Just wanted to say thank you for all your help with bringing my dream wedding to life. My guests have all said that it was a beautiful event, that they loved the venue and were so pleased to have been able to take what they didn’t finish at the picnic home because it fed them all weekend (they were so chuffed!). Thank you so much for having us, answering all my questions leading up to the date and making sure my entrance was smooth and seamless. – Lauren van Haght
