Love Letters

Our wedding was a wonderful day and we were beyond impressed with the Merri Makers staff.  My bridal attendants we incredibly helpful the entire day marking sure that I had what I needed and assisting with our photo session before the ceremony.

We also really appreciated how smoothly Mary and the Maitre d’ made sure that everything ran.  All of this was in on top of amazing food that our guests were raving about.

We had a great time and loved working with the Merri Makers crew.

Thanks!

Everything was so delicious! There’s lots of flexibility in the menu selection, but you’ll find it hard to go wrong with any of their standard stations/ selections.

As a bride I thought I’d miss out on the cocktail hour food but to our surprise the staff arranged mini plates for us to try a bite of everything! It was so thoughtful and the food was so yummy! My personal favorite was the ramen bar!

Hands down the best decision we ever made was booking our wedding at Mallard! From start to finish, everything was handled so professionally and seamlessly, I truly never felt stressed in the process and always knew I was in good hands.

Not only is Mallard the most beautiful venue space, the people who work with you throughout the wedding planning process and those there the day of are unmatched. Gianna is the most organized, kind, helpful and diligent coordinator I could ever ask for. She made every step so clear and she was incredibly responsive to any ask. The day of we felt so relaxed, knowing Gianna and the Mallard staff were going to be there to handle absolutely everything for us.

Our day went so perfectly, sometimes I still pinch myself and cannot believe how truly seamless it was. A million times over I will recommend this place!!!!

Hi Kristi,

We all had a wonderful time at Bonnet Island! From the beginning working with Mary to the day of the wedding everyone was so helpful, friendly and accessible. The entire process was so organized and easy for us.

Everyone raved about the food—cocktail hour, main course, and desserts. It was a spectacular presentation!

Although I don’t remember names, the bridal assistants and overnight manager were wonderful and so helpful.

Thank you all!

Jackie

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,

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.
