Wedding and celebrations went exceptionally well

The Crowne Plaza venue, arrangements, staff and service for both the Nikah and the Reception were excellent and I would like to thank you all for the professional arrangements and organisation. This was made all the more easier and joyful experience due to the pleasant and helpful manner in which yourself, James and Blair as well as the reception staff dealt with everything. I would appreciate it if you could thank all the staff involved on ou

We truly did have our perfect day!

We would like to say a very big thank you to everyone that helped contribute to making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives so far. We'd particularly like to thank Alex, who was amazing on the day! We will pop in with some photos when we have them back from the photographer, but for now, here's a few to have a look at :-) Thanks again for everything: we truly did have our perfect day!
