Mr & Mrs Hancox
" The service that the grand gave us was above and behind what we expected, nothing was too much trouble. We were renewing our wedding vows after 30 years of marriage so wanted a very personal service and wedding breakfast and this was. The serving staff were very polite and professional. It was just as we imagined and more... We can't thank everyone involved enough for the care to detail that was given. We would highly recommend anyone to use The Grand for their wedding venue if they want a perfect day, we already have friends that are having their wedding reception at The Grand next year. "
