Testimonials

The Roehampton Venues team supported us exceptionally well from start to finish. The pre-planning call and regular email communication were very thorough and gave us real confidence ahead of the day. On site, everything was set up and ready on arrival, with the team adapting seamlessly when our guests arrived earlier than expected. The organiser and catering staff checked in regularly and were excellent, discreet and highly attentive throughout.

The event space was wonderful, with a great layout, plenty of natural light and reliable technology. Catering was outstanding and the cleanliness of all event spaces was excellent. While some guests found the distance from the station a little challenging, driving and on-site parking were straightforward and convenient. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Elm Grove is my favourite place to stay and work in London. With abundant green space and affordable comfort, it’s a really peaceful and productive place to be. From the Housekeeping staff to the Events Team, everyone is professional, helpful and friendly.

Our Family Day was an outstanding success, with many attendees describing it as ‘the best Family Day ever.’ Our primary goal was to create a fun and joyful experience for our Nandocas and their loved ones, while ensuring everyone remained safe and comfortable in the challenging summer temperatures. Thanks to the Roehampton Venues team, we achieved exactly that.
From the planning stage through to delivery, the support was exceptional. We have worked in partnership with Roehampton for several years, and their communication, collaboration, and willingness to bring fresh ideas continue to impress us year after year.
On the day itself, the team went above and beyond. Even in blistering heat, they were always available to help, respond to questions, and ensure everything ran smoothly. The venue is perfectly suited to our event, offering a convenient location, a secure environment for families, and a layout that allows activities to be spread across multiple areas, creating a fantastic flow throughout the day.
The catering team also deserves special recognition. Managing hydration for such a large event in extreme temperatures was no small task, yet they worked tirelessly to keep drinks stations fully stocked and guests well looked after. The BBQ offering was excellent and perfectly complemented our event theme.
We couldn't have asked for a better partner and look forward to continuing our relationship with Roehampton Venues for years to come.  - Carly Nandos!
