Testimonials 

My brother and I want to say a huge thank you to you and your team for your fantastic organisation, attentiveness and kindness on Monday. The food was lovely, the room looked beautiful and we felt the overall ambience of the Basset Down was just right for the celebration of our dad's life.  We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know looking for event space in the future. - October 2022

I would like to say a huge thank you to you and your team at Basset Down for making the Celebration of Life for my Mum go so smoothly yesterday. It was a pleasure to work with you, from first coming to see the venue, to dropping off stuff to be laid out, and then to your being hands on yesterday making sure everything ran like clockwork.  We had a wonderful day, and everyone commented on how good the food and service was.  Thank you again. - August 2022
