  • "VERY SORRY about the rant but I write with a sad heart and wholeheartedly wish we could have had the wedding ceremony and reception at a different venue."
  • "Alarm bells did actually sound after the initial deposit was paid over to them, their attitude completely changed towards the Bride and Groom furthermore small extras which they were not informed about beforehand kept on being added to the balance."

  • "A venue with staff who are untrustworthy, liars & thieves!"
