I booked a full table for a group of friends at the Bristol event on Sat 4th December. In the run up to the event was painful trying to get everything sorted with best parties. We had to ring a number of times regarding a number of issues. Each time we rang we were given different answers.
Anyway on the day we headed for the event with fairly low expectations! On arrival we went to our table. We had pre ordered buckets of beers & ciders and a prosecco on ice. We got to the table, we had a bucket with 20 warm beers, no cider, no ice bucket and no bottle opener! The prosecco was warm in an empty ice bucket!
My husband went off to the bar to get this rectified. This took 30 mins, he returned saying bar staff refused to give ice as they didn't have enough ice. They couldn't give him a bottle opener and the time at the bar was due to faffing about trying to swop some of the beers for cider (which we had ordered)
I was annoyed at paying about £40 for a very cheap, warm prosecco. The event decor was pathetic, some of the decorations hadn't even been put up properly. The show and performers were pointless for us as we were furthest from the stage and couldn't actually see or hear them!
The canapés were about the size of a 5p. I asked if we could have a plate to share on the table (12 people) they said no and were carrying plates around multiple tables offering 1 at a time, we couldn't believe that in a pandemic. We had been sent an email saying they would be spacing the tables out due to the recent increase in covid cases, this would have been impossible in this venue, so we were lucky our table was in the back corner. You could literally touch the people on next table. This didn't appear covid safe either.
Food-
Starter and Mains were actually ok, but 1 of my party has intolerance issues, she asked the waiter if she was being given the correct dairy free plate, waiter responded they had no idea! Most of our table didn't receive any form of dessert. 1 of the party said she was given half a doughnut. The casino was so small and packed we couldn't get to it.
We paid just under £1k for the party of 12, 2 beer buckets and 1 warm bottle of prosecco. Frankly with that sort of money we could have had something much better.
All that said we did have a nice time catching up with friends. But my advice is save your cash, we certainly won't be booking a worst party event ever again.

What a perfect night out after the last two years we have had. Venue looked fantastic. Great addition of the QR codes. Could not fault at all.

Went to King's Meadow in Reading with a group of friends, a lovely evening was had by all! Great addition having QR code to order to table.

Bang average really.
Venue was grand - marquee mocked up to look pretty good.
Staff were polite, however they were still getting on the job training web we arrived, which wasn't confidence inspiring.
Drinks were ok, although they ran out of a couple of the cocktails within the first hour which seems a bit poor. Food was decidedly average, even a little underwhelming in some areas.
Entertainment was decent, but not an awful lot of it. The fact that they charged extra for some things seemed a bit of a rip-off given the cost of tickets.
In summary, ok event. Nice to be out socialising given how the past year or so has been but not really worth the money.

Having booked and fully paid for our Company event which is planned to take place in farnborough on 3rd December 2021, we decided at the last minute not to attend due to concerns over the new Omicron Covid variant and rising infection rates. Zoe handled our concerns in a professional and understanding manner.

Terrible Beware
All parties have been cancelled but they are refusing to refund the deposit. I understand it hard times for all. Best Parties Ever will not refund they keep say will transfer to next year but we do not want this.

we have been going to these events for a few years and they have been really good, however last Christmas i could see the standards had dropped. we went to the one at Farnborough and it seemed they had cut costs massively. the entertainment was not good, seemed like they just rehearsed that day. The buffet food given out at the beginning of the night was practically non existent- very lucky to get any as so many people and not enough food. the main meal was not nice.. seemed like food you would get on a aeroplane.
real shame we had a bad experience as the years before had been so good.
we will be doing something else this year for our Christmas party.
I had such an amazing experience at the Maidstone Christmas Party last year! The theme was amazing and created such a wow factor in the venue, especially the giant presents! All the staff were so friendly and fun which made the night run smoothly. I could not fault a thing and have already rebooked, I cannot wait to see what magical experience Best Parties creates this year!
Company brought us to one of these as our work Christmas do. Had a really good time, the entertainment was fantastic and the staff were great too!
Attended a works Christmas party at Mercedes-Benz World at the beginning of December, was an amazing night, couldn’t fault it from the food to the entertainment! The staff were very helpful when booking and were more than happy to help me with any questions I had. Had heard good things about the parties before going and it definitely lived up to expectation.
Attended the Christmas party at Mercedes Benz World back in December! Was a wonderful experience, we were sat right at the front and the show was incredible! The bar staff were very helpful and were working incredibly hard to make sure there was no queue! The wait staff were amazing and paid attention to my dietary requirements! All the staff were very helpful in the office when booking! The ice cream was incredible and really fun to watch! 10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone, just overall a really good event.
I booked the paint works at Bristol for our Christmas party just gone 2019-2020. We had an exclusive party for around 250 of us. The whole night ran smoothly and I cant thank the manger Molly enough for all her help, planning, organising, I literally had not to worry about a thing!
The entertainment and the food was fab and our whole team loved it!
We cant wait to return this year and already have the date saved for a rebook.
I attended the event in Dublin harbour this year, it was so much fun, undeniably the best Christmas party I’ve been too! We have done the bars and restaurants previously but myself and my team all agreed this is the best night and value for money! We all dressed up and felt so special! We have already booked for this year! Can’t wait! ‘
Never been to a night like it, loved the bumper cars
My work loved the bumper cars and the donut wall 🍩 Thanks for a great night
I was a bit sceptical attending this event as I had seen some mixed reviews, but I can safely say - do not believe everything you read! I didn't encounter any problems on the night, staff were well mannered and attentive, music and dance floor was fun and the entertainment was great! What more could you ask for?
I would definitely attend another as it was a really great night.

Been going to the weybridge one for last few years and though the food was a little late and it was slightly under staffed, we will definitely be going back. All in all a good night and a well run event

I went to the “best parties ever” for my work Christmas do and it was so much fun! Brilliantly organised, lovely food, great entertainment and particularly loved the Dodgems, great staff bonding. Would highly recommend.
