A wedding planning tip from me

When planning your wedding day ensure that all your suppliers have either worked at this venue before or are able to visit in advance especially if bringing large items of equipment. Due to the fact it is a fort it’s not perfect for supplier access but with careful planning and preparation it can be done with ease.
