We honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, it was truly magical from start to finish. Firstly, we wanted to say a huge thank you to you Nicole for helping us plan a day that was so perfect. You were so instrumental in making the day what it was. You were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. You always seemed to be available for questions/queries. The venue and grounds are beyond magnificent but I think it was all the staff that helped to create such a perfect day. We would also like to say a special thank you to Sophie, as she was also amazing. We loved having her there throughout the day and helped to keep us on track but she was also flexible and relaxed. I honestly can't thank you both enough for helping us have the most magical wedding. The supplier Butterfly Events were incredible, really flexible before the wedding and they were so helpful to Andy on the day. Matt Nicholls was also incredible, he felt like part of the wedding party rather than our photographer. He helped the girls feel at ease immediately. We loved having him as part of our special day. The food throughout the day was incredible and all our guests commented on how delicious everything was from the canapés, wedding breakfast through to the hog roast. We want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We'll make sure we always come and say hi. I've no doubt we'll be enjoying our anniversaries at Peckforton Castle and reminiscing on our perfect wedding day Best wishes to you allWe've spent the last few days laughing and crying at all the amazing memories we have.
