I would highly recommend Stags Balls. Peter was great to deal with and always very prompt with his responses and information. I liked how through Stags Balls you can just book what you want and its all transparent, without unnecessary add ons that other Stag companies always tend to push on people. The website and payment system is all very clear and easy to use too. No complaints at all.

Excellent company to deal with. Peter did a great job managing our group and was brilliant throughout the whole process. They were always easy to reach, happy to answer questions, and quick to help whenever needed. Everything was organised really well, and the weekend went off without a hitch. There were 20 of us in the group and we had no issues at all. I’d happily recommend this company to anyone planning a stag weekend. Everyone had a great time, and the stag absolutely loved it.
