Posted on Google Foz DemierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently held our wedding here and overall had a wonderful experience. The venue itself was beautifully presented — clean, elegant and very well set up on the night. Climate inside was equable and I must admit there was an amazing misty scent. Everything ran smoothly. Our guests genuinely enjoyed themselves, and we received many compliments about the atmosphere and presentation. The staff were organised and ensured the night flowed well from start to finish. We really thank and appreciate Daylan and his team for their efforts and for hosting a memorable evening for us and our families.Posted on Google Annamaria CarrabbiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
