I just wanted to thank you so much for yesterday. You were brilliant! Great choice of music, all ran like clockwork and we had a great time, as did all the guests I believe!! 6pm finish was fine in the end. We certainly ended on a high! Hope you made it to Leeds in time! Many thanks once again. Sally
