Hi Laura,

It was magical!  The most perfect day!  Your staff was amazing!

My husband kept telling me how Megan was on top of everything, I knew that, but he was just so impressed.  We all were!  Not one detail was overlooked. I actually had a very close friend pull me aside at the rehearsal dinner to tell me that he was there to “run interference” on the day of the wedding for me.  He wanted our family to have the most stress free day as possible so he would be there to relay any issues with your staff.  I can honestly say there was not one second where I was worried about what was happening, what should be happening or worrying that someone was not where they were supposed to be.

Last night Nicole told me it was the best day of her life.  She got her fairy-tale wedding and it was better than she ever dreamed.  Hearing brought me to tears.

Every guest was in awe.  They truly loved every minute they were there.

Thank you so, so, so much!!!

Thank you,

Cindy Z.

Hi Laura,

I’m not sure any words I use to express how absolutely amazing our whole experience was could even come close to describing what we felt! The estate is gorgeous, the food was amazing, the ceremony spectacular and our evening was the best night of our lives. The staff was on point with every detail, there to guide us every step of the way. They were attentive to all guests’ needs and right there when we needed them. I barely ate at the cocktail hour as I was busy greeting people but what I did eat, a lamb chop and a guacamole shrimp taco was delicious. Everyone is raving about the food and the way it was all displayed was perfect. The younger crowd had a blast at the after party and enjoyed a little outdoor time with the heaters. They had pizza and danced until they couldn’t anymore! Even us “more mature” folks stayed around for the after party which is a testament to the good time we all were having. Most popular shuttle was the 1AM!!

Holly, Meghan Bethany were so patient with us, things were a little chaotic at the beginning but they were right there to ease our minds. John was there Sunday morning and he said there was another wedding Sunday. We are all kind of amazed that Ashford is able to do this routinely Friday, Saturday and Sunday! So much goes into making every detail spectacular. Obviously it’s a great staff and great leadership that gets the job done to perfection.

When I woke up Sunday I didn’t want to leave the estate.

Thank you Laura for enduring my endless petty questions for the last 2 years. You went above and beyond to make sure our daughter’s wedding was the best it could be and it absolutely was!

All our warmest regards to you and your family and the Ashford team always!

Warmly,

Jeanne and Ron G.

Hi Mary,

Thank you so much for making Kaci and Craig’s day so perfect. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant and easy to find when we needed help. The venue looked beautiful and the food was amazing.

Please give our thanks to everyone who made the day so special.

Regards,

Jackie

Hi Laura,

The wedding on Friday night was flawless.  It was absolutely perfect, thanks in large part to all of you at Ashford for your professionalism, impeccable attention to detail, and attentiveness to our needs the day of the wedding.

We could not have asked for a better venue, you and your staff were just amazing.

Thank you sincerely.

Hi Kristi,

We cannot say enough GREAT things about the wedding. The food was out of this world and all our guests are still talking about how great the food was at the venue. The staff was incredible as well, especially Megan, Taylor & Jen.

It was literally the best day of my life and I’m so happy we got to celebrate it at the Ashford.

Thank you for everything !

Hi Kristi,

Everything was really amazing! The service and the food were really raved about. I seriously appreciated having the attendants to help me out all night. And of course Gianna was amazing to work with too. We sent her an email thanking her for all her work and help over the course of the last year.

My only complaint is that I can’t come back and do it again soon!! : )

Merri-Makers does an amazing job. This is not your average wedding food by any means!!

Laura words cannot express our sincere  gratitude to you, your entire staff,  and also your husband and his staff for making this wedding such a beautiful sendoff for our Daughter Corinne, and Al our son-in-law!

We cannot tell you how many reviews were getting from friends and family of what a first class place the Ashford is and how exceptional the service and the food was!   There was so much love in the air that evening, and Mary and I cannot stop reminiscing which continues to bring tears to our eyes.

Thank you so much for your endless  support with Corinne over the last 12 months, we really appreciate that. You’re very special and it showed with your genuine concerns Corinne had  in planning the wedding. Thank you once again.

Michael and Mary

Also, Megan was wonderful !!

 

Gianna,

Melanie and I wanted to say again how amazing our wedding was and to extend a big thank you to you and all your staff. It was a spectacular event from start to finish, and the staff was attentive to our every need, with a smile on their face. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Our parents were also blown away by the service and professionalism of everyone.

We will have an exceptionally happy memory every time we drive by Mallard Island Yacht Club on our way to LBI for summer weekends.

Well done Gianna.

Cheers,

C+M

This review is very overdue but I couldn’t have imagined having my wedding anywhere else. From the second we walked in to MIYC and meeting Gianna (who felt like family), we knew this was going to be our venue.

This place truly has it all – the waterfront chapel, the outdoor space, the INSANE bridal suite, amazing food/drinks, and a team that will do almost anything you ask for to make your vision come to life (very rarely will they say “no” to something you want).

We loved so many little details from the dance floor opening up to the outside veranda to having a private cocktail hour upstairs after the ceremony, I can go on and on. They worked so well with all my vendors and made sure everything was executed flawlessly. This was the easiest decision we made when it came to wedding planning and if I had to do it all over, I’d choose MIYC everytime.
