Booked The City of KidZania at KidZania London
4.9
Trying to explain in our communications leading up to the Xmas party that our employees would be going to a small town...to work... was tricky! But in the end we explained it's a place where Kids go to be Adults and Adults go to be Kids! Everyone absolutely loved it, you could see in their eyes as soon as they walked through 'Airport Security'. The staff were all very helpful, the activities were super fun, and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. What started as a ridiculous plan I was not sure anyone would enjoy, turned into our most fun Xmas event to date!

Booked Garden Room at TOLA
5.0
We hired the upstairs bar and terrace at TOLA for a leaving do for 65 friends. The event ran from 7pm-4am in December. It was the only venue I could find that was open this late. It is an amazing space thats been recently refurbished - the combo of outdoor heated terrace and indoor bar / seating is perfect for a drinks party as the smoking area is social and allows for a constant flow of people in and out in the same area. The downstairs part of the venue was open to the public for a separate night but access upstairs was managed with wristbands which worked smoothly. There are DJ decks upstairs which meant one of our friends could DJ and keep our event separate for the whole night. The team at TOLA were really helpful / friendly / professional / relaxed pre, during and post the event. Couldn’t recommend it enough!!!

Booked Mala Madre Events Space at The Last Talisman
5.0
Wow. What an incredible journey from start to finish. The best part about this experience was the amazing service. Cecile was so helpful in the planning and organising of the event, extremely responsive and had a very positive and friendly attitude which immediately made booking Mala Madre a breeze. The night itself delivered the same level of impeccable service with plenty of wonderful staff on hand to attend to (and even anticipate!) our every need. It goes without saying that the venue is beautiful and well positioned with great food and drink but it is the service that really sets this venue apart from the rest. DO NOT HESITATE TO HOST A PARTY HERE!!!

Booked The BSMT at The Ladybird Bar
5.0
The weekend just gone I hosted my 30th in the basement space of The Ladybird Bar. The security staff were polite, helpful and in good spirits. The manager was tentative to our every request, despite running the main bar and looking after us in the basement at the same time. The owner was also friendly, welcoming and even lined up some shots for a couple of us at the end of the party to thank us for being such good guests. As for the venue.. The sound system was great, the UV wall, lights and styling of the basement was also wicked. Even the retro console got loads of use by the guests, who have all informed me they had a great time too. All in all, Habib, Alvaro and the security team were great and I'd highly recommend hiring the basement bar for similar functions.

Booked The Library at The Alice House Queen's Park

I had my graduation party here and it was absolutely fantastic. The venue was beautiful and very spacious for 50 guests to dance, drink and eat! The service was incredible too, I was able to contact the manager on the days leading up to the event to make changes to the food and drink and it was always handled efficiently and friendly! The team on the day was also super helpful and welcoming towards me and my guests. They really made my dream party come true and have given me and my guests wonderful memories here.

Booked Birdcage at Bird of Smithfield

The birdcage itself was perfect as a venue. Lovely decor and perfect size with good ratio of seating to floor space. Felt cosy and spacious at same time. Glamorous feel to it with lovely blue velvet and gold accents. All guests at party remarked on how nice the venue was. Had its own bar and toilets. Staff helpful and friendly. Could just plug and play my own music. Great location as choice of 4 stations nearby and close to a couple of good hotels. Absolutely a perfect private party place!

Booked The Lounge at Floaty McFloat Face
5.0
I booked the venue to celebrate a surprise 22 birthday party for my girlfriend. The boat was lovely decorated with flowers, balloons and colorful lights. Everything went as expected or even better. We really loved the boat and definitely can't wait to celebrate again. Bel was very supportive and Eli was always available. Both were really nice and the service they provided was oustanding. I haven't seen another venue like this which provided so much flexibility to create your event. I would definitely recommend it.

Booked Whole Venue at Bermondsey Social Club

GREAT VENUE, LOVELY TEAM/ STAFF - you won't regret booking here! To be honest, there wasn't anything not to like - had a brilliant 30th birthday party! After my initial inquiry was unsuccessful as the venue had been booked over my proposed date, Theo (manager) took the initiative to get in touch again to let me know that it come free for my 30th birthday party date. He met me at the venue at very short notice and was only too happy to show me around and talk me through all the facilities. Theo was also great on email thereafter - checking in re. whether I wanted drinks on arrival, DJ equipment set up on the night etc. On the night itself, Jake and his team couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Jake himself held the ladder whilst I strung bunting from the lamps and were just a lovely presence all night - smiling and dancing whilst serving everyone. Maria was great on the door - we didn't have to worry about any gate crashers as she and her colleague checked everybody in on arrival.
