Booked Wee Tap at Hanover Tap, Edinburgh
5.0
The venue was perfect for my birthday party. Great to have plenty seating for everyone but still have space to dance! Room was all prepared and set up on the night. Staff were really helpful in the lead up and also during the event itself, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Booked Ollie's at Ollie's Private Event Space
4.7
Very good price and feature balance - there is great soundproofing so we brought a sound system for DJs until close, excellent! All staff was super on the night helped us get a big issue with our sound sorted via their DJ/engineer - massive thanks to Matthew who helped us on the night and after to collect items. I liked that there were various rooms it helped create an interesting flow to the evening. I had a decor mishap as my delivery got stolen, but in all honesty it didn't need very much at all. Would most definitely recommend to everyone for the price I don't think you can beat it

Booked The Other Room at Dragonfly Cocktail Bar
5.0
I had the best experience having my 30th at Dragonfly. The staff were so friendly and helpful, it was so easy to book and they were so accommodating. We had the most amazing time there and the staff very kindly held on to my presents and decorations to collect the day after. The bar staff , Harry, was so attentive to us all night and honestly it was just perfect. Thank you so much to all the staff at Dragonfly!

Arron was a fantastic help in making all the arrangements and, him and all the staff, were brilliant in making the night a success. Everyone was well looked after and loved this wonderful venue. I would highly recommend it and its wonderful staff.

Excellent venue in a very handy location! The room was perfect for hosting our hen party afternoon activities and all the guests kept commenting the same. Connie was very helpful and let us in slightly early to decorate. Would definitely recommend using this room for similar events.
