So Summer is just about to depart us for another year and we at Arbutus Hospialitu  look forward to welcoming all you Autumn brides. 

If you haven't already started planning the finer details of your wedding menu and drinks, now would be a good time to start as it will creep up on you sooner than you anticipate.
