Unforgettable!
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the effort you put in to planning our wedding, and to yourself, Julie and the rest of the team for making the day go so smoothly. You and the team worked really hard and did an outstanding job! We were also pleased you were there on the day - it gave us a sense of reassurance & continuity so we really appreciate that.

Janine and I still feel overwhelmed by how wonderful the day was; how well organised everything was, and how incredible the venue was for each stage of the wedding. We’ve also had great feedback from all the guests who just had the best time, and loved every aspect of the whole day.
As people have said it would, the day seemed to go really quickly but we have some great memories and we’re looking forward to seeing the photos when we get those through! I was particularly wowed by the power of the planetarium for the ceremony, but the Scotswood Suite looked amazing, the food was lovely, and the giant moon for the evening do: simply perfect! I was blown away by the power and atmosphere of the planetarium too. I imagined the ceremony might get emotions going (as will happen with weddings) but this was something else. And to finish the evening under the moon in the exhibition space : unforgettable! Married life feels good too!
Good luck with all your future events and if other couples who sign up for their wedding at Life have half as good a day as we did they’ll be thrilled!
