We were particularly impressed by how all members of staff on the day seemed to go above and beyond to make it feel special and genuinely seemed to care that we felt as relaxed as possible: from the lady in the restaurant who made sure I had breakfast despite being in a rush, to the lady at the hotel reception who helped my Mum sort everything in my room whilst I was getting my hair done, to the woman who helped set up the table and the fantastic bar man who was so friendly, funny (and fast at serving drinks).
