Newlywed testimonial

“From the very first stages of planning to the final moments of the evening, every detail was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine kindness. Megan, Gina and Rachel were absolute stars during the planning process. Their organisation, patience, and helpful guidance made the entire journey stress-free. They were always available to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and help us feel confident that we were in the best of hands.

“On the big day itself, we were incredibly lucky to have Gina, Megan and Chris looking after us. They went above and beyond in every way. They made sure everything ran seamlessly, anticipating needs before we even knew them, and keeping the atmosphere relaxed and joyful. 

“It’s rare to find a team so committed to excellence while also making you feel as though you’re among friends. We will forever remember how they made us feel cared for, celebrated, and completely at ease.” – Catharine & Kate Danielian, July 2025
