Thank you so much for all that you did to make my granddaughter’s wedding such a fantastic event. Your grounds and home are so beautiful, and you and your staff are absolutely the best. Our day was so easy to enjoy. Again – thank you so much.

Roberta C., bride’s grandmother

We wanted to thank you for all of your hard work making our wedding day perfect. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the Estate was and how great the food was too. It truly was an amazing and unforgettable evening – thanks for everything!

Michelle & Matthew R., bride & groom

Words cannot express how grateful Michael and I are for what you did for us on our wedding night. All your hard work is really appreciated. People keep telling me that there isn’t a more perfect place to have a wedding... and they are right! Everything went so smoothly, and everyone had a blast!

We are so thankful to have met you all. Our wedding night was perfect, in large part because of you all! You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Your warm hearts and hard work will never be forgotten. Thank you again for making our dreams of a perfect wedding come true!

Kelly & Michael F., bride & groom

Saying "Thank You!" cannot adequately express how we feel about the whole wedding day experience at your lovely Estate. When Kelly and Michael called us to say they'd found the "perfect" place for their wedding, we were so happy for them – but even happier when we could see it ourselves and experience the wedding day with them!

You and your staff were so accommodating and we could not have asked for a more perfect day. The Harding Allen Estate is beautiful, and everyone was so relaxed and comfortable as we moved around the Estate rooms and gardens.

From the moment Michael and Kelly met you, and all the way through to the last dance, you and your staff made everyone feel right at home. Your sincere care and attention was noticed and appreciated by everyone. We appreciate you taking such a genuine interest in Michael and Kelly and working with them so closely to make sure their wedding day was an unforgettable experience!

Van & Carol F., parents of the groom

I want to thank everyone for making Kristen and Mike's wedding day such a special, beautiful day! We knew from the first time that we met with you that it was a "family" atmosphere. We weren't even down at the end of the street yet and I had already made up my mind that I didn't even want to shop around. I knew The Harding Allen was the place where Kristen and Mike were going to be married and everything would be as they dreamed it would be.

Our guests were very impressed with how beautiful the grounds are and how absolutely gorgeous the mansion is. You all did such a wonderful job setting up inside and outside and making it look amazing. The food was great, and the service was out of this world.

It brings me to tears every time I look back on how beautiful the day turned out to be. Kristen and Mike truly deserved that beautiful day. I'm so glad that we were able to share it with you.

Judi O., mother of the bride

Please allow us to thank you for the top notch, first-class service you provided. We have received so many compliments on our wedding and of course the grounds, which were immaculate. All of you have individually and simultaneously made our special day what it was: perfect.

I could never thank you enough for everything you did for us and all of the things you took care of for us. You must have this type of business down to an exact science. I watched the food come out to the tables and everything looked like it was a well rehearsed dance. Please tell Chef there were so many compliments on his food. Your wait staff was awesome too. It seemed everyone was very happy.

You went out of your way to make sure that our day was perfect at the Harding Allen. No place else could have provided the amenities and details that you did. You were simply the best. I will never in my life forget the generosity you gave us. You provided us the most perfect, beautiful, where all of my wedding dreams came true, setting ever. People are still talking about our wedding at The Harding Allen Estate. Please know that you are part of our wedding memories. You helped create our most perfect day.

With all our love and best wishes,

April & Ken G., bride & groom

We don’t know what to thank you for first: the personal touches; the fabulous food; recommending an awesome DJ; a dessert table to die for; the amazing wedding co-ordinator – and we mean amazing; the elegant atmosphere; the smiling service; the gorgeous grounds, and your kindness and helpfulness.

Stephen and Shawna’s day could not have been more perfect. Thank you for helping us to give our daughter the wedding day she has always dreamed of.

Carol & Glenn D., parents of the bride

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day truly perfect. The whole process was a pleasure, but you really showed how much you care about making people happy when you made our outdoor wedding happen despite the weather! Everything was more than we could have ever hoped for. So thank you again so much from the bottom of our hearts!

Katy & Justin K., bride & groom

I wanted to take a minute to say "Thank YOU!" for such a wonderful, beautiful birthday party for our mother. She told me she could never have imagined such an amazing birthday... What a compliment!

The Estate looked beautiful – the food so delicious – the staff extremely friendly and the two of you – making us feel like family.... Everyone so enjoyed themselves, the grounds, the food, I can't stop telling you how great it was!

So from the bottom of my heart – I thank you from all of us.

Roberta P.

We can’t thank you enough for all your efforts that combined to help make our wedding day so spectacular! It was a pleasure working with all of you. All of our guests had a great time and we will cherish our memories and photographs of your gorgeous Estate forever!

Everyone on the staff was so easy to work with and helped us stay relaxed through the whole process. You guys do a phenomenal job, and I wish you much success, joy and happiness in all your future endeavors.

