Connie & Alex Say...
Wow! What an absolute ball of a time we had getting married at the Victoria. We chose the venue specifically as it felt relaxed but beautiful and knowing its sustainability ethos was the cherry on top. Such a cool place to be.
For us, colour is so important and we wanted it to feel bright and full of energy! I provided the ribbons and the team were right on it with ensuring every inch screamed colour and fun! Even down to the team on the day having ribbons in the hair (how amazing!) I didn’t even have to direct, Emma and the team on the day got the styling down to a tee and just got on with it, absolutely nailing every detail.
The food and drink has to be some of the best we and our guests have ever had… the amount of guests who are still commenting on the butternut squash is incredible and that’s coming from some family members who typically live on pizza and chips! Going for crowd pleasers for the wines was one of the best decisions we made- the guests absolutely loved them and were very very merry by the time the evening guests joined (just what we wanted)
We barely had a worry in our minds throughout the day as the team just ushered us to where we needed to be and were so kind in getting everyone else to where they needed to be too! The guests even commented on how well organised everything was and how lovely the team and bar staff were!
We had the best fun of our lives (down to do a conga around the room at the end of the night) and the vibes all day long were just focussed on fun and all the love! Our tarot reader Jess was always busy and had guest queuing all night long and got such fabulous feedback!
Now to the band! Wow, the dancefloor was full and guests had the time of their lives- even when Connie (who cannot sing) was invited up for a solo! We could not recommend them more!
Overall, the day was all we could have wished for and more. The team made it so seamless and easy to move through, we were practically floating in clouds. We would 1000% recommend the Victoria to deliver on the wedding of your dreams.
