Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you to yourself for Wicksteed Park went over and above to make sure our day ran perfectly!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and everyone I've seen since who attended said how much they enjoyed themselves.
The food was great, the fish was perfect!
All staff were great, venue was perfect (especially when the sun came out!) and all in all I would not change a thing if I was given the chance to do it again.
Again thank you and I'm sure our paths will cross again one day!

Perfect!

Hope you are well
We have just got back off our honeymoon and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all at Wicksteed Park for making our day so perfect! Our guests absolutely loved the grounds - it was a perfect setting for the perfect day. The rain held off until the evening which meant our drinks reception was outside as planned!! Our day went smoothly and completely to plan! Your service was very thorough, reliable, you were easy to contact and adaptable to changes made through the process. Thank you
