Attention to every detail
We take pride in our flexibility and attention to detail, offering customisable layouts and state-of-the-art AV equipment, and even a retractable roof in the Atrium for that perfect ambience. Our dedicated Registration area, leading to both the Wolfson Hall and the Atrium, ensures a smooth welcome for your guests. Likewise, we work with a curated selection of professional vendors, including caterers, florists, photographers, furniture hire providers, live bands, DJs, entertainers, and production companies, to elevate your event further.

Georgina Bye, Business Meeting
Dedicated event coordinator
To ensure seamless communication, we provide a consistent senior point of contact throughout the planning process. Working with you and your event planner, Diane will coordinate every detail from start to finish.
For corporate gatherings, she can assist with arranging suitable layouts for presentations, breakout sessions, and networking areas. For social events such as weddings or gala dinners, she’ll help create the perfect ambience to suit your vision.
On the day of the event, whether it’s a business seminar or private party, a duty manager will be on-site. This allows you to focus on what truly matters – hosting a successful and memorable occasion.
"The venue looks stunning in all of our photos and videos! We were over the moon with the venue and all of your help. Thanks again,"
"A HUGE thank you from me and the family for a lovely Friday night dinner. The room looked beautiful with the flowers and Stu’s team was highly professional. The food was great and we had such a nice time together.
I’d highly recommend you to anyone who asks and am so grateful for your help in planning a very special evening for us. Thank you."
