"Thank you for contacting me. I think that the guides helped us to increase the number of corporate bookings this season. I had a meeting with branch managers and they said this year they started to get many corporate Christmas parties so I thought (well believe) this is because of these guides.

Mamoru Shoda, Manager, Benihana
"Aqua has worked with the Christmas Party Guide now for a number of years and they have been a pleasure to work with and have helped us greatly to promote our business.

Ben Smithson, Operations Manager, Aqua
"We have advertised using the Christmas Party Guide for our London and Brighton bars for the past 2 years and have since seen an increase in both the number of bookings and walk-ins during the festive period. 2016 was our best Christmas on record and I can confidently say that promoting our venues in this printed and digital publication contributed greatly, with not only direct bookings, but also by raising brand awareness as a whole for the Lucky Voice brand.
"
Olivia Donnithorne, Lucky Voice
"Since we started advertising with The Christmas Party Guide, we have seen an increase in our bookings directly from the publication as well as indirectly due to the added awareness. The printed publication and digital presence gives us an added boost in a very competitive market.

Peter Robinson, Sales Director, The Bierkeller
"I would like to take this moment to thank you and your team for providing us every year with opportunity to take part in the guide. Needless to say, advertising with you has always been smooth sailing and your team has done every bit to help us out. The guide has helped us to raise awareness and bring more guests into our venue.
Every year that we have advertised with you we have seen an increase in booked numbers. In 2014 we had a target of 1200 festive covers and we managed to secure 1500 with your help. Last year, we set out again with a target of 1500 covers and managed to secure 1700 guests through our doors thanks to you. Your help in getting us there has been greatly appreciated and we are looking to even better results this year. Thank you very much.

"We used the Brighton Christmas Party Guide to promote our Christmas Parties. We were really impressed with not just the quality of the guide, but the response we received. We generated a lot of business from it and we will continue to use this method of communication."
Rebecca Bidwell, Browns Restaurant & Bar
"Advertising in The Christmas Party Guide is the best marketing decision we've made. We received many more calls and emails from our advert, than in previous years, and certainly won't hesitate in booking our next advert! We love it!"
Mark Nicholas, Liverpool Naval Club
"We definitely had a much better Christmas period this year than previously, with more bookings for Christmas Parties/get togethers and one thing we did that wasn't there before was to be in the Christmas Party Guide, and I know for sure that some of the bookings came as a result of people seeing us in the guide."
Richard Hurley, The Carpenters Arms
