We had the most beautiful amazing night at the Tea room. It’s our wedding reception. During the planning process, Arabella provided extraordinary support to us. She always replied so promptly. Sometimes I sent out adjustments and inquiries at night. When I checked my phone at 9am in the next morning, she has already replied. She is so well organized and coordinated with all the suppliers for loading. Akshire (sorry I don’t know how to spell his name) was so helpful during the reception. He saved two cocktails and brought us lots of food because my husband said he’s hungry. We will definitely come back to enjoy the high tea.
The tea and dessert were enjoyable, but the service was mediocre. There was a fly buzzing around my sandwich, and when I pointed it out to the waitress, she simply said she didn't know how it got there since there were no open windows. Unfortunately, she did not take any action to address the issue, which really ruined my appetite. Additionally, the tea cup was not properly cleaned; it had tea stains on it. With a little more effort, those marks shouldn’t have been there. Overall, it was a nice afternoon tea in a lovely location at the Queen Victoria Building.
The service was friendly, and we loved the beautiful tea selection and delicious food. But for $55 per person, we expected a bit more - perhaps one extra sandwich or pastry? We had two finger sandwiches, two small pastries, and three small sweets (no scones, sadly). Additionally, we were not made aware of the time limit. After 1 hour and 20 minutes, we were given the bill and told we only had 10 minutes left. Hopefully, they can extend this to two hours. Also, the seating arrangements vary; there are low and normal-height tables. I found the low tables a bit awkward to eat at (perhaps, The low tables should have lower seating to accommodate).
The most perfect venue for our wedding! We had so many compliments on how delicious the food was from all our guests and the room was just beautiful - no need to add much styling! It was surprisingly a great price compared to other venues for how genuinely spectacular it looked and how luxurious it felt. Not to mention the QVB building - we loved all our photos and walking the building during the reception, it felt so special. Arabella and Carol were so easy to work with in the lead up and along with Akshay on the night, they made our wedding so absolutely perfect. Thank all of you so much! If you're considering the Tea Rooms for your wedding, we highly recommend.
WOW 🤩 A truly amazing venue to visit on level 3 of the QVB . Brilliant throughout although the restrooms are a fair distance down the hallway but who can complain about such a stunning architectural masterpiece. Waiting staff & catering was par excellence & you must visit this unique location at least once or many more times !
