Dear Gianna

I have been meaning to send this for one month .. we just wanted to reach out and thank you so much for helping make our daughter’s wedding day absolutely perfect.

No words can express the level of service that was truly outstanding, and your entire staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and seamless to work with.   We honestly couldn’t have expected that experience.

We had our wedding here on May 15th 2026 and it was even more beautiful and extraordinary than I could have imagined. Not only is the venue absolutely incredible, food was delicious and the views, stunning!

The staff were absolutely amazing, from start to finish. Gianna was incredible throughout the entire process from when we initially toured the venue through the wedding day. Truly, the staff was the cherry on top of what made this day so special. I can’t thank you enough and will always hold this place in my heart. 💗

Hi Jane,

We wanted to send a huge thank you to you and the entire Bonnet team for everything this past weekend!

Everyone was so wonderful, organized, and supportive throughout the entire day, and we are incredibly grateful for how smoothly everything was handled especially with the weather challenges. A very special thank you as well to Kayla. She was absolutely amazing and such a calming presence throughout the day. She helped put our nerves at ease so many times and truly made us feel taken care of every step of the way. Please let her know how much we appreciated her. Despite the rain, the day felt so magical, and that is such a testament to the team you have there. We are so grateful and will always look back on the weekend so fondly.
Thank you again for everything!

All the best,
Cyerra & Sean

“From our first conversation, the team at Bonnet Island Estate made us feel like our wedding was their priority. They listened to what we wanted and personalized every detail. The venue itself is stunning with its coastal setting and immaculate grounds that gave us exactly the backdrop we imagined for our day. The staff is extremely professional, and has a wealth of information and guidance for planning. On the wedding day, everything ran like clockwork thanks to their careful planning and attention to the little things. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how elegant and beautiful the day was. The food is outstanding as well!”

Our experience with The Ashford Estate was truly beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we booked our wedding, we knew the venue was beautiful, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the people behind it all. Every single person we worked with was incredible — professional, kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect.

The staff absolutely waited on us hand and foot the entire day. We never once had to worry about a single detail because they were always one step ahead, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we, along with our families and guests, were taken care of at all times. They made us feel so special, supported, and completely able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day.

A very special shoutout to Devin, Debbie, and Laura, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail, warmth, organization, and genuine care made such a huge impact on our experience. They truly went above and beyond for us, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our day feel seamless and unforgettable.

The food was also absolutely incredible. We received endless compliments from our guests not only about how stunning the venue was, but also about how amazing the food was from start to finish. Everything was beautifully presented and exceeded every expectation we had.

The Ashford Estate gave us the wedding of our dreams. Between the breathtaking grounds, the exceptional service, the amazing food, and the incredible team behind it all, the entire experience felt magical from beginning to end. We will forever be grateful for the memories created there and cannot recommend this venue enough to future couples.

Mallard Island Estate made planning our wedding such a smooth process. Gianna and her team were thorough in their communication every step of the way, and they really shined on the day of our wedding by coordinating everyone and making sure the whole event ran like clockwork. The venue itself is spotless and sized perfectly for our guest list—not too big, not too small. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, and honestly, we felt the same way. The staff went above and beyond with their recommendations and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend Mallard Island Estate to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue.

We got married at Mallard Island Estate in April 2026. My guests are still talking about how incredible the food and the staff were. We absolutely loved going to the food tasting and we enhanced and personalized our menu after it. My husband is Brazilian and we were able to add foods from his culture and they were executed perfectly. It was my dream wedding, and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it.

Laura,

Caitlin and I just wanted to thank you for everything over the past 14 months. The day could not have went better and you were so instrumental in helping us throughout the way.

Besides the fact that obviously the ashford is beautiful, the staff is unbelievable. I have never been treated so great in my life. I kept telling them, I swear we are not spoiled!

I did want to give one particular shout out to Megan. She was so amazing. She did such a good job and the day ran so smoothly (obviously because of others too) but she really was the head of the snake. She was thoughtful, responsive, kind, and amazing to be around.

Thank you again!!

Rob and Caitlin
