They were amazing, they had left champagne for us and set all the rooms up for getting ready and for when we came back afterwards. It was beautiful.

March 2019

They were absolutely fantastic! They're used to massive events so our smaller wedding was easy for them. They set up the bar and the glass house for us which was beautiful. They were super organised and really professional. the food and wine packages were great too! My only negative is that we chose to stay at the hotel which wasn't as good but our wedding was amazing.
