We used 8 Northumberland Avenue as the venue for our Wedding reception on 25 august 2018. I had originally booked and confirmed with another venue but upon stumbling across this venue, and realising they had our date free, I leaped at the chance to change our venue, and I can say, it was the best decision we made (other than using Preeti Catering as our caterers). The venue is so beautiful!!! the lighting, incredible and the staff there, amazing! We had Natasha who confirmed our booking who was amazing to work with and Ellie our events manager for the evening. Ellie was superb!! Super proactive and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding reception exceeded our expectations and created our vision and more!!! Our coach we had arranged for the guest ended up breaking down on route to collect the guest and Ellie leapt in to ensure guest were seated (for those elderly and not able to stand for long periods of time) she ensured they were sheltered and made the issue her own even though she was not obliged to do so. She was so proactive in also helping us with a car parking issue we had (not 8 northumberland's fault, but rather the car park themselves). Ellie was calm, cool and collective and managed to sort the issue out for us. This venue will always hold a special place in my heart, anyone looking to host an event, 8 Northumberland Avenue will not disappoint. From the wall tvs which you can personalise along the corridor, to the cloak room and its amazing staff, to the lighting production team (Blue Hut!, also amazing!) to the Chivari ghost chairs, everything spot on!!! We will forever be grateful for the service we received at this venue. Best wishes, Sarah
