"I would like to congratulate the staff at the castle for extraordinary service and the meals that we had. Also I couldn't be more grateful for how the day was organised and went all day . The package they offered my son and now his wife, was 110%. especially the fireworks at the end of the night.
Anyone that wants a wedding there, then please don't hesitate in asking the owners. Once again a big thank you to the owners for a wonderful day.
