We were thrilled to work with Merri-Makers and Bonnet Island Estate, and absolutely loved our wedding experience!
Our day was so perfect and magical all thanks to your wonderful team! In particular, we truly loved working with Andrea Muniak on everything. She was extremely thoughtful about helping us plan everything from start to finish, and she made the whole process very fun. She really thought of everything, especially with arranging our timeline to maximize time on the dancefloor! She was so professional, knowledgeable, kind, and very easy to work with. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Andrea and we were so lucky to have her with us!
The food was delicious and we really appreciated the Chef’s Table tasting in advance. It was helpful to be able to try out all of the food options and our guests raved about how tasty everything was. We lucked out with being able to spring for some of the extra items, and they were a hit! The Tomahawk steaks, scallops, and meatball stations were certainly favorites during the night. The halibut was a fan favorite for the entrees and all of the dessert stations went over extraordinarily well. And, we were really grateful that the team set up food for us in the Salon prior to going into the reception. That helped immensely! One thing we did notice was that our actual day-of wedding cake tasted even better than when we sampled the options at the Chef’s Table.
Overall, Bonnet Island Estate truly exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with how the entire event played out! The Boathouse Chapel space was exquisite and we loved taking photos around the estate grounds. That flower trellis walkway out the Chapel was breathtaking. The Salon and Bridal Suite were stunning (our bridesmaids were thrilled!), and all of the rooms were perfect. The Reception space had the most wonderful configuration, and we appreciated that you all took the time to think about how it would work best with our headcount and dancefloor.
Nancy, Lauren, Haley, and Emily were so helpful throughout the entire event. They were particularly good at making sure I wasn’t seen by Josh once we were getting ready day-of. I can’t believe how many things they thought of and anticipated in advance… it seemed like anything we were going to ask for was already taken care of! It made the whole event stress-free and seamless. We were really able to just enjoy the moments of our special day. And for the evening/next morning, Lou Ann was so helpful with making sure we got everything and taking care of anything we needed. Bonnet Island truly has a Rockstar team that’s assembled of the best wedding superhero’s out there!
After such a magical time, we’re big fans of Bonnet Island in general. Our only regret of the whole event was just forgetting to get a photo with Andrea, Nancy, Lauren, and the rest of the team day-of. We’ll have to come by for a visit sometime to get a photo later on!
We will absolutely remember our very, very special day for the rest of our lives. Please send our thanks and love along to the whole team there. We couldn’t have had such an incredible day without you all!
Thanks so much!
Emily & Josh
