Loretta,

Annette and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for putting on such a wonderful reception for Caroline and Daniel on August 8. I asked Caroline afterwards what she thought of the reception and her exact words were, "It was perfect!"

Tina was so unbelievably great to work with. I have never met a person so enthusiastic AND competent. She was on top of everything and anticipated our every need that night. Please pass on our praises to her. She is a wonderful employee of whom you should be very proud.

And Dennis, the chef was fantastic. He came out and checked on us to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. People just raved about the salad, the meal and the wine, etc. He also did a great job.

Everyone who attended the reception commented on how beautiful and elegant it was. Loretta, we even received about a half a dozen "Thank you" notes from people thanking us for inviting them to such a wonderful reception. I think that says it all.

Again, our sincere thanks,

Annette and Guy Carrozzo

Cory & I just returned from our honeymoon - we are very sad about that!

But, we did not want to forget to thank you, Loretta, and all of the staff at Falkner Winery for making our wedding the most FABULOUS day of our lives!!! I was worried that moving the reception indoors would ruin the theme that we were trying to keep throughout the entire day, but it ended up being GORGEOUS. We have received countless compliments on our location and the florals! Everybody loved the food and had a wonderful time!

Eva - a special thanks to you for being a great wedding manager and making us feel like everything was under control and the day moved along just as we hoped! Our wedding party all loved you and said that you were very sweet and helpful althroughout the ceremony and reception!

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!

I'm sure we will be back to taste and visit!

Take Care,

Loretta,

Thank you for your kind consideration and professional staff. Terry will remember the event always!
Because I value referrals in my business, please know that I will be happy to offer a positive 'testimonial' should you ever need it. You also gave me some great vendor referrals - The cake was magnificent, and the videographer did a super job.

Eva was great and we look forward to seeing you all again for tastings, lunch or another party.

Thanks again,

Dennis

Dear Loretta,

I apologize for the delay in getting this note to you. The month seems to have flown since my father's birthday lunch on December 7!

I wanted to thank you and your staff for an absolutely wonderful event. The winetasting and hors d'oeuvres were beautifully presented - the setup and presentation exceeded my expectations and those of my mother. The lunch was perfect. I am so glad that our group fit in the room and because I did not expect that, it was a great surprise.

Of course, the real surprise was for my father, who could not have been happier with the entire afternoon. Between the great food, warm ambience and gracious staff, my mother and I were both incredibly happy and thank you for making his 65th birthday one to remember.

Monique was especially helpful in the days approaching the lunch, and we all enjoyed Jennifer at the winetasting. Thank you again, and Happy New Year!

Hi Loretta,

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all that you did in regards to our wedding. We are so grateful for all your guidance leading up to the wedding! Your prompt replies to our countless questions made the whole wedding planning process much easier to navigate and put us at ease as the event drew nearer.

Not only the planning, but your coodination of all that needed to happen on the day of our wedding was much appreciated. We owe you a big "thank you!" for making our wedding such a beautiful and memorable experience!

I also wanted to tell you how thankful I am for your help in gathering up all of our wedding memorabilia after we had departed.I was able to use the flower petals you gathered to make a gorgeous memory box. Anyway, thank you again for making our wedding perfect!

Sincerely,
Nicole & Matt Clymer

Loretta,

I just wanted to send you a quick note before my husband and I leave for our honeymoon in Fiji. Thank you so much for an exquisite wedding. I was so thrilled with everything. Eva is truly amazing, and I'm sure you know that. She made things so easy and had the answers to all my questions before I even asked them.

In addition, Summer, the waitress, was very sweet. She did everything to make me comfortable and happy. You have a great team, and I am honored to have had my wedding at Falkner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Christine Snyder

Hello Loretta,

I just wanted to start off by saying thank you. Your venue is absolutely beautiful and our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. The staff at your facility are very friendly, always smiling, courteous and all had such great attitudes. You are very well represented. The customer service was stellar!

Many of my family members and friends commented on how beautiful your venue is, from ceremony, to the barrell room, and to the dinner reception.

Also, the wedding manger was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely helpful, attending to all our needs and made sure that there were no road bumps on our special day.

I was running late on items, which I'm sure caused things to be somewhat chaotic, but she made sure everything was in place or handled. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

I kept hearing thru the grapevine "Loretta makes sure to take care of her people". They are right! Please be sure to let your staff know they are doing an excellent job in representing your venue.

Thanks again!

Dear Loretta,

We can't thank you enough. Our wedding was so beautiful and special. Our guests have raved about it. The venue was so perfect--it set the exact tone we were wanting. The lighting and views were spectacular! So very romantic!

