- MMr & Mrs Spencer09/08/2018Our wonderful weddingOur wonderful weddingI cannot say enough about how fabulous Michelle and the team at Holmfield are. We had our wedding yesterday 4/8/18 and it was the most perfect day ever...better than I could ever imagine. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at ease and that everything runs smoothly. Food and service was excellent...nothing is ever too much trouble. If we wanted more side dishes for the main course all we had to do was ask. As for the planning process itself Michelle made my life so much easier! She adapted my menu for any fussy child eaters, she changed my seating plan at the last minute, she organised everything and answered my countless emails. Everyone commented on how gorgeous the food was both at the wedding breakfast and the buffet. A huge thank you to Michelle and the team. I can't wait to come back to show you our photographs!
