“From the moment we reached out to the Saphire Estate, their communication was quick and prompt. We went in to this tour thinking we were gunna book elsewhere but the cocktail hour space took our breath away! Anne (our coordinator) and all the staff that day never let a detail go, they were attentive without being overbearing. They handled the few issues we had quietly & efficiently. We had the very best day, & a lot of it had to do with the staff, they run a well oiled machine & handle things with grace & understanding. Anne, Jeannie & Judy made our day go off without a hitch!”
