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
