We had our wedding here at the grande hotel and it was perfect from start to finish I could not recommend it enough. Leanne the wedding coordinator kept in touch throughout and was always there to help with any questions always made time to meet up etc she is brilliant! Jane who does the decor is also sooo lovely our room was stunning she covered every little detail!
