- AAgata and Mike02/09/2023The best day possible! The best day possible!Daniella and Scarlet made our day wonderful! They were organised, enthusiastic and helpful whenever we needed them. We hardly had to do a thing, everything was so well thought out that any issues were prevented before we even thought of them 😊 It was very pleasant to plan the wedding with them and the bar staff and waiters accomodating for my Polish family. They made it look effortless so we could relax and enjoy our day. The bridal suite was great. I was overjoyed to find it well stocked (the water bottled were a godsend after hours of dancing) and very luxurious. It was a shame we only stayed there for one night! Food was amazing and decor beautiful. Can't thank Daniella enough! Daniella and Scarlet made our day wonderful! They were organised, enthusiastic and helpful whenever we needed them.
