Love Letters

First, I don’t think Blake and I can confidently put into words how blown away we were with The Ashford Estate and the staff members.  The grounds, interior and guest suites were immaculate and truly offered us a fairytale experience.  Our guests are still complimenting the beautiful venue as well as the meals.

Taylor, Jess and Julia – and all others involved in assisting Blake, I, our bridal party and families – were so helpful and sweet; staying by my side all day and night, calming my nerves, making me laugh and assuring we ate! These professional attendees truly became my friends that day.

I also want to thank you for offering us the option of hiring your housemen to repurpose décor during cocktail hour as well as the breakdown of the ballroom at the conclusion of our reception. Thank you for understanding I was the floral vendor and allowing me to fully enjoy our wedding from start to finish. I hope you loved our vision and appreciated the way our not-so-traditional designs decorated the venue.

Thank you again for your dedication and expertise throughout our entire engagement and planning process. Our wedding day was absolutely magical.

Sincerely,

Cortney D

Outstanding is how I would describe our day!

Bonnet Island is such a wonderful venue and Merri-Makers delivered on our dream.

The planning, tasting process and review of the event were flawless.

The attention to detail, professionalism of staff and genuinely nice smiling team made the day special.

We had so many guests comment on the outstanding food options and quality.

I wish I got to spend more time making my rounds during the cocktail hour because I heard the scallop station and Asian station were fabulous!

We were so pleased with the day, the commitment Merri-Makers made to ensure we had a spectacular day, ensuring our guests felt the attention to detail and your staff  showing genuine excitement during our event was truly spectacular.

I hope I get invited to another wedding someday at Bonnet (as long as I’m not paying!!).

Warm regards

Michele and Erin

We honestly had the best day ever. The staff, food, venue, everything was amazing.

I wasn’t expecting all the hands on attention as to the level it was but all the coordinators and attendants calmed me and made our day so great. They also literally followed me around and made sure my dress was held correctly and bustled correctly etc. an and that I had lipstick! They also allowed me to make decisions about what I wanted to do which was great. Everything was also timed out so well and the flow of the event was amazing.

I know for a fact that Mallard knows how to throw a not only a great wedding but the best wedding! We really felt special and like we had the best day we could have.

I personally did not eat a lot of the food because of nerves but everything I tasted was amazing. I had the sushi the caccio e peppe and the lobster roll and they were so good. Michael said the steak and halibut were excellent. Also guests said it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had. I liked the private cocktail hour it was the only time we really got to eat and also soak up the day.

I also really liked working with Bakeworks.

It was literally the best day and so many people came up to us to say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

We also loved the touch of the champagne in the bridal suite.

Thank you for orchestrating the best day of our lives!

Best,

Frannie and Michael

Thank you so much for your well wishes for Kayley and Alex.

The evening exceeded even our wildest expectations. The food, the staff and the overall attention to detail was remarkable.  We had many guests who referred to the evening as a 5 star restaurant experience.

Thank you so much for helping to make Kayley and Alex’s wedding reception so memorable.

Best regards,

Patrick and Eileen

Hello Andrea!

Tom and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the entire team at Bonnet for helping us throw what all our guests are calling “the best wedding we’ve ever been to!”

Every attendant, Maitre’d and server went above and beyond to make this one the most special nights for Annie and Brendan and all our family and friends.

As we were leaving in the morning Luanne had such a sweet message for Annie and Brendan that they were now part of the Bonnet family and I know that feeling will be with them forever.

All the best,

Kathy and Tom

Gianna,

Ciao from Italy! We wanted to send a gigantic thank you to you especially, but the entire MM staff for an unforgettable day and weekend.

Our experience was beyond our expectations, and every person made sure we (and especially Jessica) were taken great care of.   We were so fortunate to have such a beautiful day, but couldn’t have gotten there without all your help along the way.

Thank you again so much – we truly enjoyed working together!!!!

Jessica & Doug

We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. The estate is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff was magnificent.

Our event coordinator, Mary, was the initial reason why we decided to go with Bonnet Island Estate for our wedding. She is incredible. Her attention to detail, communication, and just general positivity made our wedding day what it was. We could not have done it without her.

She also helped put in place the staff that made our wedding day seamless. Our day-of coordinator, matire-d, bridal attendants, and overnight management were all so thoughtful, and knew exactly what to do with any issues that arose, leading to a completely stress free and joyous day for both myself and my husband.

Additionally, the catering through Merri-Makers was top notch. We received so much positive feedback on the food and service.

If you are considering Bonnet Island for your wedding, look no further! We cannot recommend the beautiful venue, estate, excellent staff, and amazing food enough
