                Testimonials

                When we started looking at local wedding venues, we knew exactly what we wanted.
                We were after a venue that would allow us to have a beautiful reception with gorgeous surroundings, somewhere we could have some photos taken, great food and plenty of room. After meeting with Jenny and having a tour of Silks Events & Functions, we both went home elated. We had found the perfect location! Throughout the process, Jenny was exceptionally accommodating and so helpful with planning the most perfect wedding day. She was prompt responding to our inquiries (and many questions) and was so obliging with all of our ideas. The team at Silks did an amazing job setting up the reception space and were able to flawlessly relocate our "Canapes on the Deck" when it started pouring with rain. Our family and friends still rave about the beautiful location and delicious food every time we see them. Nothing was too much trouble for the team at Silks and we couldn't be happier with our special day.

                Jenny, you and your staff were in a word, seamless! The service was impeccable all evening and everything ran so smoothly.
                From the lead up to the actual day, it was a breeze. The venue served for a perfect evening for everyone and they all had a blast!
