"We recently got married in The parade ring. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. To spend such a special day with our family and friends in the most beautiful venue, delicious food and most helpful staff was magical! We hadn’t heard of weddings held in the Parade Ring before ours, so to anyone looking for a unique wedding venue that’s caters for all, this is a hidden treasure! We just wish we could do it again. "
