We had the most fantastic day, everything went brilliantly. In the run up to our wedding we can honestly say that Abbie was fantastic, always on the end of the phone or an email answering all questions and giving great advice. The venue is beautiful, full of history. Thank you to Abbie and staff from the Guildhall
