- JJoanne & Shane23/05/2025All our guest had a wonderful timeAll our guest had a wonderful timeAll our guest had a wonderful time and said it was the best wedding (venue and food especially) they’d been to! We wanted to thank everyone who helped us with the ceremony after out morning of disasters made us run an hour late. We really appreciated the flexibility and being able to hold our ceremony in the ballroom still. The food was incredibly delicious, even better than I remember at the tasting. The front of house staff were all lovely and very attentive, thank you to them all!All our guest had a wonderful time and said it was the best wedding (venue and food especially) they’d been to!
