Wedding was AMAZING!

Just wanted to let you know that the wedding was AMAZING! The bride said it was like ‘fairy tale’ wedding. Everything ran on time (never happens on an Indian wedding) it was a slick operation and all the planning was so worth it. The staff over the two days were really helpful which helped with the organization; so a big thanks to them and to you for being there every step of the way

Manager is an absolute gem

Im gutted i can’t remember names but the manager is an absolute gem here, in general all staff working the night were. I worked alongside them all when hiring an archway to a wedding that was at this hotel and the staff were beyond helpful, helping me carry equipment etc just all of them went above and beyond. It was so refreshing to work alongside such lovely people - so thank you. Made my night x
