Wonderful Day
The planning was extremely organised and we found the whole experience very reassuring.
The hotel itself is stunning and provided a beautiful backdrop for our photos. The bridal suite is incredible and provided ample space for the whole bridal party to get ready. All our guests were extremely impressed with the food and service throughout the day.
The location of the hotel is excellent, with my husband’s family not being local, they loved being able to stay in the heart of the city.
I cannot recommend the hotel enough as a wedding venue, it’s beautiful, the service excellent and the whole experience was fantastic taking away a huge amount of work and stress from us.
A wonderful wedding with the best support!
