Above and beyond hospitality. Amazing hosts!
Jackie and Bill took their ‘superhost’ status to a new level this weekend. Their hospitality and generosity was amazing. Our son and his fiancé were getting married - their third attempt so a very small celebration in June 2021 with hopes of a bigger ‘do’ in June 2022.
Jackie and Bill were so thoughtful - they provided chocolates and bubbly for the bride and groom in addition to a fridge full of essentials for us. They let us turn their kitchen into a mini florists the evening before the wedding day as we made the bride’s bouquet and buttonholes and they let our little wedding party spend time between the ceremony and evening meal in their garden, cutting the wedding cake, opening presents and taking photos. Bill even drove some of us into Carshalton for the evening celebration. Their kindness, friendliness and sensitivity was really appreciated. It made such a difference to feel so welcomed and by sharing their home with us so sensitively and generously, they facilitated a really memorable, personal and intimate celebration. It really was so special.
Their house is beautiful but also homely and comfortable; the garden is peaceful and full of birdsong (it was also hot and sunny - maybe our wonderful hosts arranged that too) but most of all we will always remember the way Bill and Jackie made a small post-lockdown wedding weekend so amazing for all of us. Thank you so much!
