I am writing this review in the hopes that it will help any event planners or businesses trying to decide whether this space will work for their important event(s). I highly recommend this space and rarely offer reviews, but feel this great find and service was top notch, so I should make the exception and leave an honest and thorough review. The space can fit 80 comfortably. I had 30+ attendees, plus 10 staff members, fully and comfortably seated, with a drinks table and the entire bar for buffet of breakfast and lunch. The rent was extremely good value and the space showed well for 30+ guests flying in, or driving in excess of 3 hours to take a VIP jewellery course with our company. I have posted clippits of the event and from this you can get an idea of the space. It is on our company instagram @StonesAndFindings and under CJX in the instastory highlight, and cap post on Nov 5th 2024: https://www.instagram.com/stonesandfindings?igsh=MXdxa2lzdHhmeTRocQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr While the listing has ample photos, you do not get a good sense of the layout and airiness that high ceilings and large windows provide; it feels far larger in person than through the photos. However, Andy was very professional and generous with his offered for us to see the space for 10 minutes to take measurements for planning. BYOB and outiside catering is allowed - without any hassle or need for them to make a cut; chairs and tables can be rented at ridiculously low prices to cover the cost of having someone bring them up the stairs! The sound system and large screen TV were excellent tools to have. I would definitely rent this space again, including for personal bashes. It is bright, versatile and has a cozy chic vibe.
