WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS VENUE?

It was so special to have our first dance underneath twinkling stars. The staff also contributed to our final decision; they were so down to earth and had a genuine interest in what we wanted.”

TELL US ABOUT YOUR DECORATIONS…
“The venue has such a large range of decorations, which we used to create our overall theme. We added flowers, a few photo displays and my clever husband made light-up marquee love letters that were a real focal point to our bridal table.”
