The Metropolitan were very relaxed which suited our wedding as we didn't want anything too over the top. The ceremony was in front of the arch window which was a perfect back drop for us. I loved the wall paper on the wall of the venue and we took so many beautiful shots in front of the wall. In terms of food the venue were great as we a lot of vegetarians and vegans and they were able to cater to everyone.

Our after-wedding cocktail party was a perfect success! We were given more space to occupy than I originally thought we would have, our guests loved the food, drinks, venue, AND staff, and everything just went off without a hitch! Special thanks to Belinda who really was instrumental in helping me figure out what we wanted for our party - she helped me figure out the menu and drinks AND was so accommodating and understanding with me when I was having trouble finding time to meet up with her in person to iron out details! I would highly recommend holding functions here - I will definitely keep the Metropolitan Hotel in mind for our next party!
