- LLoz n Moz16/11/2019Wonderful WeddingWonderful WeddingWe had an amazing Wedding Day at The Crazy Bear. We found the venue to be absolutely perfect for us and having spoken to most of our guests during and since they completely agreed. The venue is stunning already so there is no need to add anything to it, saying that they are more than happy for you to add anything to the decor. The day ran extremely smoothly - The food was fantastic, we really liked that we could give our guests a choice from 3 dishes on each course and dietary requirements are catered for without fuss. All of the staff were awesome - we wouldn’t have found a more perfect bunch of people to staff the day if we’d have done weeks of auditions! We felt the package offered was fantastic value for everything you get included. If you have it on your shortlist definitely go and investigate more - you certainly won’t regret it!We had an amazing Wedding Day at The Crazy Bear.
