We used Hedges and Hurdles for a corporate Christmas wreath event, and I would highly recommend. Lorraine gave an excellent tutorial and the wreaths all looked fantastic at the end. Lovely company, we will definitely be using again.
… What made it so special is that, by the end of the day, every single person left smiling and saying how much they had enjoyed themselves. The feedback was glowing…Â
It’s safe to say the day was a huge success, and that’s entirely down to you and your wonderful team. Your thoughtfulness, creativity and care made it an unforgettable experience for all of us.”
A heartfelt thank you to both Lorraine and Debbie for our event. It was the most amazing way for colleagues to spend time together in a non-work environment and, without fail, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. Lunch was perfect – and the weather made it even more memorable.
