“The team at River Cottage are all exceptional at what they do, every single detail was perfect, and the wedding coordinator, Lucy, knew exactly what I was thinking before I’d even thought of it. My husband and I were relaxed the whole weekend, the team liaised with all our suppliers so I didn’t need a lift a finger (until it came to putting a ring on it!).
