The waiter staff were brilliant, professional. We loved the microphone for the speeches and all the table décor were lovely, the room was gorgeous and just how I imagined. Thank you for just setting up the room as we asked, it was beautiful. Our day all went in too fast. I cannot thank you enough Gabby for all your efforts and turning everything I planned into reality.’
