    • mimi J. ★★★★★ Amazing Mayree, with the best touch and smile. She gives the best make up that leaves you looking like who were. I like the fact that I could recognise myself and it was the best feeling for someone like me who doesn't like being too loud with make up
    • Schola O. ★★★★★ Mary, aka Serene touch took the time to understand my vision and created a look that perfectly matched my personality, occasion, and style. The attention to detail was incredible, and every stroke of the brush was done with precision and care. Not only did she make me look stunning, but I also felt confident and radiant the entire time. Beyond the artistry, Mary was kind, professional, and a joy to be around. She created such a relaxed and fun environment that made the whole experience even more special. If you're looking for someone who can bring out your best self while making the process enjoyable, look no further than Serene Touch

    • Ekom E. ★★★★ I had my wedding reception there last week. Almost 600 souvenirs (flat tongues, hair dryer, umbrellas, 3-in -1 towels, lighters) was stolen from our bus at the premises of this Event45. The bus was parked right in front of the security house, visible enough for the security guys to see. The securities were around but when asked, all kept mute without response or any reaction of such thing happening on their watch. It felt like nothing to them. Throughout the event, the gate was closed. Cars could not drive in without anyone's notice. The persons who opened our bus, and took such large amount of souvenirs right in front of the security house definitely was seen. We were told during payment for the centre, of its high security standard and CCTV cameras. Upon asking for the outside security cameras footage, we were told it was not working which i find hard to believe, suddenly the outside security cameras was not working. It was very heart breaking for me as a bride to see this. Most of my guest who came from far and near, left without souvenirs. I would be wary to book this centre again in future for any of my events. I was the bride that day, it was "My day". Imagine such an embarrassing situation and wicked act which could not be defended by the said securitys in the centre. This Event45 centre served me poorly!!!,
    • Benny E. ★★★★★ A very Classy event center I would say,fully air conditioned and with ample parking space.. Located in State housing Estate in calabar..you can always count on Thier facility cos it's actually one of the best in town but the road leading there is beginning to get bad and needs Resurfacing..This is State housing Estate for God sake and it houses several top politicians in the state including the former governor Senator Professor Ben Ayade etc
