- EEmma08/02/2024Thank you!Thank you!The team were literally amazing from beginning to end, nothing we asked or wanted was too much. The communication throughout was second to none, and we were kept informed and up to date at every step. On our wedding day, they not have been more helpful. They genuinely went above and beyond every single expectation, and became a true part of our day and one of the guests, rather than just someone who worked there.The team were literally amazing from beginning to end, nothing we asked or wanted was too much.
