Testimonials

The customer service was outstanding. In the lead-up to the event, responses to emails were quick and on the day, nothing was too much of an ask. There were plenty of people around to help, facilities were excellent, the venue looked beautiful and was very comfortable. Everyone was extremely helpful. I cannot recommend it enough!

Katie was fabulous helping me with every tiny aspect of the event, both in the lead up to the event and on the day. All the other staff in the venue were helpful, nothing was too much trouble."
