Outdoor Tent Wedding - Erica Loves Patrick

Lots of Laughs!






Lots and lots of bubbles!!!!


July Wedding at Fonthill

Dear Jack, Cathy, Ed, Fran and Team,

I should be writing this on lovely stationery, but I wanted to get it down while it was still fresh in my mind. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true in every way. I don't know if you had anything to do with producing the gorgeous weather, but I'll give you credit for everything else. I think the biggest compliment I can give is not from us, but from many of our guests. So many people told us that the food was beyond delicious (and we agree) and that this was the most fun wedding they had ever attended (I also agree, but I'm very biased here). Fonthill is truly a special place and you are a special group of people and I think that was apparent to everyone there.

I really have to thank you for all the extra care that you gave us. Eric and I wanted a traditional wedding that wasn't "cookie-cutter" and that's what we got in so many ways. Everyone raved over our custom menu as a whole and over specific items. Eric would like to know if we can just order some of that artichoke jalapeno dip from time to time!! The cheese was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the mix of crowd-pleasers (skewers, dips, fruit) and the unexpected items (quince paste, gazpacho). My biggest disappointment was that I wasn't able to sample everything, but I tried! Everything that I tasted literally surprised me because it tasted a hundred times better than my mouth was prepared for.

I also want to specifically thank Cathy and Fran for the care they took with us. Everything ran very smoothly and they were very kind to check in with us to make sure we had what we needed. We appreciated being served at our table so that we could chat with our guests. Cathy set up the tent and the ceremony very beautifully and really listened to our ideas about the atmosphere that we wanted to create and took initiative to keep going where my ideas left off. We were also more than pleased with Jimmy Ryan and the other vendors that you recommended to us.

Again, our deepest gratitude to you all for a beautiful day that we will remember with nothing but happiness!

Kindest regards,

Natalie and Eric Hart

Jack,
just wanted to take a minute to send you a quick note. I wanted to thank you and your team for a great job on our wedding day. Everything was setup perfect and went pretty smoothly. I have no complaints! I know the bride and her mother also had a great time and thought everything was lovely. Many of our guests loved the location, the food, and the setting.

Again, thanks to your team for hard work, planning, flexibility and patience.

Evan Penalba, Happy Groom

If you’ve ever been to Doylestown, you might have heard of Fonthill Museum with enormous collection of tools and history gathered by Henry Mercer. He also left a house behind, a gorgeous castle, where this beautiful wedding took place. Lauren & Evan came down all the way from Connecticut. Some of the highlights of the day were carriage rides, flying veil, awesome live band, great weather and a beautiful setting to have such a nice wedding. Prior to this we did an engagement shoot and I was surprised to find out all the different prints on the tables. I though it was a nice touch. They also had a great local caterer Memorable Affairs who was very easy and smooth to work with. The castle had a lot to offer and everyone had a great time as you can see in the photos … Gene Smirnov, Smirnov Wedding Photographer http://www.smirnovweddings.com/blog

Tented Family Style Reception Dinner in Doylestown at client's home

Dear Cathy and Jack,

We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your catering services for our wedding on May 30, 2009.

We had a good feeling about your understanding of the informal but polished style we hoped for from the beginning when we first met with Jack. Prior to the wedding, we appreciated meeting with you on site several times and your assistance in figuring out and ordering the necessary rentals. It seemed like we were on the same page right away, and that you were always available for our questions and to help sort out the details.

Everything for the wedding day was wonderful. The tables were set up beautifully, the service was excellent--I appreciated that the waiters came up to Madison with the clams casino--and prepared a special plate for us as well. Madison loved the clams, so thank you for helping me work that into the wedding. Our guests raved about the food--enjoying the pastas and chicken, and all of the wonderful appetizers.

More than anything, I appreciated knowing that I did not have to worry about how the reception service would go, that things were well under control and as we hoped that they would be. The wedding went by too quickly but we appreciated everything that you did, all of the little details, helping to set up the tables, moving the chairs, the bar setup in the courtyard--everything that made the day special and gave our guests a wonderful day.

We are grateful that you were recommended to us and will highly recommend you to others.

Sincerely,
Beth and Madison Saurman
