We had a wonderful event at The Saw Swee Hock. It was easy to communicate and we received answers quickly. Communication was definitely high above average compared to other venues in London that we booked for similar events previously. When we arrived at the site we were met by three people that checked if everything was in place as we had imagined/ wished. They were also available during our event. So e.g when we needed more water or coffee that was fixed immediately. AV in the venue is extraordinary! Plug and play worked perfectly even though we had several presentations and everyone used their own device. AV support was on-site during the whole event. The sound system is really (!!!) good.
