We will do all we can to assist you both in the build-up to your day and our wedding co-ordinator Charlotte is on hand for any query, concern or request you may have in the lead up to your wedding and on the day.
Additionally, we have a fully licensed bar and offer a chance for our couples to design their own signature cocktail to be served on their day. We serve up only the freshest, tastiest and locally sourced food, with every item on our menu made to order.
