We had a fabulous event thanks to EVERYONE at Merri-Makers. Rick and Haley went over the top with their preparation, planning and expertise to insure our “reception vision” was delivered without a hitch.

Since Tom and I had experienced Merri-Makers with our own off premise wedding reception in 1986, we knew we were in the best of hands 38 years later! Our guests from 1986, to this day, still talk about that party.

Our son’s wedding reception on 6/22/24, was no different! Our guests have described the event as “ magical, straight out of a movie, the most delicious food, and five star service all around!” “Great music, and really such a magical experience” despite the sweltering heat and humidity we all experienced. We know the memories of our very special Merri-Makers event will live on many years in the future.

Merri-Makers, specifically Rick Bott and Haley Waters, and the entire serving staff really went out of their way to make our event a once in a lifetime experience for us, the bride and groom, and all of our guests. The cohesiveness of their entire team, and preferred vendors, working together really showed. We appreciated all the help with the setting up and breaking down afterwards.

We would 1000% recommend Merri-Makers to anyone looking for a unique, one of a kind type of special event.

Truly the care, and expertise and delivery of our vision, could not have been more perfect. Thank you AGAIN, to Merri-Makers for delivering a world-class five star event.

Tom and Lisa H.
