Terrible horrendous wedding venue…read more Recently attended a family friend wedding Mic is broken, they make false promises to get your money Sound system is cheap and sounds blurry You have to use your phone to connect, laptops dont work ever Toilets are tiny, next to kitchen in same corridor No equipment actually works Broken plastered walls, cheap flooring on stage, looks mangled and a trip hazard. Food service is 3-4 hours long and slow Manager is a total ghost and once you have paid, they do not care

i wish I could rate zero and I also wish I read the reviews before I went with the venue. The…read moremanagement and staff are beyond incompetent and rude. Do not book your wedding here. They will ruin your day. The security guard was the only helpful person on the day. In fact, he was the only one present on the day from morning to night. I was promised that haider, one of the staff members would be present to help, but he was not there and would not answer any phone calls. I had to go through the office entrance which according to security wasn't supposed to be open, as there was no one to let me in and there was no one answering the phone. My registrar had to get hold of a signing table as they had forgot to put one out for my civil ceremony. when confronted about this, I was told by haider that i didnt tell him I was having a civil, even though I have clear written and verbal proof that I did in fact tell him, I'm having a civil ceremony at 12pm and need a signing table. When confronted, bilal was rude and told me I am blackmailing him when I asked for a form of compensation. They are fraudsers and scammers. Do not go with this company for your wedding.

If you happen to be strolling through Richmond Park and feel the need to sit and enjoy a quiet…read morecoffee and piece of cake, this is the perfect place complete in its own gardens with breathtaking views over London. Life gets no better than this! The grounds of Pembroke Lodge are a fabulous addition to the park, and there is also a memorial bench for Ian Dury at Poet's Corner. If you fancy a little cultured learning whilst sipping your coffee, the bench is solar powered and you can plug in your headphones to listen to a selection of his music and his Desert Island Discs interview. Both the upstairs and downstairs are is available for hire but you may sill have to share it by the other folk enjoying their coffee! Absolutely stunning venue which must be visited.

Ah this is a special little place. Fancy a cuppa and some cheesecake in a Georgian Mansion? Yes…read moreplease! There's lots of seating inside, but i normally opt for outside because the views are just so darn stunning! If you head up to the highest point within the park you can see St Paul's Cathedral through a telescope (from King Henry VIII's Mound). I was impressed! There is also a thatched house within the grounds, which is home to Princess Alexandra, who is a member of the British Royal Family (the youngest granddaughter of King George V and Queen Mary). Richmond park is such a wonderful place, this just makes it even more great! And it's so colourful at this time of the year...

Kew Palace (on the grounds of Kew Gardens) was once a much larger complex, but most parts were…read moredemolished by various English kings as time went by - the only part left now is "Dutch House" with its striking red facade. It is open to the public, but only accessible if you buy a ticket for whole Kew Gardens, and that ain't cheap: almost €20. But since the gardens are spectacular and will occupy you for hours on end, it's totally worth it. Dutch House is smaller than it looks from the outside, most rooms are quite tiny. Some are fully decorated with vintage furniture, but compared to other, bigger palaces around the country, this one comes off as quite modest (see pictures). Dutch House is more like a "summer hideout". A visit should take you no longer than 30-40 minutes. A charming volunteer (well, it was on my visit) will greet you at the entrance and provide basic instructions on how to explore the house. When it's raining, umbrellas must be left at the entrance or be put into your bag. As you work your way from room to room, floor to floor, you will get a good impression of how employers and servants lived and worked in the 17th and 18th century. It is informative without being spectacular. But Dutch House is surely one of the major sights within Kew Gardens (along with the larger greenhouses and the pagoda), so don't miss it during your visit.

A small palace built in the grounds of Kew gardens by a well known family (can't remember who it…read morewas!). It's an extra fiver to enter on top of the enterance fee to enter the gardens. The palace is small buts it's a fine example of a country house. Do look out for the attic bedrooms where the plasterwork has been removed to expose the skeleton of the building. There are also samples of fine artwork and furnishings. To save money consider purchasing a season ticket via the Www.hrp.org.uk which gives you unlimited access to Kew palace, kensington palace, the tower of London, Hampton court and banqueting hall for just £39 for single membership. A good deal considering the tower of London alone costs around £17 to enter.

We had constant issues getting in-touch with the guy who we booked our engagement with at Ashiana however when we did get through, we were re-assured it would be fine. Deposit was already paid so no backing out. However on the day of the engagement, the place was shut and the person (Ravi) who was supposed to get the decor ready for 9:30 was flat out drunk on the seats in the front of the venue sleeping. Finally once in, the bride-2-be had to get involved in getting the decor up - not something you want after spending 5 hours getting ready and already stressed about the event itself. To make things worse, the food was then late over an hour. Glasses ran out so plastic ones had to be used and when the bride/groom to be were to sit and eat at the end, half the dishes were finished. Several people also tripped on the dancefloor area due to no markings, one of them being a very elderly stroke vicitm. We also insisted the bar be kept shut down to the ceremony being religious yet it was opened at lunchtime - thankfully unaware guests of the request did drink outside - shame Ashiana did not have the same respect. Finally, we were promised 1 staff to tend per two tables, this did NOT happen and instead, family members had to end up serving water an basics to other guests. Food was also self-serv and not served as promised. We were recommended this place however will not be recommending ANYONE this place and a few friends have now backed out while they could in using this venue. If anything positive has to be said, inside is actually not too bad and guests did enjoy - shame about the management and staff.

The food was cold, bad service, may look good but it doesn't mean service would be the same. Do not trust them. Awful food, terrible uncooked meat. Stingy people act like cheap business and its run by two brothers. My in-laws were not happy with food shortage. I paid Azazi for extra 18 people still food shortage. Shocking and horrific, I had to get off the stage and serve my guest. I do not recommend this place. :(
