Report
Very good Event Management service, really friendly and knowledgeable team who ran our event (450 guests for a Awards Dinner) very smoothly and nothing was to much trouble. They helped find a suitable venue and recommended the best catering to meet our needs and of course our budget! I would highly recommend and will be sure to be using Story Events again for our companies events.