You were a delight to work with making the process so smooth. Your staff was top notch all the way. We can't say enough about Eva. We had a non-tradiitonal wedding and reception and she was so helpful and accomodating. She made the wedding happen as we envisioned. Your preferred
vendors were fabulous.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. Thank you for making our vision a reality. We will have fond memories for a lifetime.

Thank You
Ann & Fred

Dear Loretta,

Well, the dust has settled a bit, the newlyweds are in Hawaii, and the guests have departed for their homes, so I now have a chance to write and thank you for the terrific wedding and reception at the Falkner Winery an The Pinnacle Restaurant. As a "casual" observer, I did not see any problems. As a "prime participant", I received nothing but rave reviews from virtually everybody regarding the facilities and your staff.

While all are to be congratulated, Chef Dennis and his staff are to be commended for the great food and perfect service. All tables were served simultaneously and the food was hot and perfectly prepared. The staff kept glasses full at all times without being intrusive.

Your wedding manager, despite having new family to attend to, was a stand out as our facilitator. I can assure you that, like any wedding, there were numerous possibilities for a disaster, none came to pass...short of the Minister forgetting Jessica's name...

Speaking personally, I was doubly proud as I was giving my daughter's hand to Damian, and I was enjoying it all from the Pinnacle Restaurant...one of my personal projects at Roessler Design Group. Jen and I are VIP members of your wine club, not because of the professional link, but because we truly love your wines. We thank you and appreciate the time you took...

Father of the Bride

Dear Loretta,

I would like to thank you and all of the hard working individuals who helped create our fairytale wedding. Everything was spectacular and perfect. You have a tremendous staff who all take pride in their work.

It was a pleasure to work with each and every one of them. Our special day could not have possibly gone any smoother. I would like to give special thanks to Eva, she was there every step of the way to ensure all was going well and to plan.

I did not have to worry about a thing. Again, thank you for our perfect wedding that we will remember for the rest of our lives!

Anna and Todd Farrell

"I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how much we appreciated all of your efforts in making our wedding day at Falkner Winery perfect. From the moment that we got engaged, Greg and I never could imagine getting married any place else. We wanted a day that was filled with family, friends, wine and good food....we got all of that and more.

Even the smallest details were handled for us so that we could enjoy our special day. To have our friends and family who are so spread out across the world all together in such a beautiful location to share in our happiness was priceless.

Unfortunately, it was the last time that some of our family would all be together. Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, Greg's uncle was diagnosed with cancer and he passed away last month. Thank you for making the last time that we spent together so memorable and filled with joy.

I will always be indebted to you both and all of the people behind the scenes that made our day so special. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Always loyal wine club members."

Terri and Greg Nutter

Thank you so much for the lovely venue, and for all that you did to make the wedding so wonderful and memorable. Everyone I talked to said that Falkner Winery was a perfect spot. The weather cooperated so well, too. We were thrilled (and relieved; those hot days were something else!). All the guests had a fantastic time.

Kelsey and Mel wanted me to be sure and mention the man who tended bar; Kelsey said he was just wonderful to them, and they really thought he should be commended........

Eva, you were just marvelous, and I know things wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly without your guidance. Thank you for being so masterful! You were calm, gracious, and very organized. I know I would have forgotten a zillion things had you not been there, and everything was packed and ready to go for both the couple and for us. (By the way, I left fans; if you want to show people those as samples of things for a hot night, feel free. Then again, the breeze meant we didn't even NEED them, so if not, feel free to toss 'em!) I really appreciated all that you did very VERY much..........

.........The food was delicious! Kudos to the chef. (Although I managed to miss the appetizers as I was so darn busy trying to talk to various people. Guess that's just the mother of the bride problem, though. Ah well. I'll have to get back down there someday to sample some more of the wonderful food at the restaurant!) The wine was, as we knew it would be, wonderful. Many comments were made on both. Thank you for getting the beers we requested. Your staff was non-intrusive when cleaning up in the garden area. And of course it was all incredibly lovely! (If you liked the floral arrangements you could always add ......... So again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I send you many, many hugs for everything you did for us. I hope we meet again someday.

All the best-
Patty Mitchell

Hi Erin,

I can' t thank you enough for all of your help and the beautiful setup that we had for our 9/29 ceremony/reception. I can 't tell you how many people gave us compliments on the site and the beauty of the area, which ultimately comes to you. You were so helpful and made me completely at ease - you were wonderful to work with and do a fabulous job! There are no words to express how grateful I am to you for making our day completely exceed our expectations!

Thanks so much!

Loretta,

Thank you so much for your “part” in our celebration last week for Robbie and Julie!

