Love Letters

Rachel and Wade are over the moon with their wedding day at Bonnet Island and I’m certain there were many many things happening behind the scenes, that we were unaware of, that made it a lovely day and for that we thank you all!

If there is one standout it would have to be the staff.  We had several guests comment on how wonderful and polite your servers are and that’s so important. They are to be commended for their excellent service!  On a more personal level Rachel and I will never forget Kayla, Sam and Ellie.  It has been said before that “people won’t remember what is said to them but they’ll remember how someone made them feel.”  This is precisely how we would sum up our experience with Kayla, Sam and Ellie.  They were so kind, incredibly helpful, amazingly attentive, and doing all the things we couldn’t do ourselves that day.  It was a busy afternoon and we really needed them by our side and they went above and beyond and we’re very grateful.  We will remember them always.  Please let them know how wonderful we think they are and kudus to Merri-makers for an exceptional staff.  They represent you well!

It was a day we will never forget!

Sincerely,

Rene P.

Dear Gianna,

Dear Laura,

The Ashford Estate was truly the epitome of a fairytale wedding venue brought to life❤️. The magnificent grounds were beyond compare, with every aspect attended to, obviously on a regular basis. The extremely impressive estate house was beautifully decorated and comfortably appointed.

We have never attended an affair with such delicious food, so attractively presented. Guests couldn’t stop raving about it!!! The service was absolutely OUTSTANDING. It surpassed our wildest dreams. The attention that was given to assist and satisfy Jamie, Nate, Rande and me, as well as close family members, was beyond belief. The staff seemed to know what we wanted before we even had a chance to realize it!   A special thanks to you, to Megan, and to Maddy- who went the extra mile to assure our needs were taken care of.

The wedding weekend was everything we had hoped it would be and so much more, thanks to all of you.

Warmly,

Judy

Hello Mary,

This is Theresa (Alis mom). First let me say that you and your staff are nothing short of FABULOUS!

I could not have asked for a more magical evening for Ali and Sam and our family. Please share my thoughts with everyone at Bonnet Island!!!

I cannot think of  one thing that I would have done differently…

Love all of you for this wonderful memory 🥰

And ALL guests have had the same to say about you and your terrific staff and beautiful venue!

Theresa

Hi Laura,

I’m sure you must hear this after every wedding  but we cannot begin to express our gratitude for everything you and your staff provided to Lauren, Keane and all of our guests.  I said to Ed that the attentiveness of the entire staff made us feel as though we were the only wedding you were ever going to host so everyone gave 200% of themselves!

Thank you again for one of the most magical days of our lives.  I hope to do it again someday!

Warmest regards,

Judi and Ed

Hi Kristi,

Thanks so much for reaching out! We can’t stop talking about that day- not only because of how fun & amazing it was, but because of how great you guys were.

The venue is obviously beautiful, but the staff & quality of everything you guys did was amazing. I’m drawing a blank on her name, but we had one specific bridal attendant who was so on top of it ( everyone was awesome, but she really stood out).

Nothing I love more than working with a group who gets it & you guys definitely do. Every guest we’ve spoken to feels the same.

Thanks for doing your part in making the day great .

Dave

Hi Laura,

Jess and I would like to express our deepest thanks for everything you did to make our special day amazing.

We truly could not have had a more incredible day.

Your hard work and dedication to us absolutely made the entire process seamless.

We really appreciate you always taking the time to answer all our silly questions and accommodating (Dennis and Jess LOL).

I can honestly say that you work with the greatest people.

Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our day special.

There are always those standouts who absolutely deserve special mention.

Megan (Is this the correct spelling of her name?) was our go to girl.  From the second we arrived until the moment we left the next morning – she was the real MVP.

Even in moments we were unsure, she was the calm in those situations, and took care of handling all the details.

She was always smiling, joking and making sure we were taken care of at every moment.  (I also really appreciated all the jolly ranchers too lol)

Taylor and Maddie were also standouts to Jess.  Always by her side running around for pictures, carrying her dress and veil, and touching her up when needed.

I know this isn’t the first time you would have hear the following.

Everything at the Ashford was spectacular from the venue, to the food, to the staff, to the care was taken to accommodate everyone there.

Jess, Dennis and I received so many wonderful comments about everything.

Comments like the food was off the charts and the selections were very unique.

To the venue was stunning and so picturesque.

I don’t think there a shortage of places where everyone took pictures at that evening.

Laura you truly make dreams come true, and we are forever grateful for everything you did for us.

Love,

Jess and Chewy A.
