50th Birthday Party · 100 guests
Everything. There is nothing I can fault. From the moment I enquired and speaking to Jacob, the level of professionalism was top tier. Jacob was super helpful and always happy to answer questions, going above and beyond to assist with my mums party. My sister went to view the venue and was so pleased with how friendly Jacob was and his willingness to bring our vision to life. On the day of the event Mitch was amazing, very reassuring and friendly and ensured everything ran smoothly. The guests were so pleased and everyone ran seamlessly. The venue itself was gorgeous! The decor was spectacular and everything we asked for was delivered. Cannot have asked for a better experience!

He responded quickly and was so helpful, a real pleasure to work with. Totally put our minds at ease. The day was seamless, all staff were fantastic. The food was great and everyone had a fun time! Thank you Jacob & co :D
