Testimonials
From the moment that we arrived until the end of the event, the staff were amazing. The venue was very beautiful with a view of the water. The tables were reserved and set up very nicely for our arrival and the staff were so accommodating with every need. We even had a few girls who brought their little ones and the staff were so kind and helpful in accommodating with finding the best seating for them. The drinks were great and the bartender was very helpful in clarifying included drinks and coming around to let us know when there was still extra left on the tab. All of the guests at the event could also not stop raving about the food both the quality and quantity! I will definitely have future events with you if possible and would definitely recommend the event space to my friends for a personal event or host one there myself!
Thank you to all of your amazing staff.
I wanted to say an extremely huge THANK YOU!! On behalf of everybody that came along to celebrate, thank you so so so much! You guys were amazing to work with, easily accommodating, and your staff - THEY WERE AMAZING! Please do pass on a massive thank you to your staff that worked that night, everything went smoothly and flawlessly and it couldn’t have happened without them. A massive thank you to you guys and the Events team. Amazing to work with, talk to and you guys are easily accommodating.
Sails is definitely going to be a go to venue recommendation for years to come and we were so happy with our first experience with you guys!! We will definitely be visiting more after this. Other than that, truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for hosting us in celebrating a milestone birthday, despite the gloomy and rainy weather I guess it had decided to stop just for a few hours for the night, making it extra special.
