The day was absolute perfection. You and your team were wonderful. Communication was excellent, you always were accommodating of our requests, and service from the entire staff was top notch. Our guests even commented how excellent the service was. The day of was stress free and your team did a wonderful job of setting everything up. Very glad I ordered the extra canapés because my dad said he thinks he ate about 15 of the salmon-caviar blinis

Couldn’t have asked for better service from start to finish. Working with Sarah ORourke was such a lovely experience and nothing was too much to ask. She made everything seamless and we had the perfect day. Neil on the day was also so incredible and looked after us so well. All of the staff were amazing and there was always a smiling face and a helping hand

Gabby was amazing throughout the whole build up to the day, very organised and easy to work with. Neil and his team were amazing especially a day or 2 before the event! Food was amazing, service was amazing. Thanks for making our wedding day so special.

We had been planning our wedding with our events planner, Tegan Harbron, for well over a year. At every stage discussing our requirements, Tegan advised and reassured us professionally and exceptionally well. It made our day, the perfect day. EVERYONE, from the moment we arrived the day before our wedding, the day itself and when we left, were AMAZING. We cannot thank hotel team members enough
