Zaakiya and Muhammed Irfaan | An enchanting love story ✨

“Hi Jackie,
 
I hope you’re well and keeping warm this icey winter! 
 
I just wanted to pop by to say thank you so much for being such a lovely host on my special day.
I felt not just like a bride but a princess too!
I finally got to live out my Downton Abbey/Bridgerton dreams!
 
Your attention to detail and warm welcoming demeanour really made the day extra perfect. My family left with a new found friend and a beautiful place to remember in their hearts always.
Thank you to Stanley and Lorraine as well for holding down the fort and making sure everything ran smoothly.
 
I can’t wait to visit your magical manor once again!
 
Lots of love,
Zaakiya”
