The whole experience from the first phone call to us arriving and packing up at the end of the night was outstanding. All the staff just went above and beyond for us. The bar staff was working so hard keeping up making cocktail with a smile on their faces. We loved the venue, the fact that it was private but not locked away in a room, but feels like we are still apart of the nights. We would definitely recommend the Dock to all our friends. I would like to attached some photos from the night. Looking forward to returning to the Dock.
