Being a wedding we had make up artist, videographer, photographer & coach all part of our day & they all received a very friendly welcome. Might need to apologise to anyone saying near us we used 4 rooms for getting changed etc with lots of movement & traffic between them lol. Also the management had no objections for me using their office to store water, lunch bags for the coach, ice box etc & this really helped.
