Phoebe & Jack Say...

"A huge thank you to everyone at The Mowbray for the spectacular job they do. 

Jack and I went to university in Sheffield, which is where we met, so it was really important to us to have our wedding celebration in a venue that felt like it truly belonged in the Steel City. We had been peripherally aware of The Mowbray and secretly I'd already had my heart set on it for our reception, but the decision was sealed the moment we spoke to Georgie, Lucy and the team. Organised, passionate, creative, supportive and diligent. We couldn't have asked for more. 

The planning was easy and fun and added to the excitement for the day. Every question was answered and the team were so patient with our extra requests.

The day itself ran perfectly. The food! Every time we've eaten there it's been amazing! Thoughtful, high quality food that everyone was raving about, especially the foodies. 

You can tell the space is beautiful from the pictures, but the true magic lies in the team behind it all. It's a special thing they do there, and we're dying to do it all over again for our anniversary!"
