“Our experience with the garden bar and kitchen was truly amazing. We booked everything through email. We didn’t view the venue in person until 1 month prior to the wedding where we did an incredible tasting of our menu. Communication the whole time was professional and on point. Megan was truly amazing, so happy and welcoming. She went Above and beyond, to make sure everything was perfect. Even making sure my elderly grandparents got takeaway cake to go home with. The food was incredible, the drinks were endless and we had the most incredible party, the dance floor didn’t stop all night. We hit the jackpot with Megan and her beautiful team at the garden bar and kitchen.” – Emma
