We booked the Emerald Hall on relatively short notice but Elmira was more than accomodating and very helpful through the entire process. She went out of her way to make sure all questions were answered and even took the time to show another room that may have been more suitable. The space itself has a professional and european architectural feel which was perfect for what we were looking for. During the actual day of the booking Elmira was again always very helpful and even took the time to setup the space before we even arrived. Definitely would recommend the space for anyone considering it for events, professional photoshoots, weddings or anything else - also thanks again to Elmira for the amazing service right from the start till the end aswell, cannot recommend highly enough.

Loved the central location and booking the venue was easy, payment via credit card and the name and number of a AV technician was given to me to liaise with on the day. Egor arrived early and was very professional and pleasant.
The kitchen.
