Thank you very much for all you and the barman did to make the party a big success. It was hugely enjoyable, and a lot of my confidence and pleasure with the event was tied up with how excellent it was to work with you.

You were really flexible and responsive  to what we wanted, and  helped us draw on your experience in a very engaging way. The barman was so kind and relaxed and nice to all the different age groups. If you could pass on my appreciation to him that would be great.

Many thanks again.

Warmest thanks to Jenny our Event Organiser, Jason the chef and the entire team who worked so hard to make our wedding reception and dinner such a roaring success.

Kenwood is a fantastic venue to start with, and you provided the guests with an unforgettable experience. I cannot tell you how many people said what a wonderful evening it had been. All the arrangements worked like clockwork, the dinner was superb, and served with great panache and efficiency, and a great time was had by all. 

These things do not happen by magic, and I know much planning and organisation went into the finished result. You gave us much support in advance, made sure we were happy with what was planned, and were there throughout the event. A first-class result and a tribute to all the people and people skills involved. Bravo!

Jane and I were delighted with all that you did to make our wedding day so memorable.

It was also so pleasing that Jane was well enough to thoroughly enjoy everything. We will now have even more wonderful memories of Wakehurst and given that Jane is well enough, it is certainly my intention to book up for one of your Xmas Lunches or dinners in December 2012.

Best wishes to you for 2012 and thank you again for the very professional way you organised everything for what was a very special day for us.

Can you please pass on our thanks to Jenny for doing such a great job on Saturday. She managed to fix a stained dress and a cut foot, which was much appreciated.

Everyone was very impressed with the food, the Welsh Rarebit was a hit!, and the bar staff were attentive but not intrusive.

Thank you for all your help leading up to the wedding and for yesterday.

Just a quick note to thank you and the team for delivering yet another impeccable event yesterday evening at Kenwood. The food, service and general ambiance, thanks to your attention to detail, and enthusiasm were of an excellent standard. The guests had a wonderful time and Simon was also extremely pleased with how smoothly the evening went.
 
I'd be grateful if you would also pass on my thanks to those members of the team who helped, and of course compliments to the chef (my risotto was superb!).
 
Thanks again, and I very much look forward to working with you on future events.

Thank you for all your help in planning our wedding. We had such an incredible day at Chiswick House, and have such fantastic memories. The day went so seamlessly, and thank you so much for your enormous part in that. I was so delighted with how the marquee turned out, you had decorated it so perfectly!

I was actually pleased that it rained a little, so people could hear Voces 8 who I thought sang brilliantly, and thank goodness we had enough sun for the group photo to happen! The day was fabulous, we were so delighted with everything!

Thank you so much, it was a gorgeous day, and we are so honoured to have held it at the beautiful setting at Chiswick House.

After viewing Wakehurst Place, my partner and I just fell in love with it! The mansion is spectacular, and being surrounded by a stunning lake and pretty gardens made it even more perfect.

Lots of praise from our guests about the food as it truly was delicious! Our wedding day was everything we wished for and more, from my husband and I, Thank you to all staff at Wakehurst Place.

I just wanted to thank you for the first rate catering at Kenwood yesterday. I am no stranger to the world of catering having managed many caterers in previous roles so I hope you understand my sincerity when I say it was one of the most appealing lunches we have had at one of our events.

The food was tasty, creative and beautifully presented; the staff were so good - how often is that not so - but your team are lovely, a real delight. Their level of service was excellent also - they are a real asset to your business, and really made a difference to the whole day.

I wanted to say that we and all our guests were extremely impressed by and enjoyed all your and the teams work - the food was delicious and the service exemplary; please will you pass on our thanks to them. It was a shame about the weather but Plan B allowed people to experience all of the house (if not the gardens) and this added a real "wow" factor.

As I say we had a great day and would like to thank you for the professionalism you showed along with your good humour and expertise to guide us through the proceedings. It worked out brilliantly - so well done.

Beautiful place for a wedding. We had a really lovely wedding at Wakehurst Place. The house and gardens are stunning, the food was very good and the service excellent. We particularly appreciated the way the organisers took care of everything and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day.

Everything was so perfect that we did not even notice the bad weather, and had a beatiful drinks reception in the hall and library. We would thoroughly recommend Wakehurst Place for a wedding. Thank you Katie and Caroline.
