the most Perfect wonderful and enjoyable day!
We just want to say that we had the most PERFECT, wonderful, seemless and enjoyable day!! We never ever expected it to go the way it went - and it's all down to you guys at The Fable. The service was just incredible, the food was so tasty (our guests would not stop talking about the food!!) and Abi was just an absolute legend. Totally in control and NOTHING was a bother for her. A lot of our guests, during the day and after, are a saying how it has been the best reception they've ever been to.

Amazing food and service!
We cannot thank you and the staff at The Fable enough for making Saturday the most special day for us. Everything was perfect, the layout, the staff and oh my god the food!! Everyone commented on how amazing the place was and just how incredible the meals were. The Lamb was probably one of the best things I have ever eaten; please give our compliments and thanks to the kitchen staff. Thank you for making the day so special, we cannot have asked for anything else from you and your team!

"We were extremely happy!"
We were extremely happy with the way Drake and Morgan supported us to plan our wedding reception. Organising our wedding during covid would have been so much more stressful but for the fantastic support we got from the team at D&M, and Gabriella and Daniel particularly. They were so accommodating, as our dates had to change twice and they helped us to find another (even better) venue when the one we’d originally booked unfortunately didn’t reopen after lockdown. The team were amazingly helpful!
