 Fiona Hill is an amazing caterer, and catered for my wedding on 7th June 2014. The food was freshly cooked on site, and the quality was outstanding, presentation was stunning. The service was of a better quality than I could of expected from anyone. They both were very friendly and I would highly recommend for any occasion as you won't find better!! Massive thanks to Real Food for making our buffet it was amazing and all our guests said how beautiful it was.

You will also be in need of some fantastic wedding photographers – we know the perfect ones. Essential Images are highly recommended and will always make sure you have the perfect images that truly capture the story of your special day.  Jan and Malcolm always meet up with you before to really get to know you, and to put you at your ease before the big day.  And on the day itself, they will make sure they get all the best pictures without intruding on the proceedings – what more could you ask for?  How about this for a great review:

We just want to keep on recommending Jan and Malcolm! They are great fun and really make you relax! We were really nervous about having our picture taken - but no need to worry with these lovely photographers, they made it so easy and it makes such a huge difference because our pictures look so natural! Our photos were absolutely amazing and we found it hard to choose! Anyway we bought several framed photos and they are on the wall and we just can't stop looking at them! We can't thank them enough!

Good luck with your plans, and we wish you all the best for your special day.
