The Grand Victorian mansion was a perfect home to Yoko and Eric’s special wedding celebration. Close family and friends enjoyed a perfectly orchestrated event by Candeo Weddings, as Bethany from ‘Image by Bethany’ captured the day beautifully. The couple had a keen focus on fresh local ingredients, but with Asian inspired flavours.
Feedback
“Thank you for the amazing food! We had so many compliments from our guests. Everything was delicious, apparently the duck and mango salad stood out the most! We had so much leftover food, we had it for lunch and dinner for a couple of days, still tasted good!”– Yoko & Eric
