Booked Whole Venue at Albatross & Arnold
5.0
My partner and I celebrated our wedding last month in Albatross and Arnold and from the moment we got to the place we loved it. The service from Gina and Andrew was amazing, so kind. After we decided to do our celebration in A&A we met Charlie who helped us with absolutely everything, the chef Jade was so lovely and made a delicious menu. Thank you to everyone for all you did to have the best in our special day. We highly recommend this place for wedding celebrations, parties with friends, etc. Amazing food and great service. Thank you Albatross and Arnold. Joe&Caro
