"Hi Jo, Just wanted to say a hugh thank you for everything you did to help us surrounding the Cancer Research UK Quiz Night. Thanks for everything in the run up to the quiz (especially with my stress and worry about it) and thanks for everyone's hard work on the night. So many people commented on what a lovely job you had done for us and how the evening had gone off without any hitches. We raised £3500- very pleased."

"Dear Maddie and George, We had an amazing day and were absolutely delighted with the quality of the food, high standard of service, organisation and how friendly you were with our guests. On a personal note, I particularly loved the desserts and couldn't believe how nice they looked when I saw them all laid out on the table. James would like to know if it is possible to order any personal pies as he hasn't stopped talking about how good they were since we left Gants Mill. Thanks again, and we really appreciated your helpfulness, advice before the wedding and hard work throughout. Best regards"

"Maddie, you guys are AMAZING! We had the most fantastic day - we're lying by the pool in Italy trying to piece together the big blur that was 6th August - total whirlwind - and one regret I have is that I didn't catch you properly to thank you. The food was perfect - we really couldn't have asked for anything more. The service was so professional yet relaxed and friendly - just what we wanted. I hope you and your staff enjoyed the day - I wish I'd been able to have eyes everywhere! Please thank them all for us. We'll be sure to recommend you very highly to other Gants Mill couples. "
