In the meantime, here are a few verified online reviews that were solicited from an online wedding directory. And thank you all again to my lovely couples down through the years Before I can take your ..read more

Last Friday was my first time seeing coffee served at a wedding & what a great experience it was! Such a wonderful & brilliant idea.  It didn’t just look pretty, it went down so well with guests who didn’t have to wait long for their coffees & donuts!  The idea works just as well on a wet day as Sarah brings a canopy along for just such an event ??

Bride – go braless on the wedding morning, or the straps may leave a mark. 4. Allow ample time for preparations.  The more people that are involv ..read more
