The venue hosted a wedding reception. The event space, ivy hall, looked superb! emma and caitlin, the wedding coordinators, handled all the setup. They ensured our day proceeded smoothly. the rose suite provided ample space for getting ready, and the honeymoon suite had a great view and decking.
I found some noise present. I could hear the water cistern filling from another room.
