A Great Day!

“The Maids Head hosted our daughter’s wedding. The support they gave in the planning and running of the event was highly professional and really reduced pre wedding stress. Service and food on the day met all our expectations and resulted in a wonderful day and very happy bride. The package offered was comprehensive with no extra charges, no surprises and was good value.

Weddings are our specialty and we love getting amazing feedback from our couples and their families. Well done team 👏
