TELL
US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THE THEATRE ROYAL “The Theatre Royal was beautiful. A period
building full of character. It was amazing to get married amongst
art, history and culture. The staff, especially Patsy and Kelly, were very
attentive and during the ceremony they asked if they could take a photo to put
on their website as we were the first same sex wedding they had hosted.”
