Dear Danielle,

Words cannot express our gratitude for the beautiful reception Renee and Jake had at Willowdale Estate on September 15th. The place looked beautiful inside and out. Many of our guests remarked on the beauty of the house as well as the grounds. The food was artfully presented and delicious. We had guests visiting from California who commented that it was the best meal they had eaten on their trip east. We were so pleased that the weather cleared so that our guests could enjoy the house as well as the courtyard. It looked so lovely at night as well with the soft lighting highlighting the building and the courtyard. It just couldn’t have been any better.Danielle, you were wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Your warm personality, attention to detail, and follow through made all the difference. This was our first wedding as parents and your handling of everything at Willowdale made the experience less stressful than we anticipated. Thank you so much for all that you did, including those things that we know of and all the things you did behind the scenes that we were unaware of. You made all the difference!! We wish you and Briar every success as you continue this venture. We will certainly sing your praises as will our guests who enjoyed themselves immensely.

With gratitude,
Pat & Gary Canning

Willowdale Estate is certainly an exciting new venture. The amount of work and care that has gone into the renovations is inspiring. All of the clients that I have brought to Willowdale Estate have been extremely impressed with its beauty, charm and the staff as well. I am excited in the direction that the estate is going in and look forward to a long relationship with them as a preferred wedding venue.

Dear Danielle & Briar,

We’re back from our honeymoon and we would be remiss if we didn’t send a note to let you know just how much we enjoyed our wedding at the Willowdale Estate on September 2nd. You never would have known that you just opened your doors for business this summer because everything went perfectly down to the most minute detail. The setting and the facility are a site to behold – especially when fully decorated for a wedding. Comments we have routinely heard from our guests include “By far the best wedding I’ve ever been to” and “I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place for a wedding”. And the food, well, let’s just say it was nothing short of culinary perfection.Danielle and Briar, you were each a pleasure to work with. Easy-going and friendly to both of us during the initial planning stages and all business when it mattered. The flawless execution and attention to detail exhibited by both of you are a testament to your experience managing weddings and you really came through on our wedding day. And, the rest of the staff at Willowdale complement your high standards – we felt like we were at a five-start resort.Thank you again for all your hard work and best of luck to the Willowdale Estate as the next great destination in New England to get married.

Best Regards,
David and Liza Snyder

I want you two to have this in print.

THE WEDDING WAS FABULOUS!!!!

We have been getting compliments from our friends and relatives nonstop. It is very easy to say this is the best wedding ever while it is going on but after the fact the comments include “this was a lot nicer than the wedding I had for my daughter”. “The food was the better than any function”, “The tent was really nice”, “the service was great”, “the area was beautiful”.

You two should be very proud of the work you did and the results of your work.

I wish you the best luck with Willowdale Estate and I am sure that it will become the IN place to have a function.

Briar, you should be very proud to have Danielle represent you and your parents should be very proud of the job you did. It carries on the greatness of the Kendall Hotel.

Sincerely,
Joe Cullinan
