2018 - Message Catering€¦ · wedding brochure with tailored packages towards making your special...

Our on-site coffee shop and catering business means we can offer food and drink service at restaurant standards.

But what makes the MEC unlike any other business venue is our ethos. Behind the scenes, each of our teams is mentoring and supporting men and women who have a second chance in life after making bad decisions as young people.

All that remains for me to do is to invite you to come and see the potential for yourself. I guarantee you’ll be impressed.

My 50th party at the MEC was such a memorable and fun occasion. The food, the service and the venue decoration were all to such a high standard. I loved every moment. Thanks MEC!

LINDZ WESTLZ7 ALBUM LAUNCH

TESTIMONIALS

This venue was very easy to access and had good car parking facilities. The reception area for ‘meet and greet’ was well organised. The space for networking was well set out at the back of the hall with the seating and speakers towards the front. Would highly recommend this venue.

I’ve held everything here from board strategy days, leadership conferences, presentation skills masterclasses and even a graffiti workshop for companies who want to nurture creativity in their team. It’s a fantastic space for unlocking creativity and building stronger relationships.

MORGAN JAMES CONSULTINGTRAINING AND COACHING SESSIONS

TESTIMONIALS

The MEC is the perfect space for our monthly meetings. Not only are the staff helpful, calm and wonderful problem-solvers, but they are also kind and fun to partner with. I can’t recommend the venue and staff highly enough.

Hiring office space at the MEC has worked really well – the location is perfect for us, the MEC team have always been helpful and flexible and having a café on site is a massive bonus!

The MEC staff are welcoming, helpful and flexible. They happily set up our room in keeping with each specific meeting, providing catering ranging from tea and biscuits to a three course meal.

CRISTEL BERRIDGECHRISTIAN WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Message who hosted our first ever charity fundraiser for 160 people. The food was amazing! The team did everything they could to make us feel at ease. We had the best night!

VICTORIA ARMSTRONGTHE OASIS CENTRE

The Venue was the perfect space to hold our very unique kick-boxing tournament. We were able to fit a large ring and 300+ guests in – and they provided a pop-up bar for us. It was a great day and we would love to use the venue again.

DAVE MORRISSENSEI KICKBOXING ACADEMY

We regularly host our Prayer Storm conferences at the Venue and will continue to do so because of the brilliant facilities and friendly staff!

JAMES ALADIRANPRAYER STORM

The Message Enterprise Centre provided us with a brilliant space to host our live-streamed seminars. We were able to customise the venue to meet our unique requirements and the use of their lighting and sound equipment was a great bonus.
