The event was an absolute success and we really enjoyed ourselves, day and night. the staff were absolutely outstanding throughout the whole event. Friendly, extremely helpful and super efficient. The venue, and in particular the team working there played a massive part in the success of our Sales Launch so I can't say thank you enough!! We will definitely be looking to book again for future Product Launches in Manchester. Thank you so much for all your help throughout the booking and organisation process.."
Owen Laverty, Sprayway


"I have booked a number of different venue within Manchester, and have can honestly say it was one of the best experiences in terms of venues. I enjoyed the design of the venue, customer service was excellent, refreshments and lunch were fabulous and it was lovely to see happy employees who actually wanted to help. I would highly recommend your venue to others. Please, please make sure the standard remain high. The only thing I am sorry about is that I didn't actually book the venue myself so I can't take credit for the booking! Please thank your employees for me for a very pleasant meeting environment."
Wendy Allport, GMPTE


"This was a great venue.  Everything was exactly as specified when we arrived.  The room was most spacious exactly for our needs, as was the circulating area and plenty of coffee machines.  The design and decor is energising and uplifting, and the quality of the lunch provided very good indeed.  I would definitely use this venue again and recommend it to others."
Nigel Clements, The Deming Transformation Forum

"The team were very accommodating and helpful in advising the best way to run our rather IT heavy event. We brought in hired PCs for the event and they set everything up in advance. What was nicest about this was that it was offered to us, rather than me requesting it. The studio staff are wonderful. It is refreshing to go to a venue where staff are proactive rather than reactive. It makes my job so much easier to do.  "
Rachel Palmer, BCSC


"The day went very well. Please thank all concerned -the friendliness and service of your staff cannot be faulted. My delegates love the venue. By the way, congratulations on your recent award."
Stephanie Oyama, Japanese Business


"Dawn dealt with our initial enquiry and was excellent and very knowledgeable about the studio understanding quickly what we wanted to achieve. We visited the day before and met Becky your event manager and Richard duty manager and went through our needs and requirements, this was all ready for us on arrival at 8.30am the next morning, however our last minute changes we dealt with quickly and with no fuss by Mike.

The food was amazing and all timings worked perfectly. We would definitely use the studio again, it has it all, a great quirky venue, accommodating staff who know their stuff and deliver excellent customer service. The team made the event stress free and nothing was too much trouble. I've dealt with lots of venues over the last 5 years and The Studio has definitely been one of the easiest, friendliest and most professional"

Just a note to say a big THANKS for the lovely cake and card and best wishes on Tuesday. It was such a lovely surprise and everyone (but me especially) was really touched that you had made all that effort for us. As a colleague said ‘the sign of a really good establishment’. As you know I tried several venues in Birmingham for our regional meetings but chose the Studio for your facilities, location but most of all the staff who have always been so friendly and efficient. I thank you all and hope that I will be in position to use you again. I will certainly sing your praises to everyone I know! ”
Annette English - SEN West Midlands Hub


 “I can honestly say it’s the best venue I’ve ever used for an event! Every single member of staff that was there on Saturday was friendly, helpful and really made us feel at home and as if nothing was too much trouble.

Many of the delegates commented on the “awesome” venue, and the general view was that it was the best user group event they’d ever been to. ”
Jo Cherry - Digital Living Solutions

“Thank you for last week and the service from the team. The day went extremely well and the professionalism of your team certainly aided the experience.”
Matthew Gregg - GAP


“You have the technology needed for presentations, the rooms are very pleasant, clean and unobtrusively decorated. The buffet lunch was delicious and the breakfast muffins were a thoughtful touch much appreciated by those of us who had travelled a long way to get there yesterday morning. All the catering also arrived on time and the permanent availability of coffee, tea, orange and water gave us the desired degree of freedom to help ourselves, thus avoiding queuing."
Anne Hulme, Translations for Industry


“All the delegates really were impressed with the venue - so you helped make me look very good, which I appreciate!

I will genuinely be happy to recommend the venue to anyone I know of that needs facilities such as yours, and if you ever want a testimonial for marketing purposes, just give me a shout - I'll give you a glowing one because it truly was perfect for our event.
Jonny, WordCamp 2008


“Many thanks…the delegates were very impressed with your facilities, hospitality and fabulous food.”
Sarah Douglas, Cheshire Police


“Excellent service from beginning to end. Front of house staff very helpful and catering staff also very friendly and willing to help. Catering staff had an excellent knowledge of the food served with ingredients for two special diets which were catered for. The food and refreshments provided were of an excellent standard, far better than most 5 star hotels I have visited for this series of events. Rooms are outstanding, bright, airy and very welcoming.

The Studio is top of my list for all of our events which run in Birmingham, its just a pity you don't have Studios around the country."
Gillian Aird, NIACE


“We recently held a two day course at the Studio on 24th and 25th November and the facilitator, Hansa Patel-Kanwal OBE, asked me to convey her feedback to you.

Hansa regularly travels around the country providing training and speaking at seminars and said she has never encountered a venue such as yours.
The customer service was exceptional, your staff were incredibly respectful and efficient and the food was amazing. Some of the participants informed Hansa that were daunted by the content of her course but they said the warm reception they received along with the muffins and refreshments and the ambience of the 'relax' room immediately made them feel at ease, so your venue provides so much more than just a meeting facility.

Hansa said she would recommending this venue to her colleagues.
