"I’ve had several emails from people saying what a fantastic day they had, how well organised it was and how knowledgeable the Gable Events staff were and fun to be with. It’s been great working with your team, the information you sent me in advance was brilliant, you were always available to help me out with any questions and I was able to relax on the day and enjoy it. People are now asking if we’re doing it again next year but I’ve not recovered from this one yet!"
