Dealing with every single step of the booking process was made so easy with the help of the lovely staff . I barely had to lift a finger and it was all organised! No request was too much or too hard and always done with a smile. The food was delicious and fresh and plenty of it. I can’t rate my experience any higher! 11/10.

Ken

We had a super event and it was really appropriate for a school function. Food and wine were great for price and dietaries were handled expertly. So grateful to SEG for their patience and professionalism working with us on a really fun school event. Parents and kids loved it.

The incredible, proactive team at Showtime Events transformed the venue into a stunning setting, exceeding our expectations in every way. Their AV partner, Scene Change, was outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our producer, Amy Smith, anticipated our every need before we even knew we had one, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The guest feedback was phenomenal. Everyone raved about the great food, exquisite wines, and the breathtaking surroundings.
