Couldn't recommend this venue enough. Katie, Flo and the rest of the team were so helpful and professional, the venue is stunning, food was absolutely fantastic (the bowls were a big hit with our group) and the team did everything they could to help the event run smoothly. Thank you so much- we will definitely be back!