Thank you!

Lisa G., bride

Thank you so much for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Your services were impeccable, but it was your flexibility and willingness to make our requests happen that really made it wonderful. You all are so helpful, warm and gracious. It was a joy to work with you. Thank you so much for everything!

Josie & Rich L., bride & groom

Thank you so much for making our wedding such a joyous event! Everything went so smoothly and without a hitch. The entire staff was a pleasure to work with!

We wanted to thank you for making our wedding day the day of our dreams! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. From the moment we pulled up to the Estate, we knew this was where our wedding would be. You were so welcoming and helpful right from the start and made our day go so smoothly and effortlessly! Again, we loved everything you did and you were an absolute pleasure to work with to make our wedding day so perfect and memorable – even as the last wedding of the season, it seemed like the first!

With love & thanks,

Amy & Alex R., bride & groom

Thank you so much for letting us have our wedding at your Estate. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the place was and how much they loved the food. As you mentioned before people are blown away by just the appetizers alone and our guests said the same thing! We would like to extend a special thank you to your wedding co-ordinator, she did an amazing job! Throughout the whole planning process she was there every step of the way, including the big day!

Thanks again to everyone at Harding Allen! We had a beautiful wedding and everything went as planned!

Liz & Kevin G., bride & groom

We just wanted to thank you for helping to make our big day perfect! The Estate looked more beautiful than we had ever seen it before, and so many of our guests commented on our choice of venue. We didn't have to worry about a single thing once the day arrived, and for that we are thankful! You did an amazing job in keeping the day running smoothly. All in all, our day was amazing - we just wish it hadn't gone by so fast! Thank you again for everything!

Melissa & Josh O., bride & groom

I am writing to compliment you and your staff on the conclusion of an excellent event. The staff was exceptional, accommodating and caring, from the wedding ceremony through the food service. The food was very good, and your ability to serve so many different dishes at once was outstanding. The facilities are beautiful. I will without hesitation refer your your facility to anybody who asks.

Thomas Z., father of bride

We want to express our appreciation for the wonderful experience we had at The Harding Allen Estate. From the moment of our arrival to the morning of our departure, we were made to feel like royalty! The wedding was spectacular. Everything was top shelf, yet very relaxed. It can’t be easy to achieve that medium. But you did!

Everyone had a spectacular time! Thank you all so much.

Judy V., mother of bride

From the bottom of my heart, I truly thank you for my wonderful wedding day! Everything was perfect, from the delicious food and excellent service to every single one of you who worked hard. All your efforts paid off! My family still talks about it! I am so proud of all of you. It is a wonderful memory that I can cherish forever.

Much love –

Debbie & Mark D., bride & groom

Thank you for providing a beautiful space for our wedding and for taking care of us and our guests so well.

The Harding Allen Estate is truly a magical place and a perfect venue for weddings.

Thanks for everything!

Sincerely,

Eva & Glenn B., bride & groom

Dear Harding Allen Estate Friends;

We are so grateful to you for creating our "fairy tale wedding"! The wedding was so special, memorable, and emotional for us both. We could not have asked for more beautiful grounds or a more friendly, professional, and timely staff to celebrate our union as husband and wife than at The Harding Allen Estate. Thank you for the happiest day and all the sweet memories!

With love,

Stacy & Casey W., bride & groom

Thank you for a wonderful job at our reception.

Sincerely,

Eben & Angie G., bride & groom

Please tell everyone from The Harding Allen Estate, we had a great time because of them. Thank you very much. Everyone that we have talked to today had a blast. The service was great, the food was fantastic. Our day was absolutely perfect.

Stacy & John Z., bride & groom

I just wanted to thank you for making Courtney and Dan's wedding such a day to remember. I can't tell you how many people commented on how perfect the day was -- from the weather (which I'm sure you ordered just for us!) to the grounds to the atmosphere -- it was truly one of the best days of my life and I'm certain THE best day of Courtney's!

I also spoke with Linda this morning and she told me for the hundredth time how perfect the whole day went and how great Courtney and I did planning it all. But, we couldn't have pulled it off without all you experts and want to thank you for how hard you work. It was truly a day none of us will ever forget!! Thanks again and hope you'll be there for years to come (maybe a granddaughter's wedding 20+ years from now!!).

Take care,

Gail R., mother of bride

Just a note to thank you for all your help with Emily’s wedding.

Between your hard work and your patience with the weather, Emily was able to enjoy her outdoors wedding dream.

