Thank you so much!!   We are all still talking about how wonderful the wedding was.   We have also heard from many guests that it was the best wedding, best food and best venue they had ever attended.  It far exceed our expectations!

The staff and food were absolutely wonderful! There isn’t a single thing we would have changed.  The entire process from planning to the wedding day was made so easy for us.  The food was AMAZING and the staff couldn’t have been nicer, more accommodating and everyone was so pleasant and nice.

Mds florals was great, the cake was delicious!! We loved the DJ and photographer, video ( we brought them in but they were great!)

We can’t thank you all enough! You made all my baby girl’s dreams come true! It was the wedding of a lifetime.

Thanks again,

Kelly G.

Expectations were exceeded. It was more than we ever hoped for.

Everyone loved the food and the venue was beautiful. We are still getting comments today! We also loved the professionalism your staff upheld and how special you made Carolynn, myself, and even our parents feel.

We appreciate your venue and staff more than you can imagine.

 

Best,

Bruce and Carolynn

All I have to say is the staff, food, service and event grounds were beyond our expectations!!!

My only regret is I didn’t get to try all the amazing food like the scallops that everyone raved about because I was to busy greeting my guests. They were a big hit as well as the tomahawk station. All our guest raved about the food and say it was the best wedding they  been to.

Thank you!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Merri-Makers Catering for our wedding at the Ashford Estate on June 10, 2023, and they were outstanding!

So many of our guests told us that the food was incredible (especially the scallops ad lamb chops!).  The entire team provided impeccable service, and the presentation of the food was amazing.  Merri-Makers collaboration with the venue also created a seamless event and experience for our guests.

 

I have dreamt of having an elegant, extravagant, and memorable wedding my entire life. The Ashford Estate made all my dreams come true–and then some!

We looked at dozens of wedding venues around NJ and NY, but none even came close to the magnificence of this estate. The grounds are stunning and perfectly maintained. The food (which is customized however you like) was nothing short of exquisite. The staff goes so far above any other venue I have ever seen–they attend to each tiny detail, coordinate with every vendor, and are a complete joy to work with.

To say the Ashford Estate is exceptional is, quite honestly, an understatement. We love this venue, and could not recommend them more highly.

Thank you, Laura, Debbie & team!

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Mallard Island Yacht Club and it was Perfect from start to finish!

The venue was beautiful, staff was so accommodating, no wait times for the bar, cocktail hour was a hit and dinner, and desserts were perfect. Our guests are still raving about it!

The wedding planning process was flawless.

Andrea & team,

WOW!!!! Sunday exceeded all our expectations. It was beyond perfect. My parents, Jack & I can’t stop reminiscing over every detail and how flawlessly Merri-Makers executed everything. It truly was a dream – thank you for everything and making it the most wonderful night for us. All our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about the venue and saying how it was one of the best weddings they’ve attended.

Thank you for making it so seamless and amazing (and for putting up with all our requests in the process!) The Merri-Makers team is fabulous – it was such a pleasure working with all of you. I hope we get to attend a wedding again there soon!

Thank You!

Gianna and her Merri Makers team were amazing throughout our planning process and especially on our wedding day.

I could not have pictured the day going more perfectly!

They were super attentive and help us have the most amazing wedding!

I cannot say enough about how incredible the venue and staff were for our daughter’s recent wedding.

The Bonnet Island Estate team guided us through every aspect of our daughter’s wedding from the day we hired them throughout every second of her actual wedding day and post wedding day, and they did so with patience, smiles, and ease. We felt so pampered and assured.

We have gotten only wonderful feedback about how much our guests enjoyed the food, the service, and being at such a beatiful location.

Our daughter glowed with happiness the entire weekend as we felt completely taken care of in everyway. We cannot thank them enough for the incredible wedding that will remain in our hearts and minds forever.

It really is true – Mallard/Merri-Makers do make dreams come true.  We couldn’t be happier with the wedding.  Everything was so amazing and we had zero stress!  I cannot tell you how many people came up to us that night, the following day and for days afterwards to say how amazing they thought the night was.  I have several friends that have worked in the restaurant/service industry and they raved about the level of service that we received.  It was a night that we will never forget!
