“We had a fantastic 40th party at Stables on a Friday evening. Livvy was fabulous to deal with and made the booking process extremely smooth and stress free. Kim and Christina looked after us incredible well on the night and everyone raved about the delicious food and margaritas. The venue is stunning with the lovely hidden garden making it feel intimate then rolling into the gorgeous hills with the sunset. Perfect spot! Thanks stables.”
