The best day of my life

I can’t explain how amazing Leanne and the team have been throughout the whole wedding planning process and on the day. From the moment we booked I never felt like a bother when dropping an email and Leanne and Charlotte before her were extremely responsive. If you are looking to have a really supportive venue that really want the best day for you then The Grand Hotel Sunderland is the place for you ❤️
