Corporate Party Testimonials

"From start to finish this event was a pleasure to organize and attend. Your floor manager was amazing and made my night worry free. All the food and the servers were excellent! Thanks for a wonderful evening."

"Our event last night was great. Thanks to you and the rest of The Academy of Spherical Arts Team."

"Thank you for another great event! The planning went even more smoothly this time as Andrea reviewed our requirements from last year and used them as a basis for this year. The space was once again just perfect – interesting and functional. We received a lot of compliments on the food and presentation which was great. The staff was courteous and very helpful. The only improvement I would make is to have people serve themselves from both sides of the buffet if possible. The line was quite long due to the size of our group. Many thanks for making our Awards day memorable and easy to organize."

"Andrea helped to make the event a great success. Her suggestions were on the ball when it came to food. The casino games were a hit and the venue once again met all of our expectations. This is our fourth time at The Academy, and I'm sure it won't be our last."

"No suggestions on how to make the experience better. I was very happy and impressed by the customer service level. I booked this event quite last minute and Andrea did everything she could to help me make my event better. From what I hear the food was great, the room was great, and I was most impressed how the Manager and the servers came to introduce themselves to us and ensure that everything we needed was taken care of. I will absolutely use your facility for future events. I have heard nothing but excellent feedback from Friday. Thank you again for all your help. Special mention to Andrea Burleigh who was excellent."
