) and responded to any issues/requests very quickly and efficiently. I love that the unused wine during the drinks reception was handed out to the tables to enjoy during the dinner, and it truly felt like we were looked after!
Just want to say thank you for all your help leading up to this event and for the staff on the event itself. Adana and Katy were amazing as was everyone else, nothing was too much trouble and the event was a great success!
Thank you so much – we had a brilliant event. The whole evening was a huge success and your staff were amazing. Special thanks for Abdul (I think that was his name) who was the Dining Manager, he was brilliant and so accommodating with our last minute timing changes and also to the bar manager, he was equally brilliant. Everyone had a fantastic time and we would love to host another event with you ASAP.
The event went really well. Katy and Abdul were amazing. They were so efficient, reliable and flexible. Also, a thank you to the head chef who put together a vegetarian meal with no onion or garlic at the last minute due to an error from my side.
Thank you for all your help too with the pre-event logistics.
We raised £24k for our charity and it is going towards building a school in Africa.
Our team had nothing but praise for the team there. Thank you so much for accommodating our requests, we are looking at organising a few more events in the future, so I will be in touch with you soon. You guys have got yourself a repeat customer.
The event ran smoothly, and I want to express special gratitude to Sienna for her unwavering dedication to ensuring its success. She went above and beyond to maintain a professional atmosphere and cater to the needs of every delegate throughout the day. Sienna handled every request with a smile and warmth.
The evening went superbly well, due in no small part to the excellent staffing of the event. Many commented that the level of service was some of the best we have had. Particularly the waiting staff, but also the bar staff, were just so welcoming, engaging and professional.
I hope the letter from the King proves helpful in some way. It was nice that he name-checked the venue, which I don’t think has happened before. I actually have a copy of the covering letter sent by the Head of Royal Correspondence, but I think the King’s letter stands alone.
