Testimonials

Feedback and Frequent Clients

We want to again express our greatest gratitude for how you helped us running the Info+ conference. People loved the venue and the way things worked. Thank you so much for always being around to help us with technical issues and extra request. Thank you very much, you were a huge part of the conference!

Information+ Conference

Each of you at EUSA and the Pleasance contributed something unique and essential to the day, and it truly wouldn’t have been possible without your support. From venue visits and setup to managing technology and ensuring everything ran smoothly, every detail mattered. Your teamwork and assistance made it all happen.

The feedback from attendees has been fantastic, with many positive comments about how well-organized and engaging the event was. This success would not have been possible without your commitment, flexibility, and positive attitude. Thank you!

MasterCard Foundation

Just wanted to say thank you so much to you and all the staff at Pleasance over the weekend for making the shows run so smoothly. The organization was amazing, and the tech team did wonders with the lights and music! It was wonderful to see it on stage, all the kids and parents really loved it.

Dance School Performance

Many thanks to you for steering me through the booking and organisation beforehand and to Lucy and the other staff members who assisted on the day. Several folk commented on the Cabaret Bar being ‘just right’ for the occasion and quite a few who had only seen it as a Fringe venue were very pleasantly surprised at how bright and spacious it is. It was good to be able to invite people to an accessible venue and more than one person commended the good facilities and also the cleanliness of the toilets.

70th Birthday Party

I am delighted to say the party last Friday was a great success. My guests loved the venue and mentioned how friendly the bar staff were. Special shout out to Rosie and Kai - they went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. The red carpet was a real talking point, with some of my guests being video-ed as they walked on it! Thank you to you, too, for making it all happen.

Disco Party

It was a huge success – thank you so much to you and the team! A really big turnout, fantastic speakers and the space was ideal for what we wanted to do with the event. As an event all about queer lives and experiences – it was also great to be in space that is proactively queer inclusive!
