'All went fine today. The venue team were really good/responsive - especially John (Sales Team), Sara (Front of House) and Debbie (Catering). Short but complimentary' Conference , January 2010

'I have to say a special "Thank You" from myself to both Emma and Chrissie who where fantastic! Without their help and guidance with regards to the table seating I don't know what I would have done. Everyone commented on how beautiful the food was and how much they enjoyed the evening and I have to say your team where fantastic,... very organised, very helpful and everything they did was never too much trouble' Rhys Jones Charity Event, May 2010

'I would just like to say thank you on behalf of my family for helping to make our sad occasion a special one. Everyone enjoyed the celebration of my nan and food was lovely. The ladies who were tending to us were very well mannered and catered to our every need so thank you again for all your efforts, they were greatly appreciated.' Funeral, August 2010

I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you. In a world in which people seem to fire of letters of complaint. I wanted to send you and the team at Aintree a note thanking you for your continued good work. I am a regular visitor to racecourses across the country and attend Aintree not only for the National meeting but also some of the Friday night meetings and as such feel in a fair position to judge what Aintree has to offer. The staff are first rate, the facilities are excellent but most importantly the atmosphere is amazing! This comes from you and your team and it should not be underestimated just how much your hard work is appreciated. I have always seen the Cheltenham Festival as the mecca of all jumps racing but I now put Aintree along side that meeting and that is some praise I can tell you. I have to give a special mention to the girls in the ticket office who are a very warm and kind public face for Aintree and gave me and my partner a first rate welcome when last year. Many thanks and I look forward to seeing you soon!!' Alan Gilespe, August 2010

Dear Charlotte, Could you please convey my thanks to Sarah and the rest of the team who looked after us on Thursday. You and them helped to make the day a great success. The service and attention was excellent and I hope to be able to recommend Aintree to others, and use it myself in future. Thanks once again. Gill Graham.' -AQA Conference, Novemeber 2010

Finally, me and Mark just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for everything you did for our wedding day. We really did have the best day we could have wished for, thanks for all the organisation and help from you and your colleagues. Helen Christie & Mark Hopkins - Wedding 9th October 2010

Morning all, What a good day! Many thanks for all your help and support. Even though we were down on anticipated player numbers I was pleased that we got to the 250 mark in the room - you can see though how security etc is not required!!! The stage and the room looked great and all the staff were their usual smiley selves. All left on the day with smiles on their faces which is what it is all about. I hope sales on the bar and food were ok. Many thanks once again - see you in a few weeks. Kind regards James - John Smiths Darts Tournament, November 2010

Hi John, Thank you for thinking of the 'Gilbertsons', it would be a pleasure to accept and reflect on two wonderful occasions celebrated as such a fantastic Venue. We are all well thank you, hope the same goes for you. Again many thanks. Andy. Gilbertson Wedding & Party, May & July 2010

Dear Charlotte, Just an email to say thank you for all your support, advise and help in organising our conference held last Friday. It was a great success and the managers were really please with the venue and the help from all staff. Thanks again! Best regards, Vicky University of Chester Conference, January 2011

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for your all your help and support last week and in the build-up to our exhibition. It is always a pleasure working with you both, especially as you are such perfectionists and strive to put on the best event and that truly shows. Both Paul and I believe this has been the most organised and least stressful event and this is largely thanks to you and your fantastic teams. Your patience and feedback during the floorplan stages was also very much appreciated. I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks to all the Aintree staff who were involved, I know you and the team have put in some long hours and have worked tirelessly in making sure everyone was happy and well looked after. Please could you also thank Richard, Emma and the rest of the catering staff who put on a great gala – the menu was really fantastic. We are asking for feedback from all the exhibitors and gala attendees and would also welcome any feedback or pointers from you as well – don’t know how, but we could make next time even better! Once again many thanks for all your help and support and I look forward to working with you again in March 2012. McColls Annual Exhibition, March 2011

