We had a wonderful wedding at the Mandolay Hotel!
We had a wonderful wedding at the Mandolay Hotel!
The staff have been so helpful throughout all the wedding planning. Everyone's been especially understanding around lockdown, initially having to postpone the wedding a year, which was done at no extra cost. Even on the lead up to the big day, when restrictions didn't ease as much as we'd hoped, they've been so accomodating with last-minute changes.
The day itself was all we could have hoped for and we enjoyed every second.
Extra shout outs to Tami and Bruno for all the help you've given us! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HOSTING US!
