Amazing staff and coordinator!!
We had the most perfect wedding reception at Guilford. Everything went so smoothly and even if it didn't, we didn't notice and neither did our guests. We've heard so many wonderful things from friends and family about Nicole-Guilford's amazing event coordinator, Bill - and the rest of our bartenders, the food, and the space in general. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and attentive and there was barely a moment where we weren't being taken care of.
It's very clear the skill and years of experience Nicole has in the industry, as she helped us very quickly navigate through details we hadn't considered in a very short timeframe. The menu and execution was masterful and we appreciated all the flexibility while we hashed out what we wanted with Chef. Again, we've only heard incredibly positive remarks about the food. We were able to bring our vision to this beautiful space and the staff exceeded our expectations. Don't sleep on this beautiful space for your wedding.