To Charlotte, We wanted to say a BIG thank you to you for all your hard work in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself...We could not have done it without you. You have been an asset to us. Thank you again. Ahmed Family, Wedding 24th April 2011

Thanks to You, Chrissy and Paul and the team. Everything went smoothly thanks to you all. Cakes were gorgeous!! Pam Hall, Merseyside Police May 2011

This Particular event is a regular monthly meeting for us, and extremely important. Aintree Racecourse staff were superb from start to finish, allowing our complicated 2 hour running order, to finish exactly on time. The Catering and service was of very high standards. Steve Dickson, Chair of Sefton Chamber of Commerce, June 2011

Hi Charlotte, Just to say everthing was fantastic on Friday, lots of people commented on how nice the food was too. Please pass on thanks to the Aintree Staff who were on duty on Friday, they were really friendly and helpful. Sarah Jones, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, July 2011

Hi Yvette, I would also like to take the opportunity to say a big Thank You to you especially, but also to all the people involved in our Event today, who helped everything to run really smoothly. I had a lot of feedback from our Managers, the Foundation for Citizenship, and also the Schools (Parents & Teachers) about what an excellent venue it was, and also how lovely the food was. All the children seemed to really enjoy the event. Quite a lot of parents and teachers, as they left, said what a lovely event it was. I will certainly be considering you again for next year. Can you please pass on my thanks to all concerned and I look forward to speaking to you soon. Many thanks, Gill Arriva North West Knowsley Citizenship Awards, July 2011

Hi Yvette, A huge thank you to yourself and all the staff at Aintree for making last night's leavers dinner an experience for both staff and pupils to remember. Can you pass on my thanks, we were looked after from the minute we arrived to when we went home. Roll on next year! Leah Murphy, All Saints School Leavers Ball, July 2011

Offlands Wedding, 27th August 2011

Hi John, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to you and your members of staff who made our day go like clockwork, the service and whole day were first class, as was the food in the day and the evening buffet was outstanding. Also, thank Debbie, nothing was to much trouble for anyone THANKS ONCE AGAIN. The new Mr and Mrs Offlands.

We hosted the Acadamy of Marketing 2011 in July at Aintree Racecourse and as the Events Co-ordinator I was very impressed with the service received during all stages of the process. There was a good level of communiation during the booking and set up phases with flexibility to visit the venue on multiple occasions. During the event, all teams we came into contact with worked together to ensure that the service was punctual and delivered to a high standard in a friednly yet professional manner. We had a direct line of contact with Front of House staff during the event who covered the whole site and made sure that any arrising issues were dealt with promptly. The range of size of conference rooms, character of venue, media centre and excellent parking and transport links played an important part in making the conference so operatinally successful, but undoubtedly the personal manner in which the service was delivered will be remembered by both the University of Liverpool Management School and many of our 500 internation delegates. Katie Neary, Events Coodinator, University of Liverpool Management School, July 2011

Hi Charlotte, a HUGE thank you to you and all of the staff Saturday night was a huge success and we raised more than £1000 to send my nephew on to make his first steps in a special unit. Without your help and support none of this would have happened, so from him and me a personal thank you
Please pass this in to all the staff including the caterers, the food was brilliant. Claire, Birthday Party, October 2011

Hi Charlotte, Just wanted to say thank you for all your support during this booking and a thank you to all your staff who helped on the day, please pass our thanks onto everyone who helped on the day. We would definitely recommend the Racecourse as a venue in the future. Once again thanks for all of your help. United Biscuits Conference and Dinner, January 2012

Hi Charlotte, Just to say thanks for your efforts in hosting Saturday's franchise show. And in particular, please pass on my thanks to Sara who worked with us during set up and on the day. She was a massive help throughout. I don't take such things for granted so please pass on my thanks to her. Overall, it was one of the best shows we have done. 500/600 punters overall (usual is 400). Started very very busy and then kept a steady gentle flow all day - even during the football. Many thanks again & look forward to working with you again another time. Merseyside Franchise Show, January 2012
