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!!!,
