- SSarah North16/08/2024Wedding Venue Review: Needs ImprovementWedding Venue Review: Needs ImprovementI attended a wedding here in Jan 2024. Nice views, but in terms of a wedding venue, it has a long way to go. The number of toilets was inadequate, and they were dirty from start to finish. Food was OK but very odd in that they started food service at 4:30pm then basically stopped by around 6:30pm. We had speeches at 7 pm, then cake, then later they brought out hot chips and eventually pizza. The early canapes were OK, but there was too much fried food and no healthy options.I attended a wedding here in Jan 2024. Nice views, but in terms of a wedding venue, it has a long way to go.
