Hi there,
My fiancé and I are planning our engagement party for mid-July. We have a guest list roughly confirmed and would like to book an area for 30-35 people.
Now the venue. Most of us are between late 20's and mid 30's. We want it to be fun with nice, mainstream-ish pop/dance/house music in a venue with a bit of glam, especially nice décor, nice friendly staff and where we won't be likely to witness fighting/too rowdy behaviour from other parties, not so loud music that we cannot hear each other talk and not too expensive or if it is then it's at least worth it...
I know our list of criteria is long... I've thought about Dirty Martini and Mayfair Exchange (worried music will be too loud), Beach Blanket Babylon Shoreditch (apparently rather rude staff and expensive for the sake of it), Golden Bee Old Street (read of some seriously rude staff incidents and the food is just sushi which am not sure most people will like)...
Most pubs I've come across seem too simple (we have guests joining from abroad and we'd like it to be a good first experience of London for them).
Has anyone here had any good (engagement) parties and been impressed with the venue or know of good venues otherwise that meet the criteria above?
ANY tips would be amazing, we only have 2 months to go so need to get a move on, eeek!
Thank yoooou!
