Love Letters

It’s hard to put into words what a great day both Sue and I had.   We had very high expectations and the staff and venue blew them away.   We have had so many friends and family tell us what a beautiful wedding it was and the best they have ever been to.

From the venue, to the delicious food, to the attention from the staff. Mary was tremendous from day one and for the day of Jen, Nancy, and Nicole were outstanding.

We cannot thank you enough for making a special day everything we hoped it would be,

Everything was fantastic!

All our guests raved about the food during cocktail hour and the reception! The staff was more than professional, and guests complimented how the staff hovered over the table and placed the plates down all at the same time. They thought this gave an extremely elegant feel.

Thank you for such an amazing day and for being flexible with the menu options!

Thanks,

Lindsay and Whis

I cannot begin to convey our pleasure with the entire experience. From the first time I called and spoke with Debbie who put me in touch with Laura and everyone else we had contact with, we were just blown away at how easy the entire process was. In only 4 mos., with the help of your tremendous staff, we were able to put together an event that our Daughter, her new husband and guests will remember forever.

The venue, staff, recommended vendors and food were simply amazing at every level.

Thank you so, so much.

Very Warmly,

Kimberly M.

Hello Laura,

THANK YOU and your team for an incredible fairytale day!!!

Meghan, the bridal attendants, and yourself are one amazing dream team.

You all worked together so flawlessly that you would never know it was raining, or that the barn was the back up plan.

The bridal attendants went above and beyond to help make sure I was OK and carry my train along with me to get the photos, even with the rain!

Everyone was so kind, attentive, and just beyond!

Also it was incredible how the entire staff made the transitions between buildings for wedding guests so seamless.

We have been receiving so much incredible praise on the wedding, the venue, and the staff.  I truly cannot thank you all enough!

I will forever be singing the Ashford Estate praises.  I will be sure to write reviews on the wedding websites as well.

Thank you so very much!!

Always,

Kara

It was incredible and definitely a day to remember.

Staff – Chris and I both felt the staff were very professional, helpful, patient and attentive. I have never been served like that before in my life! I am very thankful for all their help the day of the wedding. Shoutout to Brooke for holding our drinks, phone, and everything else we carried around, moving my shoes to the other room so they weren’t lost, making sure our food was boxed up and everything else that she helped with that day.

Food – The food was AMAZING. To tie this back with how great the staff was, Chris and I did not get a lot of time to eat dinner and were so sad we could not enjoy our delicious meals more. It was such a great surprise to have had our meals boxed up and sent home with us the next day! Truly the best surprise the next morning.

My overall experience was truly incredible. Between the exceptional staff, the most delicious food, and an absolutely beautiful venue it was the most memorable day of my life. I appreciated that all the rooms were very clean in addition to how nice they were!

I am incredibly thankful to everyone who helped make it possible!

Best,

Jackie

The day was perfect! Surely a wonderful memory for the bride and groom.

The food was delicious, the servers were accommodating and pleasant. Ellie was a big help as she made sure we ate and had drinks which time was hard to find to do those things!

Overall it was a great experience! The 70 degree weather in November also helped make it a perfect day!! We were very grateful Mary let us use the Keurig coffee machine in the morning as one less thing to remember on Sunday morning.

We have another daughter who I hope when she is ready to get married will want to have her wedding at Bonnet Island Estate!

Thank you so much! And OMG we had the most perfect night. Everyone went above and beyond our expectations!!!

Gianna was absolutely amazing from the beginning. We truly couldn’t thank her enough. The staff and everyone throughout the night were so attentive and thoughtful. I always had a drink in my hand and everyone made sure we ate and enjoyed ourselves!

I think our favorite part was in between the ceremony and reception when the staff set up a full table of the cocktail hour food for us!!! I could go on and on.

That was the most memorable night for us. We are SO happy we chose Merri-Makers!!!

The food was beyond and all of our guests commented how amazing the food and service was. Thank you!!!!

Happy Holidays 🙂

We were so thrilled with EVERYTHING at our daughter’s wedding!! Our guests were saying and are still saying that it was THE BEST WEDDING and THE BEST FOOD they have ever had at a wedding!! The service was IMPECCABLE! The Maitre ‘Ds were AWESOME! ALL the food was EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS!!!

Laura was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL throughout the entire process of planning and implementing all the wedding details! The rooms were more than luxurious and comfortable!!! WE ARE TRULY VERY HAPPY HAVING HAD OUR DAUGHTER’S WEDDING AT THE ASHFORD ESTATE AND MERRI-MAKERS!!

Our only tiny blip which was not noticeable to anyone except us, was that we thought there was going to be a separate Martini bar aside from the regular bar. We asked the Maitre’D during the last half hour of the reception and he said it was incorporated in the regular bar. It would have been great to have signage saying that when the reception started so our guests and us knew where to get the Martinis we paid extra to have. Otherwise, EVERYTHING WAS FANTASTIC!

Thank you ALL again, We have such wonderful memories of a wonderful wedding weekend!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas season!

Mark and Janeen C.
