I attended a wedding there last night after they opened earlier than planned due to the previous venue having to close the same week of the wedding. the OEC handled everything brilliantly. They came to the rescue and helped the bride and groom with their perfect day and made sure it was ran really well.

Mixed bag views about the 80's night. The venue is nop notch no complaints there. Food was very nice and the DJ was brilliant. He played an excellent selection of 80's tracks, and not just the usual clich ones. It was great to hear some that rarely get played. On the down side, I wasn't over enamored with the live band. I think I'd rather it had just been the DJ. My only other gripe was with the fancy dress competition.
There were some very good costumes that night, so it was confusing to see it go to someone with wearing a few bright colours and a "I Love the 80's" top. Leaves me wondering if they were known to the judge.

Had our works Christmas party here last night. We were a little apprehensive as to how the night would pan out, with it being a newly opened venue, but our reservations were unfounded. The food was lovely. The staff were courteous and very well organised. The service was excellent. Entertainment throughout the evening. Couldn't fault anything about it. We all had a great time.

The OEC is a fantastic venue, the food was excellent, the service was fantastic, the staff very friendly, the only fault was the music, whilst eating the music playing wasn't appropriate (rave) and very loud also no current chart music was played by the DJ other than this it was an excellent night and would have given it 10/10 if the music was slightly better.
