Questions
What guests say
3 guest reviews · Porto
Half the guests were my partner's colleagues and I was bracing for the usual polite silence. Twenty minutes in, everyone was accusing everyone. The structure does the social work for you, which is exactly what I was paying for.
Brilliant, but it's a real three and a half hours and it doesn't rush. If you've got people who fade early, warn them. We had one guest leave before the reveal and she was gutted the next day. Everything else was seamless, right down to the dietary stuff being handled without me asking twice.
I had it wrong. My wife had it wrong. One of our friends called it in the first half hour and spent two courses being told she was being ridiculous. The staging in the room — the lighting, the moment they kill the music — is done by people who know what they're doing.
