With Love and Thanks

I was lucky enough to get married here in October 2025 & I cannot overstate how perfect of a day it was! The location, interior/exterior design, & bay views all speak for themselves. What really made the day special was the staff. Every minute of my day I had someone picking up my dress before I even took a step or offering a hand to grab my bouquet in-between photos. The best thing about each person that was there was how much they would anticipate my needs. They would have what I needed before I even realized I needed it.

Beyond the staff- the food was phenomenal. After our tasting, we were excited about the menu we curated for our guests and couldn’t wait to surprise them with how delicious it would all be! Since the wedding, every guest who sees us talks about how amazing the venue was and how much they LOVED the food. They’ll name their favorite stations from cocktail hour or rave about their entree selection from dinner. It makes us so happy to know that we truly provided our guests with the best possible experience thanks to Merri-Makers.

If you book with Merri-Makers and work with Lauren, you’ll be well taken care of. She makes herself available to your every need no matter what time of day. We took our tour with Haley, and she answered questions for me all the way up to the wedding day. One of my favorite things was a candid video Haley took of me with my bridesmaids minutes before walking down the aisle. It’s a memory I’ll have and look back at fondly forever, all thanks to Haley! I’d also like to shoutout the Bridal attendants Hailey and Summer. They were the BEST! They were everywhere I was. They carried my lip gloss and helped me buckle my shoes. Literally were my best friends all day long. Other incredible staff was Kristi, Frank, and Luanne.

Each person who was part of making our wedding day what it was made it a dream come true!

Dear Haley,

It was the most amazing day and every single aspect of it exceeded our expectations. Every single staff member went above and beyond.  The food was exceptional.  We could not be happier!

Our son was married at Ashford Estate last weekend. Our friends are calling telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to….the food was amazing and the staff were lovely. Big recommend.

The entire Merrimakers staff are absolutely incredible. Our event planner, Gianna, was incredible. She made our day seamless and answered every question we had. The service is impeccable and unlike any other venue we toured. Our families and guest commented on the incredible service they received. The staff made sure our immediate families were taken care of the entire night which meant so much to us. The food is absolutely incredible as well. You have tons of options to upgrade or customize your menu. So many guests commented on cocktail hour and how good the entrees were. If you are considering a Merri-Makers property it is absolutely worth it. You will not be disappointed with your experience!

I want to thank you and your staff for a wonderful day. I have gotten so many compliments that this was the best wedding they have ever been to, the food was amazing, the staff also amazing. Many people who have said this are from NYC which seem to have  a higher standard. Thanks again for a magical wedding day for Ally And Andrew!

Thank you both for all you did leading up to my PERFECT day!! It was truly the most magical experience! Everyone that came, was so enthralled with the estate and the amazingly yummy food!

We want to thank you for everything you did to help make Sarah and Matt’s day so special. The wedding was magical from beginning to end! And you helped make the entire planning process stress free (as stress free as wedding planning can ever be!!). We appreciate your thoughtfulness and flexibility, especially given our unique circumstance.

Please pass along our thanks to the entire staff. Every person we worked with was so helpful and professional. Many of our guests commented on the amazing service.

The day was everything we could’ve asked for and more. The hospitality of the staff was incredible and the day was seamless. Everyone commented on how wonderful the staff was and special thanks for taking such great care of our families.

I wanted to say THANK YOU for making our day so special! Everything was exactly how I wanted and it went so so well everyone had such a good time!! Every single member of the staff was exceptional!!
