So Fonmon Castle itself was everything and more: beautiful surroundings, the castle was amazing, the staff were fantastic. Every bride wants their day to be magical and special in every way.
But this was my baby sister's day and it would be extra special for her as we recently lost our Dad, so my little sister didn't get the chance to have our Dad to do all she ever dreamed of. So this venue was perfect, and it blew us away no doubt, but all her dreams and our wishes for her were short lived and what should have been the happiest day of her life quickly turned to great upset, causing many tears and some embarrassment.
We were absolutely appalled with regards to the catering. The cost of food totalled £3000 to feed 50 guests. The choice of menu was a Hogroast which was never served - it was a normal joint of pork, along with a variety of other food. We were informed that all food was freshly prepared but the dessert was frozen and was a bought product - not made by any chef as she was informed. The quality and quantity of food was a disgrace and the presentation looked like no more than an Iceland advert. It would take a great deal of purchasing proof or receipts to convince me that the food in fact didn't come from Iceland or maybe Makro. It was ABSOLUTELY NOT PREPARED BY ANY CHEF FROM SCRATCH AS WE WERE LEAD TO BELIEVE.
So overall what started off as a beautiful magical perfect happy wedding day for my sister was quickly turned into the worst day of her life, leaving her in a very tearful, distraught and heart broken.
