We had the most amazing time!

"We had the most amazing time and without the coordinator Katie it wouldn't have been possible, she kept us cool calm & collected and organised everything. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was and they were all full up after mains! We felt brilliant on the day and could not have had a better time. The staff were very attentive and it's all just went down a treat."

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Riverside Lodge Hotel?

This is a hard one... I really love every wedding day and they are all magical in their own way! This being said, I did love the wedding that had a drag singer perform after the ceremony. This was something I had never seen before and was a lot of fun.
