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

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

Some nice images of the day:

Dear Cathy, Jack, and everyone at Memorable Affairs,

We want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for a simply amazing reception on August 9, 2008. The staff was amazing, the food was to die for, and the design and planning was flawless.

You brought our vision to life, and the attention to detail was obvious as the night went seamlessly. We had family and friends from Oregon to Florida, from Chicago to Vermont - everyone said they had never been to a wedding like that in their lives.

Thank you for everything!

Katie and Jason Christiansen

Doylestown Wedding Reception

Cathy,

Now that Jason and I are back from our honeymoon and all settled in, I had to take some time and send you a letter to tell you just how thrilled we were with everything. First of all I owe a huge thank you to you, Fran, and all of the staff at Memorable Affairs! Everything turned out perfect thanks to all of you.

You have been wonderful to work with from day one. I was so impressed at how quickly you always responded and how flexible you were. Planning a wedding is always so stressful, but the one part of it all that I didn't have to worry about was the catering. You made the process so easy! I appreciate all the help you gave me coordinating my vendors, as well. As you know, many of them were working at the Fonthill for the first time and you were great about responding to all of their questions.

The wedding day went flawlessly. Fran was so helpful! Everything was set up perfectly and the day ran right on schedule. Fran was great at coordinating the wedding party before and during the ceremony. She was also so helpful with coordinating all of my vendors on the wedding day. She was so attentive to me and Jason the whole day. It almost seemed like she was in 10 places at once. All of the staff that was there that day were so nice! Oh my gosh and let's not forget the food! Although I didn't get to enjoy the actual meal, I heard from so many guests that the food was fantastic. I did make sure to grab as much as I could during the cocktail hour and the brie puffs were awesome! I'd consider a career as a wedding crasher just to get brie puffs every week! LOL!

You did a fantastic job setting up the candy buffet too. I am a control freak so I must admit I was a little anxious about handing off the responsibility of setting that up. You did everything exactly as I would have…and better. I had no idea the candy buffet would be such a hit, but the guests loved it. Actually the guests loved everything! In general, my mother is hard to impress, so congratulations because you impressed her. She hasn't stopped talking about how fantastic she thought the wedding turned out. Our friends and family have been sending us messages all week to let us know how much fun they had and how beautiful they thought the wedding was. From start to finish it was perfect!

If I ever have an excuse to host another event I will definitely be calling Memorable Affairs! I just can't thank you enough for everything!

Cheers!

Jessica and Jason

Dear Jack -

I know I am a bit late in writing this, but it still needs to be done. I wanted to thank you for the amazing job Memorable Affairs did for our wedding at the Mercer Museum on May 24, 2008. My husband and parents and I were simply delighted with how wonderfully everything turned out. Your staff was fantastic to work with, and made the entire experience from start to finish very easy and enjoyable. The location was stunning, and we received many compliments on finding such a unique and beautiful venue. But most of all, the food was amazing. Just about every guest commented on how delicious they found the meal, especially the appetizers. I know many of them went through the buffet line two and three times.

Overall, I could not have asked for a better wedding experience, and Memorable Affairs was an enormous part of that. I will absolutely be recommending you to every engaged couple I know. Thank you again for truly fantastic day!
