Hi coco and Sarah! The best wedding planners ever! Can I just say what an amazing team you guys and your staff at the holiday inn are. You guys and your team were fantastic wedding planners. Your support to make our day so special was second to none. The venue was stunning ,Your staff were so helpful, so kind , Your staff calmed my nerves down when I had a wobble before the ceremony! Your team made us and our guests feel so welcome!. You were all so organised and professional ! The holiday inn was stunning! you slayyyyed today! Your service was top quality and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing our vision to life! We are so lucky to be able to use your venue. We didn’t see any holiday makers in our photos or in any part of our wedding., your hotel guests were kept discreetly out of the way of our wedding. It was lovely to see them after the ceremony coming to look at the newly weds ! You stepped in when our ceremony was cruelly cancelled last minute by another venue. We should have had you from the start! You have been so amazing! lit was such a fantastic ceremony today! We had so many compliments on your venue and the staff! You and your team made sure our wedding was ;a success ! Your work speaks for itself! Thank you for supporting us throughout this journey. Your advice was second to none! I loved all of your re
