Amazing Reception place for a Wedding! Elegant, artfully decorated and almost Renaissance like in its beautiful high ceilings windows and Arches.

Attended an end of AFL event here. What a great space. Food,Wine Atmosphere all great. Staff were very friendly and nothing was a bother. A large number of A - Lister's attended the event and they all commented they had a great night. Only issue was near the entry, the poles holding up the velvet drapes had a protrusion that many guests bumped into, because the knot was hidden within the drapes?

This place will forever be meaningful as I was able to share, witness and celebrate a very close friend's special day saying 'I do.' Great design and layout. Friendly and professional service. A beautiful place. Thankyou 😊
