Everyone was so amazing at our wedding on Sunday and can't thank you enough for all your help. Everything wernt s smoothly and even down to the finer details, everything was so well organised and run. Elosie and her team were brilliant!
Special thank you to the barman who went above and beyond for us. Everyon'e glasses were topped up and he was always making sure me and Faye were ok and had a drink. He organised the sparkler shots for us and was just so lovely and helpful. All our guests kept mentioning how amazing the venue and all the staff were.
