"It made such a huge difference knowing we were in safe hands – it genuinely felt like you cared about making the event a success just as much as we did. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team to work with, and we’ll always look back on the evening with such fond memories. Thank you for helping us celebrate such an important milestone in such a memorable way."
“I use Lighthouse for an annual business event that brings in people from around the UK. It’s fantastic. People have spent years sitting in hotel function rooms and accepting that as the norm. When we are creative about the spaces we use, it gives everything a lift. When you blend the arts and business, you can create something lasting. Who doesn’t love sitting in a comfy chair, in a theatre, feeling part of a special occasion.”
“Having worked with the team at Lighthouse for the last 9 years, I have been hugely impressed by the services offered and the ease of working, from planning to delivery. Above all, the fantastic venue team provide a professional service with a personal touch that ensures the success of our events.”
