Hello Hermione, I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I have only just been made aware of this portal for reviews. We remember your wedding like it was yesterday, however it has been almost 2.5 years. If it weren't for couples like yourselves singing our praises, we would not have the business that we have today. A big THANK YOU! If you want to relive some of those memories, we now have an airbnb farmhouse that you can hire for your 3rd anniversary. Drop us a line, we are sure to look after our Bidja families. Linda & Ian Broad

Thank you Rebecca & David and of course your gorgeous furbaby 'Chloe'. Your glamping and camping set the theme for your gorgeous wedding and I hope it was everything you had anticipated for your day. I'll never forget the day you came for your initial visit and Chloe was in her element. That day was 'dog heaven' for her. I trust you are enjoying married life and we thank you for your kind review.
