- BBecky09/03/2019A perfect wedding venue!A perfect wedding venue!We had the wedding of our dreams here! A perfect place for our winter wedding in February. The beautiful ballroom is perfect with high ceilings and incredible skylight windows. They put uplighters all the way along the balcony which lights up the whole room with your theme colours and a canopy of fairy lights between the balcony so you can dance the night away under a canopy of stars!! The food was exceptional and everyone commented on the spacious venue and incredible food. We loved our day! There is no silly signing fee that you get with lots of big venues in this area - we had a top quality day in a stunning town hall with perfect food. They made the day run so well and seamless!
