WOW! What a venue!

I recently held a networking event at Strictly Smartz, attended by over 50 women, and i cannot express how impressed we all were with the venue!

Upon arrival and set up, we realised that the booth seating was not suitable for our presentation, given the projector we had brought. Instead of panicking, the staff promptly assisted by providing additional chairs to accommodate our needs. Their support was unmatched and I am incredibly grateful for their help.

The venue itself is incredibly spacious, we had over 50 women there and we were all able to move around comfortably. We also found that the venues climate control was brilliant, everyone felt comfortable throughout the evening - a problem we often encounter with other venues whereby the ladies are either to hot or to cold, Strictly Smartz was perfect.

I couldn't recommend this venue enough to my friends and family and to anyone who is considering using this venue.

Best wishes

I would like to thank Carole and the staff at Strictly Smartz for helping make my 60th birthday a fabulous and memorable one. There was plenty of space for all my 100 guests at the venue and lots of seating for the older guests that attended. The staff were very helpful with setting up for the evening, offering decorative candles for the tables and sparkly tablecloths to brighten up the venue. Thank you Carole and the Team a great night was had by all.😃

We hired this venue for my daughter's 16th birthday. Carole was extremely helpful in arranging & the venue itself was perfect for the party , ample seating, lights , sound system & air conditioning. There is also a bar available but obviously not needed as it was a 16th birthday. Everybody was so helpful, so a big thank you to Carole , Peter & Cherie .

Have just booked this venue for my 40th Birthday next year. Carole is extremely friendly and was very helpful when we met her to have a look round.

You appear to get a lot for your money including lighting, sound system, and staff to run the bar for the evening (who also will set up and close down on the day of your event). Carole even has contacts for a variety of other services should you want balloons, DJ etc. Great customer service on her behalf!

Really looking forward to my party next year!
