Hi Laura, So wonderful meeting you too! Sweet of you to follow up and see how our engagement party went. Everything was wonderful and our guests had the best time. The private dining room was BEAUTIFUL. The food has been praised all week along with the consideration of the wait staff who fulfilled our every request. I couldn’t have asked for better support and for that I’m so grateful. Major thanks to you and your team for making such a stress free day. I’ll be certain to recommend Botanical Hotel to those looking for an event space. I hope you have a wonderful New Year. Sincerely, Nicole Chapman

Hi Kirsty! I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done to make sure our day was special. Your patience has been amazing and we’re so appreciative of how accommodating you’ve been. It went off without a hitch and was just absolutely the most special, fun and wonderful day we could have imagined. I meant to email you and let you know personally how just amazing Lilly and Maisie were on the night. I felt like they were part of our family with their incredible warmth and welcoming demeanor. They were professional and capable and catered to all our silly needs like arranging 18 tequila shots! They were just amazing and really made our night. Thank you again Kirsty. Please pass on our thanks to Laura, Lilly and Maisie. Thanks Trish Medved
