Awarded Best of Zola
The team at The Gala 417 was a dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, helpful and efficient from the moment we booked with them. On the day of, the coordinators were truly exceptional - I barely had to lift a finger as they took care of every detail, from the stunning, glamorous decor to helping pin the flowers on the groomsmen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ice cream bar was the perfect sweet touch to end the night. The Gala 417 provided incredible value and ensured our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
