How big can the hen group be?

We comfortably host hens from 6 to 40+. For larger groups we'll arrange a private area or full venue hire — confirmed on enquiry.

Can the bride choose songs?

Yes — send a request list when you book and the DJ will weave them into the night.

Is there a dress code?

Smart casual after 9pm. Sashes, tiaras and feather boas absolutely encouraged.

When should we arrive?

Arrival times depend on the night and venue. We'll confirm the recommended slot in your enquiry response.
