WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS VENUE?
“So many reasons – the views, the intimacy, the rustic and elegant look, but what sold us the most was the beautiful star ceiling. 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.”
