Thank you all for making our wedding day special

Hope you and the team are doing well. I just wanted to thank you all for making our wedding day so special (and seamless) - your event manager Caroline was so helpful, as were all your other staff. We were a little anxious about the food because we didn't get to have a tasting, but it was excellent and our guests are still talking about it! I also really want to thank your bartending staff for handling the entire event so well.It really was a perfect day, and your team played a huge part in that

We would especially like to recognise Kate for her exceptional effort and attention to detail, she made us feel very special on our arrival and continued to do so throughout the entire event. Our guests widely commented on Kate being so proficsant and very organised and always smiling and helpful no request was too much. Everyone was catered and her energy was truly amazing .

The whole team did amazingly

Myself and Josh just wanted to reach out to let you know how impressed we were with everything last Saturday at Sir John Moore Honestly, we had so many compliments from guests on the presentation and how amazing the food and service was. It also made such a difference the fact you guys had looked into the seating plan so well and didn't have to ask anyone if they were veggie etc they were just given the correct dish - it's the touches like this that make all the difference.
