Kim and Reggie did everything to make our event a success! Both are super friendly with excellent communication throughout. Venue was in a great location, with a huge selection of drinks.

Booked Channing Williams at The Union Club

5.0

Coren and the team were incredible at hosting our Christmas Party this year. The service was amazing, food tasty, drinks full flowing and we were made to feel very special in the Channing Williams room. Would definitely recommend!

Angharad G.

Booked The Drawing Room at The Marquis Cornwallis

5.0

I liked how versatile, beautifully maintained, and decorated the drawing room was, it was a perfect size for our party of 50 with plenty of natural light, and a bar of our own in the private room went down well. The food was great, wide menu choice for people with allergens, plate was well presented and a good portion size, served hot. The bar and waiting staff were attentive and helpful with a special mention and thanks to Kieran who was brilliant! Thanks

Sean D.

Booked Cocktail Cavern at Dirty Martini Hanover Square

5.0

The food and drink was exceptional. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The only negative was the DJ, he kept playing less then a minute of a song before ‘mixing’ it into another. It was very off putting. Also, when everyone is clearly loving Whams ‘Last Christmas’ don’t follow it up with Snoop Dogg. Everything else was fab though. Thanks

Tina P.

Booked Private Room at Vinoteca Marylebone

4.8

The venue is really welcoming and quite unique having the private dining area in the wine cellar, the whole place had the perfect cosy Christmas atmosphere, with warm and friendly staff and a wine selection of dreams
