Reviews for Manchester
I am planning my best friends hen now and we are going to use yourselves once we decide what activities we want to do.
Highly recommend this. Charlotte made my sisters hen do on the 7 September fun, we did the grease dance and when we put the whole thing together we looked amazing. Thank you Charlotte once again you did good. We are still talking about this after the wedding.
It was a fantastic Hen Do with lots of laughs , thankyou very much for everything ..it was all so straight forward to book aswell and everyone was really
helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending these guys at Funktion Events for any events such as hen parties , birthdays etc we had a blast!
We then went on to do a life drawing class. The male model Matt was also our host, the whole experience was a great laugh and he was such a good sport, no one felt remotely uncomfortable, it was just an afternoon of constant laughter!
I’d defo recommend both activities for a hen do with a difference!
