“Last weekend I had my 40th birthday party on the 'Golden Sunrise'. What a fantastic event and this is all down to the great crew, great DJ and of course the company in planning and executing what I needed. ”
Rick, Golden Sunrise, 14th November -
“A great company to host a company summer party. Extremely well organised by the event management team, who ensured all our needs were catered for exactly to our requirements. The bar staff were friendly and quick and the food was exceptional. The DJ made the evening by playing a great mix of songs. I would definitely recommend and would likely host another company event aboard the Golden Jubilee!”
Melissa, Golden Jubilee 26th August -
“Had my hen party on the golden star boat. It was such a great day, the staff on board were excellent, bar fully stocked and good prices and communication with the team before the day was easy and always really quick to get back to me. Could not recommend this company enough! ”
Natalie, Golden Star, 21st November
