Corporate Event at Westminster Abbey Gardens

Westminster Abbey Gardens is a particularly special venue that Bovingdons are privileged to work at.

Westminster Abbey Gardens is only available to hire for a few short weeks during the summer. Not only does this ancient venue have such incredible character but it has hands down the most impressive location in London, right in the shadow of Big Ben, footsteps from the seat of British power.

One company making the most of this unique and unusual venue was GMT Communications who held their 20th Anniversary celebrations in the cloisters and gardens. Here are some photos from the event taken by Lloyd Dobbie...

  

"The best corporate function I have ever attended"

Photos soon, in the meantime, here are some thank you letters from one of our corporate clients who held their anniversary event at Westminster Abbey Gardens last week...

Hi Julie

I wanted to say a huge thank you for everything last night. Feedback from guests has been excellent. So many people sought me out to thank me last night. Everyone commented on the food, the drinks, the service, the immaculately turned out waiting staff, the flowers, even the loos!

The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, which is just what we wanted.

I’ve attached just a couple of the notes received this morning, I think they speak for themselves. 

I’m sure I’ll be in touch again for the next shindig, but it’s going to be hard to top that!

Thanks again. 

J 

And here are some of the thank you letters SHE received from her guests!
