• "Only thing I would change is that when it's hot like it was for the wedding, there is no shade in the middle of the decking area as its a little sun trap apart from that no complaints."
• "One of the worst experiences ever. The room was under the roof, all walls at varied angles, floor very uneven, felt like being dizzy all the time."
