We honestly could not have imagined a more perfect wedding experience than the one we had at Clarence House. From the very beginning, Steve made the entire planning journey feel enjoyable and exciting. He was incredibly attentive, supportive, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. Every detail was handled with so much care, and his passion for what he does truly shines through. He made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and we are so grateful for all of his guidance and support along the way!! On the night itself, Kaz was nothing short of extraordinary. She went above and beyond in every possible way and made sure we were comfortable, calm, and completely looked after from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her warmth, kindness, and dedication meant the absolute world to us. She truly bent over backwards to make sure everything ran perfectly. The venue itself was absolutely breathtaking, the service and food was 10/10, and the atmosphere they created for our wedding is something we will cherish forever. Choosing Clarence House was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning journey and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Thank for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime 🥹 Love Niko and Sandrene xx
