Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
A full Narnia themed wedding, with the suite fully decorated was a definite highlight but the best weddings are always seeing the bride and groom smiling and relaxed.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Remember the day is about you and your partner joining your lives together, so make it what you want it to be.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I love it when couples do something different at their wedding, and I remember one couple used a photograph of themselves as their guest book for everyone to sign. That way they could hang it in their house and see it daily.
