- MMr & Mrs Hallam31/05/2018Thak you for helping to make our day absolutely perfectThak you for helping to make our day absolutely perfectLindsay, Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect. I remember the first day we came in to meet you we were nervous and unsure of the magnitude of what lay before us in wedding planning. You instantly put us at ease, listened to exactly what our requirements were and ensured that everything was planned maticulasly. Before planning this wedding I hadn't realised all the little things that need to be sorted but at every corner you were there sorting things out and keeping us on track. You made sure that our day was perfect and I cannot thank you enough for this. I didn't feel stressed or pressured just supported by you throughout the whole time. Even when we were adding and changing things in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding you ensured that everything was in place. On the the day of the wedding as we pulled up at the hotel you were there to make sure that all was ok. The room was absolutely out of this world (like a fairytale) I really couldn't have wished for anymore. The food was exceptional, everyone commented on how nice it was and also the professional service of your staff. The evening food was also brilliant pie and peas was just what everyone needed after a long day and again the food was amazing and the service 5 star. All in all the whole experience we had with Rendevouz was exceptional. Thank you Mr & Mrs Hallam Lindsay, Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect.
