Kent House was a perfect venue, the catering
was commented on as excellent by everybody
I spoke to both after the meal and since the
party and the flowers were simply stunning and
so elegant. Throughout the night the staff were
discreet and smiling and were still smiling when
we were trying to send the last revellers on their
way. On top of all these accolades I must say
that the team was fantastic. I loved every single
minute of it. Thank you.‘
ACCENTURE

Our event was all very professionally organised
and I feel I got a great deal of support from
the venue manager. I was very impressed with all
the suppliers, the florist and AV companies were
recommended by the venue manager and I was
very pleased with those recommendations.
I chose Kent House because it best fitted our
location, budget and size requirements and
I felt we would be in good hands with Evolve.
I also had a good feeling about Kent House
which, I’m pleased to say was right!
Our venue manager was fantastic throughout
the whole lengthy process. I found the team
