We have a suite of 5 rooms guests get to use on their wedding day. Its great when couples use each room to their full potential and personalise the venue. This can be with pictures, entertainment, memorabilia or decoration. One couple recently had all their wine glasses personalised with the names of their guests on each and then have a personal cocktail made for each guest.
