Love Letters

We are still wrapping our heads around the best day of our lives! It truly was everything we dreamed of and more and we owe a significant part of that to Merri-Makers.

From the planning period up until wedding day, Merri-Makers provided us with exceptional service. Special thanks to Andrea! Your staff went above and beyond our expectations. My family and I are still talking about how attentive, kind, and helpful every single person was.

Hats off to the chef and his team in the kitchen! So much respect for them.

Andrea and Nancy did everything they could to make our day special. We are SO happy we got to work with them. So sweet and incredibly accommodating. Brooke and Lauren absolutely crushed it. Kudos to my girls for being there to hold my water and to even help me change into my second dress. Lauren raced upstairs after seeing me head up there solo (I wanted to change into my afterparty dress!). She was there when I needed someone and I will forever be grateful for that! The best team!

I consider my family and I “foodies” and can say with confidence that Merri-Makers provided us with the most delicious and beautifully displayed food we have had and probably will ever have at a wedding. The only regret we have is not eating more!!

From the bottom of our hearts – THANK YOU! We will always have be grateful for everything you and your company did to make our wedding day perfect.

With love,

Ashley + Joe L

Thank you so much for your well wishes! We had an absolutely incredible wedding day, the last two months of our lives feel like a dream!

I’m so sorry for the delayed response, we had a lot to catch up on when we got back to reality lol

Merri-Makers exceeded our expectations in every way from start to finish.  The professionalism we received from the entire staff was world class.  The food tasting blew us away with how much we were offered, how incredible everything tasted, the presentation & the individual attention we received.  We also loved that we got our own table as it made us more comfortable sharing our opinions with one another.

The flexibility of the menu prior to the wedding really allowed us to make the menu the absolute best we could for our budget by allowing changes to both our guest count and the menu up until two weeks before.  The attention to detail by Merri-Makers staff the night of the wedding was noticed by every single guest.  The way the food was presented and served was so formal and professional it took the wedding to the next level.  From cocktail hour through the after party we received compliments on the food from almost everyone.  We enjoyed every bite of our meals and so did our families.  Both of our parents had people at their tables drop their silverware after their first bite in awe of how good it tasted! We also had one guest with strict allergy and religious dietary requirements who was blown away by the special meal made for him.

We truly are so happy we chose Merri-Makers and there is not one thing we could think of to complain about.

Thank you so much for playing such a crucial role in our wedding day and exceeding our expectations as well as our guests!

Thanks again,

Amanda + Josh

The food, staff and venue were spectacular.  Merri-Makers/Bonnet Island really knows how to host an event.  We received many compliments from our guests.

We will recommend you to our friends.  And don’t let Andrea get away, she’s amazing.

The Ashford Estate is the most breathtaking wedding venue! Not only is it the most gorgeous property, it provides everything you need for the most special day.

The service was outstanding from Laura and the rest of the staff throughout the whole process. Not to mention, the food provided by the catering company, Merri-Makers, is incredible!

Multiple of our guests commented it was the best wedding venue they have ever been to. I couldn’t recommend the Ashford Estate and Merri-Makers Catering enough

The wedding venue Ashford Estate I had the pleasure of visiting was truly exceptional.  From the stunning view, the beautifully landscaped gardens, it was the perfect backdrop for a romantic wedding.  The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Bob, he is a very nice person.

The workers at the wedding venue were simply amazing.  They were attentive to every detail, making sure that every aspect of the wedding was beyond to make sure the bride and groom were happy and satisfied with every aspect of their special day.

The venue itself was breathtaking, with beautiful architecture and elegant décor.  The wedding space was spacious, comfortable, ad well-lit, making it the perfect place for a wedding reception.  The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes.

Overall, I would highly recommend this wedding venue and its workers to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding experience.  The venue and staff exceeded all expectations, and I would not hesitate to give them a 5-star rating.  They truly made the wedding day unforgettable, and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and dedication.

The whole wedding experience was fantastic.  Everything from the venue to the food, staff, and rooms were beyond reproach.

Everyone raved about the cocktail snacks!

I couldn’t have asked for more.

Best,

Peter

Hi Andrea!

Thank you so much for making yesterday the best day of our lives! It was everything we ever hoped for and more. First, I want to thank you specifically for all your support and help leading up to the wedding day. I didn’t have a wedding planning so having your support throughout was SO appreciated.

Secondly, I want to thank the day of staff who were so amazing!!! Nancy, Jordan, and Haley were by my side all day, I didn’t even have to think! Everyone has been raving about them and how amazing they truly are.

Again, we appreciate you and will forever be complimenting Bonnet Island to everyone we know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Love,

Christina & Casey

We were beyond thrilled with our wedding! Andrea, Lauren, Nancy & team did such a wonderful job anticipating our needs day-of, coordinating with vendors leading up to the day and moving the day along in such a smooth and lovely way. They were so professional, warm & welcoming – an absolute pleasure to work with!

Guests continue to rave about how it was truly one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended. The team was also very accommodating to Jack’s grandparents and our family & friends in general, making sure everyone was taken care of. Bonnet Island’s gardens, dock, facilities, overnight suites and venue grounds are gorgeous. Everything was a 10/10 for us!

We also were very impressed with how Bonnet was able to accommodate my very severe peanut / tree-nut allergy. There were quite a few iterations to the menu but Andrea, Chef Jack and team remained patient with us.

We couldn’t be happier with our big day! Thanks to Merri-Makers for making it so very wonderful for us.

Best,

Sarah
