The venue is gorgeous and the staff are fantastic, Jessy was especially great to deal with leading up to the event and on the night. We’re already thinking of booking another event at this venue and highly recommend it to others that are looking for a special place to celebrate.
Hired LOLA for our engagement party turned surprise wedding. Such a wonderful venue, both indoor and outdoor spaces which was amazing having piece of mind incase it rained. Able to make my own grazing platter, and my DJ was able to bring their own equipment. Jessy and the bar staff were second to none, so accomodating and helpful, you could tell they wanted us to have the best time possible and went above and beyond to help in anyway they could. Highly, highly recommend!
The bartenders were lovely, no complaints, customer service, drinks, and atmosphere was amazing 10/10 would recommend. We were there for a 21st on Thursday night and it was memorable!!
Jessy, Audrey and the team at LOLA were amazing leading up and on the day of the event! Had my 30th at LOLA and it was the perfect venue for what I was after. Very spacious with lots of sitting areas as well as standing/dancing space, great bar service and bar staff, helpful with set up and very accomodating with bringing in our own external catering. They also let us tailor our drinks package to include everything we wanted. We had the best party at LOLA- highly recommend!
The team at LOLA made our wedding a night to remember! They were responsive and flexible in the lead up, helping us plan details. On the day everything went smoothly and communication/updates happened throughout the night. It was so much fun and we can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend the venue and team, especially Jessabelle!!
We had our wedding recovery at Lola last week. The staff were absolutely amazing in helping us organise and execute the event. Jessie in particular was so kind and helpful. We could not recommend this place and these people high enough. Thank you!
We LOVE Lola! We had our wedding reception at Lola and it was the most seamless experience of my life. The staff are absolutely incredible, no problem was too big for them! Not to mention how beautiful the space is! So unique and stunningly kept. I recommend Lola over and over again for any occasion, start to finish we had the best time planning our party.
This past weekend we had our engagement party at Lola. The venue blew my expectations out of the water. It was so beautiful! All of our guests couldn't stop telling me how amazing the space was. The bar was pumping out amazing drinks, and the venue organised for pizzas to be delivered for me.The bar manager Jessabelle was perfect. Anything you asked for was never a problem. She responded to emails quickly and with great detail, I was able to organise the whole event seamlessly. On the night she helped in every way possible, she built serving ware for me as I forgot the tool, she set up the space ready for when I arrived, she stood on the street and waved at all blue cars until I could find her (because I am terrible at directions!) She greeted my family like they were her own and she kept the night running with no problems. The whole team worked so hard and professionally.I could not recommend the venue, the staff and the experience with Lola more! Thank you so much for making our celebration so unforgettable.

From my initial email to saying goodbye at the end of the night, Jessie went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success and was very accommodating to all our requests!We got a lot of feedback from our guests that they loved the vibe of the venue. We hired all of Lola, and the three distinct spaces meant everybody was catered for - from those who wanted loud music to dance to inside to those who wanted to have quiet conversations outside.
