Perfect day
We booked our wedding package with Mercure Bankfield hotel. We chose to have our ceremony at the venue as well as our wedding breakfast and evening reception. Prices were reasonable and good value for money especially with how much is included. Everything was set up as per requested and looked perfect on the day. The staff were very attentive from start to finish and nothing was too much to ask to ensure our day ran smoothly
