Yesterday we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Chris & Alissa tying the knot! 🥂

Chris & Alissa first came to us last year looking for somewhere to hold their wedding reception. After a chat with our team, they decided to book our Gold Buffet Package, arranged their DJ and left the rest to us!

The best part was they had no idea what the venue was going to look like until they arrived on the day! 😍

Safe to say it was exactly how they wanted it, and we couldn’t be happier Our team worked extremely hard behind the scenes to make sure everything was just right, and we absolutely love it when a plan comes together!

If you’re looking for somewhere to hold a birthday party, baby shower, wedding reception, celebration of life or even just a get-together, why not pop in and have a chat with a member of our team or email us [email protected]

Finally, a massive congratulations to Chris & Alissa!

From all of our team, we wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness together. Thank you for letting us be part of your special day! 🥂💍
