GoHen were very efficient and took all the stress away when booking a hen do. The ABBA dance and cocktail-making classes were fantastic and all staff were very friendly. Stephanie was amazing! Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for her. Really appreciated how quickly I heard back from her. The bride-to-be and the hens had a super weekend in Chester and I would certainly recommend GoHen to anyone!

GoHen has been fantastic in helping me book my cousin's hen do. They helped when we were unsure of numbers and got us a good deal on our activities.
