Summit Manor

David,


We had such a perfect experience with you and everything at Summit Manor.  The wedding reception was beautiful and everyone had such a nice time.  We continue to hear so many great comments on the house, the general atmosphere, the food ... everything was great!  Thank you so much for all your work and organization, answering all my questions, and for making our evening so low stress.  We were able to relax, knowing everything would be taken care of, and really enjoy our party! 

Attached are just a couple of photos Chloe took at your house.  They turned out beautifully!

 

Again, thank you for a beautiful and memorable reception.

David,

The wedding completely went above and beyond our expectations!  We could not have asked for a more perfect day.  One of the best complements someone gave that day was, "This location is so beautiful and intimate!"  Beautiful and intimate was exactly what we were looking for...

I have attached some pictures...  They turned out so great!!  (Sorry if I went overboard:)

Thanks for everything, David!  We'll keep you in mind for future events...

Megg and Jimmy


Dear David,

David,

Katrina and I would like to thank you for all the hard work and help you gave us with our wedding reception last August. Everything was way too easy and wonderful to be true. You and your family's house was truly a Godsend for us. The food was fantastic, the staff courteous, and the house (of course) was gorgeous. We got nothing but raving praise from everyone that attended. They said they had the time of their lives! Best Wishes and thanks again.

David,

You advertise a unique and simple, low-stress wedding event, which is exactly what we wanted, and exactly what we got. In fact, sometimes during the pre-planning I felt you were so low-key that I wasn't sure events were going to happen! But they did. Things ran so smoothly, just as you said they would, and everything was perfect. We loved everything about the day, wouldn't change a thing, and we had so much fun! So many people told us it was the most fun wedding/party they had been to. I especially enjoyed the dance/dj, something I wasn't sure I wanted at first.

Thank you for all of you time, commitment, and patience. I really appreciate all of the extra meetings you had with us, and also for accommodating additional items. You did a fantastic job and were so great to work with. We would highly recommend you and Summit Manor. I want to have another wedding there! :)

We absolutely loved our wedding day, and thank you for your part in it.

David,

It was a pleasure working with you. Your calm confidence from the first time we met assured me that everything would be wonderful, and it was! Everything about that day was exactly what Erica and Alex had imagined when they talked about how they wanted their wedding to feel. I must admit that I was a little worried about how the wedding itself would come off knowing that we were going to be so crowded. However, even that had a special feel of intimacy as if everyone was truly a part of what was happening rather than just observers. Again, thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Who knows. . . we may meet again. . . I have two more daughters!

Hi David, We just arrived back from our honeymoon on Saturday night, and I had planned to send you an email today expressing our appreciation for all of your help and support in making our wedding so unique and memorable! It really was a pleasure working with such cordial and flexible hosts; we had a wonderful wedding day in your beautiful mansion!