Thanks again,

Jackie G., mother of bride

The Class of 2007 would like to extend our gratitude for the beautiful prom you provided for us. The night was truly magical as the lights, flowers, and decorations made a romantic atmosphere. The students enjoyed their choices of dinners, and the ice cream dessert was delectable and refreshing. Thank you so much for your cooperation and effort in making our prom unforgettable. Fun was had by both the students and chaperones as everyone partook of a night filled with dancing, laughing, and visiting. We appreciate all the time and work you put into this night, and we know that everyone who attended this year’s prom will always treasure the memories associated with The Harding Allen Estate.

Sincerely and graciously,

The class of 2007

My husband and I visited you all for dinner to celebrate our 58^th wedding anniversary and had the most exciting, elegant surprise of our lives. If someone had spent months of planning for this event, it could not have been any better. You all gave us the most memorable anniversary celebration, put together within an hour of our phone call reservation, totally unexpected by us – the hostess was the most charming and warmly welcoming, the kitchen staff could not have a better cooking job, everyone passing through our own special dining room was so friendly and shared bits of conversation with us.

And then the Grand Finale of our evening’s experience was our visit to the Pavilion, set up for the High School affair, the disc jockey so graciously played our song so we could dance & the jockey and hostess joined us on the dance floor. We felt like Cinderella & the Prince at the Ball. To say "thank you" is too inadequate for the breathless appreciation we felt to all of you who made our experience so memorable. We shall never forget the Fairytale joy we felt – because of your kind generosity. You all are to be highly commended for your expertise in pulling together, at short notice, such a beautiful even. May our Lord richly Bless you all!

Lovingly,

Bud & Alice H.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all of your staff for making my parents’ 25^th wedding anniversary so special. It was just what my mother had wanted.

The atmosphere was perfect, the food delicious and the service was terrific.

Thank you again for a special night.

Sincerely,

Kate A. & family

Hey Guys;

We never got a chance to thank you & your staff for the incredible job you did during the rainiest day since Noah’s Ark!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and due to your accommodations, the rain became a non-issue to us. Everyone said that the food was delicious, the staff was gracious and the mansion was awesome! They will always remember that beautiful day, as will we! Thanks again & have a Happy New Year!

Lucky & Rose B., parents of bride

Thank you for all of your time & energy. You have been fantastic throughout this busy time of our lives – you’ve made planning a wedding very enjoyable. Thanks for everything.

Sincerely,

Lesley & Tim M., bride & groom

Just a quick note to say thank you for all your help and hard work at our wedding on October 23^rd. It was perfect. Your guidance was so helpful. We had so many compliments on the Estate. It is beautiful. Our pictures were wonderful, thanks to your beautiful estate. We hope to come over soon for the holiday dinners. David would love to have more dates wrapped in bacon!

Thank you again for everything.

David & Patty F., bride & groom

My wife and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful job you and your staff did when our son and new daughter-in-law had their wedding at your facility.

We would also like to commend one of your waitresses whom we had the pleasure of being served by at both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception. This waitress, whose name I did not get, was excellent. She could not do enough for us and our guests and we were very grateful for her courtesy, attentiveness, efficiency and her outgoing personality. She was a pleasure.

We would also like to commend you for your attentiveness and for being very cooperative on every matter we brought to your attention on the day of the wedding. You both made our day a lot less stressful.

Thank you again for making our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding a very nice and fun occasion.

Richie & Karen A., parents of groom

We wanted to let you know that our guests are still raving about our wedding at The Harding Allen Estate. You and your staff were wonderful to work with. Thank you for making our day so special!

Thanks,

Jess & Adam O., bride & groom

Mike and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful reception we had at the Estate! It was just wonderfully beautiful! We were so very pleased with how everything looked and the hospitality of the staff! You went above and beyond to make our special day even more so!

Love,

Stacey D. & Mike A., bride & groom

It has been several months since our wedding at The Harding Allen Estate, and I still get chills when I think of how wonderful our day was. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable and for your kindness to our families. The Estate looks beautiful, and our pictures show what an elegant space it is. You have done a remarkable job!

With thanks,

Adrienne V. & Jeff S., bride & groom

I just couldn’t wait to let you know how very beautiful The Harding Allen Estate is and how much fun we had at the wedding. I am the bride’s mother and I speak for her father also when I say that we were treated like "family" the whole time we were there.

The kids were happy, their friends and relatives were happy and mostly both sets of parents were ecstatically happy. Your rooms were beautiful (we had the Garden Room). We turned off the A/C and opened the windows so we could hear the fountain and night sounds.

We live on Long Island so we made a 5-hour trip to get this marriage going. The DJ and Photographer were excellent and again made us feel as comfortable as family. That was so important to us because Long Island weddings are very impersonal and you feel like you’re in a cattle mill. Get in, do your thing and then get out. We never felt rushed and had everything we could have needed at our disposal once we retired to our rooms.

Thank you again for making our third and final daughter’s wedding a wonderful remembrance.

With great fondness,

Joan F.
