I create a calm and relaxed atmosphere for my clients, ensuring that they feel at ease and enjoy every moment of their day.

Entertainment

Ellie and Chris are huge games fans, so added an escape room type challenge to each dining table for the guests to solve in order to access their wedding favours. It was a fantastic way for guests to get to know each other as they puzzled over the clues to unlock the box. Some found it easier than others!