Everything was fantastic! The night could not have been better! Your staff did a great job. We loved both the food and your wines! As the sun set, the garden area with the lighting became more and more special as everyone from the families got to know each other better. It really was a great evening! Thank you again!

Rob and Chris Frans

We would like to express how thankful we are for how wonderful our wedding turned out. It was amazing from the setting to the food--we could not have asked for more. You helped create an intimate atmosphere for me and our guests which I will always remember.

We are especially thankful for Eva--she was more help than we could have asked for--everything went perfectly. We are also thankful and proud to have been married at your winery. We will always hold Falkner Winery dear in our hearts.

Thank you again for everything.

Sincerely,

"I just wanted to thank you for a Beautiful and memorable Wedding. I can't thank you enough for letting us use you Beautiful new Restaurant to have our wedding ceremony. Everything went beautifully I can't say I had any complaints.

I was a little nervous about having my wedding so soon after your opening but everything went great. I appreciate your kind and professional way of handling our ceremony and reception. I look forward to visiting you again soon and try out your new restaurant. Oh and the food was absolutely wonderful everyone talked about how good it was and the view was spectacular."

"I wanted to thank you and your staff for making my 10 year anniversary on June 29, 2006, very special. You and your Team planned it out perfectly. My wife was very surprised to see a beautiful table set in the vineyards, with our own server, chef, and violin musician.

The night exceeded my expectations two fold. Best of luck to you and your wonderful team and we will be seeing you very soon."

Sincerely,
Mike Bohnert

"We just wanted to express our gratitude for the service we received prior to and at our wedding ceremony and reception. We were so impressed by your attention to detail and the quick response to any questions and requests that we had. You both were wonderful and I am so glad that I had such a great wedding planning experience.

We received so many compliments on the location, the wine, food and how everything just flowed so perfectly. I wish I had another event to plan at your winery just because its so beautiful and everyone enjoyed it so much.

Again we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our day was more than we ever imagined it would be. We will always remember how incredibly helpful and courteous you both were."

Thank you!

"Life is great! I honestly don't think our wedding could have been any better. The wedding was beautiful and our friends and family had a WONDERFUL time at the eception. By the time we returned from our honeymoon, we had message after message on our answering machine from family and friends saying it was the best wedding they've been to in years and they can't wait for us to throw the next party :)

Not sure that I'll be doing anything that extravagant any time soon...but who knows...you may be hearing from me in 10 years for an anniversary party!"

"I just want to tell you both thank you so very much for helping Mary and I have the perfect wedding celebration. We just go back from Maui, and I very much wanted to tell you both that everyone here has told us how spectacular the wedding was. The Wedding Planner did a great job and just made our day perfect. The time went by so fast for us that much of it is a blur."

"I just wanted to thank both Falkner Winery and the Wedding Manager for such a wonderful wedding day on June 18th. The service was exceptional and the Wedding Manager did a wonderful job organizing everything.

I have to say Falkner Winery topped all of the weddings I have ever been to, and besides that I was the bride! Thank you again for such a memorable day and we look forward to spending many more weekends at your winery for celebrations."

"Thank you so much!!!! The wedding was absolutely beautiful. I was amazed by everything. I can't wait to see the pictures. We will definitely get you some. I believe the photographer will be providing some to you too. "

Hi Loretta,

Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful experience at your winery for our wedding. It went off without a hitch, thanks to the staff. They did a fabulous job taking care of our wedding needs, and was easy to talk to. They made sure everything was taken care of. Your staff always seemed to be there when they were needed and were never in the way. Our wedding was truly perfect and better then I had dreamed it to be.

Thanks again,
Debra and Robert

"Thank you so much for all your help, advice, etc. Our wedding was everything we envisioned, and your Wedding Manager and the rest of your staff were wonderful. The Wedding Manager was truly an angel!

Everyone was commenting on how beautiful Falkner is and how friendly the staff is. They said that it is truly magical. I really appreciate everything that you did for us. Customer service makes a difference, especially when planning a wedding and under stress. You and your staff went the distance."

"Here is the response we have been giving people who have asked how the wedding went: Perfect! You and your staff did a wonderful job of putting on a beautiful wedding for Meghann and Daniel. We cannot think of a thing that went wrong. Everything went off without a hitch, your staff was terrific, and we want to especially praise your Wedding Manager for everything she did. She was wonderful!

When we gave you a non-refundable $1000 deposit based on only seeing pictures on the internet, we knew we were taking a chance, and of course, we were a little apprehensive. But all our fears were laid to rest this past weekend and we and our guests had a wonderful time. Meghann and Daniel were so pleased with the setting and have such fabulous memories of their special day."
