Can’t thank Poodle enough for having us for our wedding reception upstairs but here we are! The food, drinks, staff and spaces were all absolutely amazing, we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’ve had nothing but compliments from all our guests. Thank you for helping make it the most special night.
