- LLaura12/06/2019A Rooftop WeddingA Rooftop WeddingThank you so much for the most wonderful day. I don't know where to start, it all went so well. The rooftop looked more beautiful than ever, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff were extremely polite and warm. Our nieces and nephews loved their food too and were ecstatic when they realised they had a bowling lane just for them, which also gave the grown ups some time for nice coffees and cakes. It was truly unforgettable and I really appreciate the effort everyone at Firmdale made to make us feel so special.Thank you so much for the most wonderful day.
