From the second we booked it the experience was top class. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and bent over backwards to make our day special time and time again. Communication was regular and kept me and my wife at ease throughout the whole process and there was nothing they wouldn't do for us. The day itself was perfect. The staff were always on hand to ensure it went smoothly and without a hitch and we're friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. From the service, to the decoration and the timings of the day, to the food and the evening. It couldn't have been a more wonderful experience for us and our family and we are so greatful to everyone at the bolholt for making it so special. 11/10.
