Love Letters

Laura,

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything that you did to make my Christine’s wedding a true fairytale.

From A to Z everything was handled in such a professional and phenomenal way.  You and your staff are such

seasoned professionals that everything ran in such a seamless and fun way.

Your attention to detail and your cordial and kind staff put together a wedding that was beyond reproach. The

food was outstanding and everything looked just perfect. You can be assured that I will be talking about The

Ashford Estate to all of my friends who have children getting married.

Please be sure to tell Meghan and Lori how much I appreciated all of their help as well.  You all had the day’s

agenda down to a science.  It was truly amazing to see how everything came together.  Also, please thank your

husband for his food expertise.  Everyone was raving about the appetizers and the dinner.  It was simply

PERFECT!!!  The whole day was truly a dream come true for Chrissy and Michael.

I will be forever in your debt and remain,

Very truly yours,

Kathy D.

Bonnet Island Estate made our dream wedding come true! From the pre planning process with Mary to the day of the wedding at Bonnet Island was absolute perfection. Mary made the planning so easy and stress free.

The entire staff paid attention to detail and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. The bridal attendants were so attentive, helpful and friendly! The staff, service, food and beautiful estate were all so amazing that we received so many compliments from our guests.

We can’t thank them enough for how great they were. We highly recommend Bonnet Island Estate!

I want to thank you, Lori and your staff for making Brooke and Sean’s wedding what I always dreamed it could be. You were all amazing professionals and attentive to every detail. Please please share this with Meagan, who was our little shadow throughout the cocktail hour, making sure we were taken care of, she’s a doll.

I couldn’t have asked for more.

Thanks to you, thank you

Hi Andrea,

Now that we’ve settled back in at home, we wanted to send a quick note to say a huge, huge THANK YOU to you for everything you and the Bonnet team did for our wedding!!

We were thrilled with our wedding day and it couldn’t have been any more perfect! And that is absolutely thanks to your amazing help, along with Nancy, Lauren, Hailey, Emily, and Lou Ann that day. You made the entire wedding process so easy for us from the start of planning to day-of and we’re incredibly grateful for it!  Our families were very much at ease for the day, which was certainly thanks to everything you took care of.  It was such a joy to work with your team and it’s clear that you truly want your couples to have their best time ever. And, our guests have been raving about how beautiful the Estate was and how much fun they had the whole day. We know it takes quite a bit of work to coordinate all of the moving parts for a wedding, so we can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us.

Our only regret of the day was forgetting to take a photo with you and the Bonnet team. But Lou Ann mentioned the option of returning to the Estate for a quick visit on our 1-year anniversary (which we definitely plan to do) so perhaps we can plan to get a photo then 🙂

We really hope our paths cross again one day soon, but in the meantime, please know we’re grateful that you made our special day incredible!!

Sending lots of love to you and the whole Bonnet team!

Emily & Josh

It will certainly be a day that we will remember forever and look back on with the best of memories!

Everything was absolutely amazing to us and from everything we have heard from our guests. Our guests especially had great things to say about the cocktail hour spread. The food tasted delicious and we couldn’t have better remarks for the staff! An all around amazing day, made better by you all. We just wish we could do it all over one more time haha!

Thanks again,

The D. Family

What an incredible wedding. It could not have been better. Everyone in attendance raved about the estate, the food and the staff.

You are a well-oiled machine but with great personality.

The entire team did an outstanding job! The attention to detail, all with smiles made the day that much more special.

It is hard to imagine a better venue.

Thank you from all of us –

The V. & H. and all of their respective families and friends.

I am so excited to get back to you and share how much we LOVED our day!  We owe it all to the incredible staff at Merri-Makers and Ashford.

It’s hard to put into words how spectacular our day was. Best day of our lives by far. We were blown away by the support we had throughout the entire day! All the girls helping me were amazing, and the guest could not stop raving about how amazing the food and venue was.

Everything was perfect. We are so grateful for the support from Laura throughout the entire planning process. She was a dream to work with and I am not sure we would have been able to do it without her. Thank you thank you thank you! I have been telling everyone I know that this is the best wedding venue in NJ!!

Wanted to share a few photos (more than a few!!) this link should allow you to download if you wish – https://we.tl/t-IudxE8AWMK

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help support Merri-Makers and/or Ashford.

Karli and Bryan!

I wanted to take a moment to thank the entire staff at the Ashford Estate for the best weekend of our lives.

Down to the individual, each person made us feel like royalty. Literally our every need was met, sometimes before we even anticipated it. I actually said to guests, “I felt like there were invisible elves who magically appeared and I had no idea how or when stuff got done!”

The bridal attendants were attentive, lovely and kind without ever getting in the way…

The bartenders who miraculously memorized guests’ drink orders….

The Maitre d and wait-staff continuously swooped in as if they were reading my mind…

The food was BANGIN’.. (the #1 most loved food by our guests were the scallops during cocktail hour)

The grounds were BEAUTIFUL….

And a few “moments” that stood out—-

*the ladies holding closed the barn doors, right before my daughter walked down the aisle, were so sensitive, understanding and kind to her when she was too nervous to go in…

*How I walked in during rehearsal drop off, babbled what all the stuff I was dropping off was for…

and it all appeared in the correct place at the correct time with the most adequate amount of care!!!

*Taylor, keeping my ROWDY family in line before being announced in reception and getting them to listen to her…

(no small feat HAHA)

I thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

Most Sincerely,

Paige T. (MOB and forever fan of Ashford Estate)

Lauren and Mark’s wedding was magnificent! We were so happy we choose to have our daughter’s wedding at the Ashford Estate. Every detail was perfect, the food was delicious, and the staff was so attentive and kind.

Lauren and Mark had a dream wedding and they couldn’t be more thankful for the wedding experience at the Ashford Estate. If we could change anything it would be that we extended the cocktail hour to 1 &1/2 hours as everything flew be that day. Our guests have raved and complemented that this was the best wedding they ever attended!

We want to thank you and the entire staff from the chef to the severs and the bridal attendants who made our day so special! Please extend our appreciation and gratitude to everyone at the Ashford Estate and Merri Makers Catering for making our wedding amazing!

Thank you,

Cindy & Dave B.
