“To everyone involved in the Hopper-Davies wedding back in November (and especially Christopher for your help in the lead-up and Ashleigh for taking charge on the night).. THANK YOU!! We had the most amazing day, and the great service, delicious food and truly beautiful setting at the reception capped it all off perfectly. We received fantastic compliments about every aspect of the night and we are so glad you were involved in our big day. Thanks again, Chris & Nikki.”
