My husband and I had our wedding here in June and cannot praise it highly enough. The day went without a hitch and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Due to us and the photographer being super organised it meant we finished our photos earlier than planned, which meant we were back indoors quicker than expected. Unlike other weddings I had been too they quickly arranged it that we could go into our room earlier than expected.
We had the large function room along with the bar area which meant our quests could choose between the party side or the quite section away from DJ. The additional bar area also meant there was plenty of room for the children to play (and we had plenty) without them getting 'under peoples feet'. To keep the children entertained I also purchased several children's toys, art supplies and glow sticks which I intended to put in a large wash basket. However the wedding coordinator arranged for them to be laid out on a table and they looked amazing. The kids loved it!!
The best part of all .... The food ,,, our quests are still taking about this 3 weeks on. They couldn't believe what they received. We opted for a BBQ style which went down a treat and the burgers/sausages were excellent quality. It truly surpassed anything we could have thought up. We also opted for bacon sandwiches at midnight and again the quality was fabulous, unlike some I've again had before there was plenty of bacon in there and the bread rolls were ultra soft and tasted so fresh. The remaining quests were over the moon.
A lovely unexpected benefit to us was that the buffet and bacon butties were opened by myself and my husband. Meaning we were the only ones in there was, we were able to get our food, and to sit down whilst the guest went through for their. By doing this it meant that both of us were able to eat uninterrupted and actually eat unlike our engagement party.
The venue was also able to cater for our gluten free relative and our unusual onion allergy. With onions been in most foods either fresh, dried or powdered the head chef ensure our quest could eat almost everything on the menu which again didn't go unnoticed.
The drinks prices at the venue are also extremely competitive unlike hotels, again this was noted by our quests.
A final thank you must be to the head chef for his flexibility and amazing food and finally to Becki the coordinator. During the initial day/night part if Becki saw I had been handed a card/gift she took it from me and placed it where it needed to be to save me carrying it round. Both of them ensured our wedding went off without a hitch and was a memorable and enjoyable day.
