We were seriously blown away by the food and service your team provided on our wedding day. The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious, every dish! One of the biggest comments from guests was how fantastic the food was, from people who would not normally branch out so much to that cuisine, to others who said it was the best food at a wedding they had ever had, even one of the vegetarians saying it was the best tofu he has ever had! Haha. The service your team provided looking after guests' drinks, helping the bar and setting up and looking after the grazing table was just an absolute bonus too! It was really fantastic to see guests cared for and attended to.
