The venue was nice and we had good planning sessions leading up to the wedding day however on the wedding day there were very inexperienced staff helping which meant we had lots of things go wrong which left us very disappointed! Staff didn’t even know how to open champagne… they were doing it with a corkscrew! Also not a great venue if you have a lot of elderly guests as in the evening there is no side room for them to escape the music!

Beautiful Venue
Our day went very smoothly and was very well organised. The food for our wedding breakfast was fantastic, there was just a couple of things that i critized down hall for, one of them is the room that we got ready in had no air conditioning and on a hot day wasnt ideal, i was made to pack my bags to be taken to the suite where my husband and i stayed the night of the wedding, i thought it would have been easier to use that room for the bride to get ready in so they dont have to worry about packing their bags whilst trying to get ready for their big day, plus the suite is air conditioned with plenty of space for all the bridal party, the room i got ready in wasnt big enough. The other thing i wasnt very happy about was the fact that we were supposed to have access to the gardens at the back of the wedding breakfast room, this wasnt the case and all our guests were made to go upstairs to have drinks before the evening started, which i was very annoyed about and when our evening guests arrived they couldnt find us. That spoilt things a bit for me really as it was such a lovely evening our guests could have had drinks in the garden area. We had a great day and so did our guests.
