Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It's too hard to pick one, but one of the most memorable moments was when we lent a couple a staff member's ring as they had forgotten theirs! It was a small gesture, but it meant the world to them!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Absolutely, stick to your budget! It's easy to get carried away with all the bells and whistles of wedding planning, but keeping a close eye on your budget makes sure that you enjoy the journey of booking your dream day without the stress!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
Again, too many great ideas to name - one that warms my heart was a photo of the bride's grandma in a locket was wrapped around her bouquet so that she walked her down the aisle - as she promised.
