Testimonials

"We had many compliments on the food. The Guildhall itself was a wow factor for our event and people commented on it several times. 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."
