Testimonials

“I wanted to say how brilliantly everything went on Saturday – your team were absolutely fabulous, so welcoming and helpful throughout, and the Abbey Centre worked perfectly for us.

Thank you so much for all your support and help in the lead up and on the day. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without you, and it made such a difference knowing we were in such safe hands.”

Sarah Fox, The Listening Place

“We were delighted with how smoothly our event ran at the Abbey Centre. From our first enquiry, Gina was exceptionally professional and responsive, answering all our questions promptly and ensuring every detail was taken care of in advance.

On the day itself, the staff were welcoming, efficient, and attentive, helping everything run seamlessly. The technical setup — including sound and vision — worked flawlessly, and we received excellent assistance in setting it all up. The refreshments were plentiful and arrived exactly on schedule, which was greatly appreciated.

The venue itself was spotless and well maintained, and the facilities, including the ample and immaculate toilets, comfortably accommodated our 80 guests. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by both the venue and the outstanding level of service provided by the Abbey Centre team.”

A big thank you also to the catering team. They worked tirelessly all day and the food was delicious. The Abbey Centre provides an inclusive community space where everyone feels welcome. We will be returning!“

“Thank you so much for supporting us in hosting our Children’s Food Summit yesterday – the event went really well which was in large part down to you being a fantastic venue! We had lots of praise from attendees on the space and on the delicious food.

We were really pleased we could hold the event at such a lovely venue which is also doing such great work.”

Kate Howard, Sustain 

“Can I just say a MASSIVE thank you for yesterday! Such a brilliant venue, everything worked seamlessly, and the food was amazing!”

Claire Smith, The Fostering Network

“Our sincerest thanks to every single member of the team at The Abbey Centre where the Parker Morris Hall played host to the book launch for ‘There’s a Monkey on Your Shoulder’.

What a remarkable team, and perfect venue! The Hall was presented beautifully and worked wonderfully for our audience of 60+. Catering was exactly as we had requested with an array of pastries, hot baps and free-flowing refreshments throughout, so our thanks to the catering team for an excellent job done.

The Hall was perfect in every way and it meant a lot to me that we were able to celebrate a book that was written to help young people and adults, in a Centre that is so utterly committed to supporting the community. The staff could not have been more helpful and our eminent guests were thrilled with the whole event. Heartfelt gratitude to you all. I would highly recommend booking this venue for any event.“

Tana Macpherson-Smith, Author

We were over the moon with the venue and staffing provided and you all helped make it an amazing experience for us and the service users we support.

Please extend a special thank you to Jed who was a superhero on the day and helped make sure everything went to plan.”

Rebecca, Kalayaan

“I wanted to reach out to say a massive thank you for everything that you and your team did to make our Justice Conference such a success on Tuesday.

From the planning stages through to the day itself, you were fantastic to work with, and we really appreciated your responsiveness and flexibility. On the day, having a venue team that handled things so efficiently in the background made an enormous difference – everything from the room setup to the logistics on the day came together really well (special shout out to George for his help with all this!)

Please do pass our thanks on to the wider team, the feedback we’ve already received has been really positive, and we really appreciate everyone’s hard work!”

Beth Guard, Catch-22

“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done over the past few weeks to ensure our event was so incredibly successful. We loved your venue; Chef Gena was absolutely brilliant and wonderfully helpful. Lunch and refreshments were simply perfect.

Attendees rated the event very highly on our evaluation forms, which absolutely reflects how hard your team worked to ensure everything went so amazingly well. Special thanks to Georgina and Gena, and we’re hoping to see you again soon.”

Yvonne, Newbold Hope

“We recently used the Abbey Centre for our away day, and I can’t recommend highly enough the staff, catering and venue. We had some last-minute adjustments that were accommodated with no fuss, and a few uncertain days when the tube strike threatened to derail the whole event, but Georgina was absolutely fantastic and communications were always so professional. It is lovely to hear that there is some investment being made and improvements to the already fantastic facilities.

A big thank you to Georgina and her team who made the whole experience so easy and seamless, we had a great day.”

Helen, Government Legal Department

“I’ve been delighted to hold events at the Abbey Centre two years in a row now. Georgina has always been super helpful with booking arrangements over email and the facilities offered by the Centre are high quality, reliable and very good value for money.”
