Can we come and do it again please

Thankyou SO MUCH for all of your help for our wedding. It really was the most amazing day and I can’t thank you enough for over-seeing everything and going above and beyond for us. You came along at just the right time like our fairy godmother and made everything perfect!

Please could you pass on our sincere thanks to the butlers. They are an absolute credit to the house, nothing was too much trouble for them and they made every single guest feel so special.

Our guests have not stopped talking about our wedding being the best they have ever attended, and I have to agree with them! It was absolutely magical. Can we come and do it again please?!!!!

many thanks for making their wedding so perfect

Maureen and I were truly thrilled with the fantastic reception Alan and his staff provided for us and our guests. Without exception everyone was in awe of the magnificent surroundings and the superb quality of the food and service.
We have had comments that it was like a scene from a different and most elegant era and was somewhat better than Downton Abbey!! Please thank Alan and his team for helping make this such a perfect occasion for everyone.

Chris and Harriet will remember the day forever

Again many thanks for making their wedding so perfect
