A lovely spring wedding💐

We had our wedding with Sun Pavilion booked for 18 months. The attentiveness of the staff on the day, was second to none. A HUGE shout out to Safina and Nigel, who took such good care of myself, my husband and our guests on our wedding day.
The food provided by CGC was exceptional, and the organisation of the staff helped the whole day run smoothly.

The only downside for me, was during the planning process. With emails sometimes feeling forgotten about, and a bit of staff turnover, which caused a lack of continuity in planning. However, in the months leading up to the wedding, Victoria was incredibly responsive and no question was too big or too small.

I want to do our wedding day all over again! It was honestly the best day of my life, made even better by the Sun Pavilion!
