THE SQUARE TOWER, PORTSMOUTH, HAMPSHIRE.
"PERFECT VENUE & PERFECT HOSTS!"
Tripadvisor Review - 5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013
Amazing! You don't really know what BRILLIANT customer service is until you've had the pleasure of dealing with people like this, seriously!
We hired The Square Tower as a dinner venue following a sailing regatta we held for our staff to celebrate our business' 10th Anniversary.
From the word go, there was nothing that Stephen, Julia, Lyndsay and Tom weren't prepared to do to make our event a roaring success.
In our case, this included taking deliveries for the event at their home address in the week prior to the event, buying helium gas
cannisters and inflating balloons for us, decorating the venue from tip to tail with bunting, pom-pom garlands, candles, and table
centrepieces (including arranging flowers in vases) with minimal direction from our side. The team seemed to thrive on every
challenge we threw at them, and wouldn't let us apologise for any last minute changes, saying instead
"we love this sort of thing - it's what keeps it all exciting for us!".
The venue itself has a wonderfully warm atmosphere; it's breathtaking but still manages to feel cosy.
We had around 55 people in two long banquet style tables, and a band on the same level - it felt completely the
right size for what we wanted to do.
We've had only positive feedback from our staff about the dinner venue and service. I would DEFINITELY recommend this as a perfect
Christmas dinner party venue or wedding reception venue.
The team are hugely experienced, but won't force their ideas on you; if you get stuck, they'll find a way to make it work.
We're SO pleased we chose this venue. If we could, we'd come back every year!
