Testimonials

Thank you for setting up the initial event for us last Friday; thereafter I would like to thank the people who helped me leading up to and during the event.

Everything went very well and all members of staff were incredibly helpful. Special thanks to Josh and  Kieran who were on hand to cover any requests in a most professional manner. The hospitality staff, led by Jill did a tremendous job and were much appreciated by all.

Shirley, RFCA

I wanted to thank you and the team for a great event we had last week. The event ran really well and everything was seamless. The feedback we have received has been great and my onsite team complimented your team so thank you!

Claire, Barclays

Thank you for arranging the event! Facilities were very good along with the support team on the day. Special thank you to Louise who was on hand to sort any questions or request we had, she was excellent and a credit to your team. I’m sure the BI team will look to use the facility again.

Calin, Biscuit International

We just wanted to let you know that everything about our day on Friday was perfect. We are so grateful to you, your team and all the hospitality and security staff who worked on Friday. We’ve had so many messages and phone calls about it being the best wedding people have been to and how everything at the stadium was perfect. The food was brilliant and the staff were just so attentive, it was lovely.

Joanne and Nick, their wedding
