Laura & Ian Lunt - 2nd November 2002

Thank you for making our wedding day and weekend celebrations so special. Our guests were at ease, so we were at ease. All the small details did not get unnoticed from the candles by the tub to the signing of guest book and everything in between. You have helped us make memories for the rest of our lives. We are looking forward to seeing you again.

Faye & Malcolm Ritchie - 19th October 2002

Thank you for making our wedding of October 12 one that we and our families and friends will remember and cherish forever. It was a truly beautiful experience. Our wedding was more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.  You made it all happen so easily for us that all we had to do was relax and enjoy it. The meals were exquisite, the rooms beautiful and romantic. We will definitely be back again to celebrate anniversaries, visit our two new friends, Lonny and Fiona and see our tree! Thank you so much for everything. (If you ever need a new place for the piano . . . !!)
