We have had great feedback about the event last night. Thanks for all your efforts, the venue looked gorgeous and food was great! Thank you to you and all your team for all your hard work making our event a success and for going over above and beyond the call of duty to help with car tyre changing late at night!

I have said thank you, and I'm still saying thank you. You managed to pull off the event of a lifetime for most of my guests. Being away from home and working away from your loved ones sometimes makes you question your motives and if it was all worth it, but you and your team made it a life worth living, and a memory worth having.

The feedback received from all was that this was the best one in the 17 years of this event taking place. Your attention to detail and staff are to be commended for their outstanding, friendly and attentive service - thank you.
