Testimonials

Hi Roehampton Venues Team,

Thanks so much for all your help and support – the event was a great success!

I really appreciated how well your team supported us during the planning stages; everything was handled very smoothly. On the day of the event, the support we received on-site was excellent – it honestly couldn’t have been better.

The space we booked for the event was ideal, just what we needed. Catering was also excellent – both the quality and the delivery were spot on. Our guests commented on how clean all the event spaces were, which was great to hear.

In terms of accommodation, our guests were very happy overall.

I appreciate your efforts in making events more sustainable. I don’t have any specific suggestions at this time, but it’s great to hear you're actively working on this.

Thanks again for everything!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you again for all your incredible support – we had an absolutely wonderful time, and your help really made the planning process feel like a breeze!

The team was amazing throughout the planning stages. Julia, in particular, was fantastic – she answered all of my (many!) questions with such patience and gave us so much confidence that everything would go smoothly.

On the day itself, Julia and the team were always on hand, super attentive, and checked in on us regularly, which we really appreciated.

The space itself was perfect – bright, airy, and exactly what we were looking for. And the catering? Honestly, it went above and beyond our expectations. We received so many compliments from our guests!

Accommodation was also really well received – we had lots of great comments and no suggestions for improvement.

The venue was spotless too – very clean, with no complaints at all. And transport-wise, guests found it easy and accessible, which was a huge plus.

The whole team agreed that we’d love to come back and use Roehampton again for this event if we’re able to secure funding.

Thanks again for everything – you really helped make it a great experience!

Warmest wishes,

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. Highly recommend for a work-stay venue close enough to central London to do business, without the frenzy.

The event absolutely met the main objectives we set for our team. The format and environment were spot on and perfectly suited to fostering networking and relationship building. It created exactly the kind of atmosphere we were hoping for — in fact, it couldn’t have been better.

From a venue and service perspective, the experience was excellent throughout. The planning process was seamless the team was consistently responsive and often one step ahead of our needs. On site support was equally impressive, with a genuinely friendly, professional, and highly hospitable team who made everything run smoothly.

The event space itself was perfect for our requirements, and the catering was fantastic across the board. The healthy lunch options were particularly appreciated, dinner was exceptional, and breakfast exceeded expectations with a great variety, including hot options.

Finally, the accommodation was very well received. Guests were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms, which were not only comfortable but also immaculately clean.

Overall, a fantastic experience and a very successful event.
