We were up against some big wedding venues. We are so proud of this recognition for our beautiful venue and would like to thank the wonderful couples who have held their special day with us."⁠

This wasn't the only recognition Knightor received on the night, with Weddings & Events Coordinator, Elena Sandford being nominated as a finalist in the best wedding planner category - a huge achievement for Elena, reflecting years of hard work and dedication to every couple that comes through the door! ⁠
