The best day we could have hoped for

From all the planning, organisation, communication, questions leading up to the big day and the big day itself, everything was so easy and ran smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble for the team to accommodate and the team on the day were all fantastic - they even told us when our food was about to come out if we weren't sat down so it didn't go cold! What to say about the food - fantastic (and many of our guests also said so). Thanks to everyone at The Talbooth who really did give us the most perfect day!

Wonderful Wedding Planning!

We got married in August in the marquee at the Talbooth. From start to finish the whole process was smooth and really took the stress and pressure off of a stressful event! Keighley handled our planning and all communication was excellent and no request was too much. would definitely recommend!
