Jacqueline and her team are exceptional. Right from our first enquiry through to planning and on our actual wedding day, the service, creativity, passion and attention to detail was first class. Jacqueline helped to understand our theme and brought that to life with quirky ideas and detail. The service on the day was oustanding with lots of guests commenting on our how friendly and attentive the staff were and the food was absolutely delicious! Not only that, Jacqueline and her team went the extra mile to help with other bits and pieces on the day which really helped out. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you!
