Testimonials
“Having our wedding at The Light Room was an amazing experience. While walking through the Bar, Gallery and Studio spaces, we knew it was the perfect place, envisioning the surprise and awe our guests would experience, especially in the immersive studio room.
Our Co-Ordinator, Lee-Ann, went above and beyond to ensure our day was organised and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our night. The technology, catering and every little detail was perfect. Our guests praised the venue’s uniqueness and highlighted their surprise of the first dance with the immersive screens. Choosing The Light Room was the best decision we made for our special day.” – Maria and Alex“On behalf of my husband and I, I would like to thank Lee-Ann, James, and the whole Aurora team for making our wedding reception one we will never forget.
To start with, the process to book with you was seamless which helped me make a decision on where to choose. I had emailed multiple venues and your prompt response and ability to answer all questions allowed it to be an easy choice.
Secondly, I would like to recognise your team for their hard work and dedication in making both Dejan and I feel like a priority from the very get go of organising the event through to the end. The level of service that not only we received but our guests as well was also commented on, even guest we spoke with said how attentive the team were, and how DELICIOUS the food was. Our wedding at ILA was a dream come true and cannot wait to return for dinner when we are back in Adelaide.” – Bel and Dejan
