Beautiful and stunning venue, staff are an asset

What a beautiful and stunning venue. But the staff are a pure asset! My wedding was combined of two different cultural ceremonies with a reception/ party after. The city rooms were alert, professional, hard working and dedicated to making my special day simply amazing. The day from start to finish the staff were all hands of deck, the staff were there to support with our every need. Not sure how the day would have been so successful without them. Thank you for an amazing day, it was perfect. Special thanks to Lianna the wedding coordinator, because of you everything came together. You were just wonderful to work with xx

Beautiful venue and wonderful coordinator

We got married at the city rooms in August, we booked well in advance , upon arrival I was greeted by Carly , from the get go Carly was fantastic , nothing was too big or too small. I didn't even chase after Carly regarding stuff because I just knew she had it all in hand, our wedding day couldn't have run any smoother than it did, all the staff were so friendly and helpful , food was perfect so a big thank you to you all at The City Rooms for a perfect day. We cannot thank you all enough :)

We had our wedding at The City Rooms on the 2nd of September 2016 and we loved every minute, the staff were so friendly and helpful they honestly couldn't do enough for us.

Special thanks to Carly as she helped with all my stresses through the planning stages and emailed me answers to my questions quickly she was also a big help on the day making sure everything ran smoothly. Rosie was also a big help on the day in the evening making sure everything ran to plan and when things did go wrong (as they do) she was very good at sorting everything out. the room was amazing the bedrooms were lovely and the bath was big enough for an elephant it was great! everyone said how amazing the whole day was so thank you so much! Worth every penny!!

Perfect!

From the minute we entered the building we knew this was perfect, the grand ballroom and high standard of decor just added to our delight! All the staff were professional and on hand to help plan the finest details of our wedding day. Quality food at reasonable prices and served in such grand surroundings we couldn''t have wished for more!
