The Cathedral Suite is perfect!

I was determined to have the cathedral suite for our wedding and I’m so glad we booked it. It’s a stunning suite which was a joy to get ready in for my wedding.

Staff were super helpful and attentive, the food was delicious.

My only issue was on the fact that the seating was a little low for my hair and makeup artist to work with - so I’d suggest brides ask for an extra chair in advance!
