Testimonials

We want to express our gratitude to you and your team for providing us with a beautiful venue and excellent customer service during our ‘Business After 5’ event. The hall had everything we needed, and we appreciated the opportunity to showcase Archway Society and your new hall in such a positive way... Tanya, Archway Society for Domestic Peace, 2024

My husband and I had to change our venue a week before our wedding due to the fires. The stress we were under to change a year worth of planning in only a few days was terrible. This hall and the ladies changed all that for us. They were more than helpful, and they helped make our wedding day so special and beautiful....Sophia, 2023
