Comments
from Newlyweds
Thank you so much
for your awesome venue for our wedding, gorgeous meal, we both loved
the day. Many thanks.
Tim and Maria, May 99
Finally weve
got our act together sufficiently to be able to say a big Thank
You to you both and your splendid team for all your help in
making our wedding day a red letter day! We had a terrific
day and that is due in large part to your efforts. The atmosphere
and the food was magnificent!!! We felt very comfortable and we
had lots of people say it was the best wedding that they had ever
been to! It is certainly the best wedding I had ever attended but
I may be biased!
Thank you also for the highly professional and supportive approach
you took in helping to plan the reception. It was a highly stressful
project to embark on we found, but having the reception in your
capable hands helped to minimise that stress tremendously!
Thank you again. Will be back to see you in the New Year.
Rosemary and David, Jan 98
