JANICE & PAUL
“We had our wedding at The ‘Florrie’ in Liverpool and what a wedding it was! The ‘Florrie’ is such a beautiful and “unexpected” gem of a venue. The planning process went well especially due to the help of the fantastic Karen, who went out of her way to always answer questions and meet our every need.
“What a place…. wow! Our friends and family couldn’t agree more, all commenting on such a special and beautiful place, from the stunning staircase in reception, to the Grand Hall and Victorian gymnasium where we entertained our guests, that make The ‘Florrie’ and our wedding day so perfect. It’s just a shame we can’t do it all over again, as it went too fast.
“We’d like to send a massive thank you to you, Anne and the rest of the ‘Florrie’ team. We had an absolutely amazing wedding - it truly was the best day of our lives - and the Grand Hall and staff played such a huge part.
The feedback from our guests (which included some of the owners of another local wedding venue) was that it couldn’t have been more beautiful, and the FOOD... well people haven’t stopped talking about how great it was. The standard was impeccable, and every plate piping hot (which is not always easy with 250 guests). Our day was just perfect and we can’t thank the team at The ‘Florrie’ enough.”
Special thanks for all your help, it certainly helped that you were so flexible with our package and that was the deal breaker for us. Other venues are so rigid with what you have to order, so it was nice to pick exactly what we wanted. All our guests said the food was excellent and they enjoyed the booze, perhaps a little too much, as it was flowing and we were all a little jolly by the end of the night!”
The ‘Florrie’ looked stunning (as it always does). The food was OUTSTANDING - we had so many comments on the day and after that it was the best wedding food they ever had! We really feel that we made the best choice in choosing The ‘Florrie’ for our wedding venue and we will treasure the memories forever.”
