The team at La Di Da are so accommodating and welcoming! My whole experience was nothing but perfect and stress-free.

Barry has been a pleasure to deal with. We couldn't ask for a better venue with private bar; courtyard; DJ booth; indoor space and great atmosphere. The food and drinks package was on point; the staff made the night flow and all of our guests had a great time.
