Well done Groundlings Trust for the improvements.

What an amazing building. It has radically improved since the last time I visited the building. The new owners have vastly improved the interior to give it a sleak, modern look.
In previous times, I visited the building and I could compare it to a building site but as the "Trust" has taken over the operation of the building then I would like to congratulate them for taking on a mammoth task of renovations and improvements. I am glad that those who are looking after the building now is actually spending time and money to rebuild Groundlings up from the ashes. The previous owner did run the company into the ground and was on the verge of burning it alive. I have no clue what his intentions were but there was no way he cared for the building. Well done Groundlings Trust for raising the pheonix from out of the ashes.

We got married at the Groundlings a few…

We got married at the Groundlings a few weeks ago. The day was lovely however we have lost our security deposit from our caterer as the incompetence of the staff there has meant not everything has been returned to her. Also the correspondence while trying to sort it all out has not been very friendly. They have accused the caterer of lying and also our guests of stealing the items. We struggled to find a caterer who would work at the groundlings as it is blacklisted among wedding caterers in the area. We now know why. The wedding organiser has even left because of how badly the place is run.

Dear Natalie,

I am sorry to hear that you lost your security deposit but unfortunately you have been misled somewhere, the caterer could not provide us with an inventory of items brought to our venue neither did they check the items when collecting them. There is no evidence of either the cups and saucers ever being in the building in the first place nor that they went missing, it was just the caterers word. We still however continued to try and cooperate yet after much searching including of all staff members nothing was located and the decision was made that we cannot take liability for something when no fault of own can be proven. I am sorry you feel accusations have been made by us but the same has occurred to us with no evidence. The caterer is responsible for their own equipment and no steps were taken to make sure proper records were kept and the finger cannot be pointed at our staff when basic steps were not taken by the caterer themselves. I am more than willing to support you further with the caterer in order to receive your security deposit.

The departure of our wedding organiser again is misleading and was an organisation decision and we now have a different member of staff coordinating our weddings.

I am pleased that you said the day was lovely as a large effort was made by all staff to make your day special. If you have further issues that you wish to follow up with, please contact the theatre manager Tobias Robinson direct via the theatre and he can go into more details with you.
