Wonderful email from a very happy Groom:

"We just wanted to email and say a massive thank you for everything at our wedding last week! From the very beginning, the planning, the help up to and on the day, the entire team (Nicky is amazing,) the FOOD. Everything was just amazing, we got so many compliments over the food and people were really impressed with how professional and helpful the team were throughout the day! We couldn't have done it without you guys, and we couldn't have asked for more! You exceeded our expectations! Thank you again, and hopefully we'll only get married once, but if we know anyone looking for caterers we will definitely send them your way!"

Wonderful email from Amy and Tom who tied the know at the stunning Ramster Hall on NYE!

"Thank you to you and the team for making our day SO INCREDIBLE!!!! You were all absolutely amazing and we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail, making sure that we were well looked after, honestly we will forever be grateful to you and all of your team for going above and beyond to make our day so special. We always knew that we were in safe hands with you and your team but you exceeded any expectation we could have had. The food was AMAZING!!! so so delicious and getting it out tasting that amazing even with the issues on timings, just WOW! We are sorry for the stress that must have caused on the day but are so grateful you made it such a success despite the chaos it must have caused! The canapés, the mojo sauce!!!! So many of our guests have been commenting on how incredible the food was! It was amazing that the food tasted just as good on our wedding day, when you were cooking for 140 guests as it did when you made it for us two back in the summer! The attention to detail with the guests with dietary requirements were second to none! With that many guests, I didn't think it would be possible for you to locate guests easily, but you did just that!

Nicki and David were absolutely amazing too. They were so personable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all looked after. Helping with Tom's nan with dementia, and all of their help with the sparkler shot, even going as far to bring candles out to light them when we couldn't find the lighters!

We will be forever grateful to you and your team for bringing our dream day to life and going that extra mile to make sure that we and our guests had a day that we'll never forget!
P.S. There are some great photos of your wonderful team from the photo booth :)"

Such a fantastic testimonial sent by Jess at Meadow Weddings, we were so honoured to be part of yours and Duncan's big day! :) Check out these wonderful images by our talented friend Paul Fletcher Photography, with the majority of the meat grown on their own farm, and cooked in handmade bbq's especially for the job, this was a total dream for us!
“Words cannot describe how happy we are with our wedding catering from Jacqueline and everyone at Kelmsley Catering. Jacqueline’s approach is so personal – she listened to what we were looking for and combined that with her ethos of using the best local, sustainable ingredients to create the perfect menu for us. On the day, the team was so professional, yet friendly – they made the day run so smoothly but also added to the great atmosphere of the wedding. And the food... I cannot explain how delicious everything was, from the canapes to the wedding breakfast to our fajitas in the evening – the food was fresh and flavourful and looked beautiful too. Our guests all commented on how great the meal was – we are still talking months later about the pork belly canapes! Thank you so much everyone at Kelmsley. J&D”
