staff are amazing

On the 6th May Luke & I celebrated our wedding. I’m so glad that we choose Southwood as our venue. It’s a beautiful setting and it looks great on the photos. The food was amazing. So much so I still have people mentioning how amazing the hors d'oeuvres were. Vicki and her staff were absolutely amazing, from the minute we came to look around to the last when we were ushering the last of our guests in to taxis. I honestly don’t think I can thank them enough.
