5 Graham Oakland 3rd Mar 2018

I can't speak highly enough of this company. Chris listened to everything we wanted and produced it all without fuss and with total kindness and efficiency. Nothing was too much trouble , especially finding the right music, the celebrant was wonderful, and the day went perfectly, despite appalling weather conditions. There was a follow up phone call to see if the catering was satisfactory, which it was.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company , you could not do better
