"The most amazing wedding day we could have imagined! We had our wedding reception at the greenhouse on 9th August 2025, and we can’t thank Carl and his team enough for all of the hard work they put into our big day! Carl helped us through every process, inviting us back to have meetings with him to discuss and kept us feeling calm about it the whole time. They even made our wedding cake too which looked absolutely amazing! All of our guests said on the day about how amazing the place looked all done up. The food was so good (as every guest also agreed). Everything flowed so nicely throughout the day all down to everyone that put their hard work in".
