Over the years we've received many thank-you notes from our brides & grooms.   A few years back we started to keep them in one of our albums for visiting brides-to-be to view. 

The notes are complete and unedited including underlines, italics, and exclamation points although last names have been dropped to afford some privacy.  Unfortunately, not all have dates listed but we have included them where possible.  All the notes we have received since August of 2002 (when we started to collect them) are included.
Randall, Lynn & Jennifer

Jennifer & Lynn
Thank you so much for helping make K & T's wedding such a success.  I really appreciated the way you both were right on the spot to handle unexpected situations: bus driver, unexpected guest, my brother's special meal, and (oh yeah!) there was that "mother of the bride" fall and crash.  I've been checking with our guests all week and have heard nothing but high praises for the delicious food, excellent service, and wonderful atmosphere at the castle.  Even though we live out-of-town I really hope we'll have an opportunity to use the castle again.   Please accept this gift in appreciation of your great service.
Thanks Again, Elise + Gavin

Jennifer,
Thank you for a fabulous luncheon. You were very well organized, efficient and your attention to detail was superb.  The afternoon was delightful and everyone had a wonderful time.  Your staff were attentive and provided excellent service.  Please pass on our praise.  We'll see you again-  Jan and Mike

Dear Lynn and Randall,
Mike and I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding.  I can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciate your help in making our day so special.  you and your staff did such an amazing job with everything.  I am still getting compliments from our guests.  The food was fantastic and your staff did a great job getting everyone served.  I'm also told that the waiters were more than happy to get seconds (and thirds, and fourths) without any hesitation.  Everyone told us that they had the most fun there and that it was one of the best wedding receptions that they had ever been to.  Mike and I have been and will continue to suggest your establishment to anyone looking for a place to hold and event.  Our reception has left us with so many wonderful memories, and we are looking forward to celebrating many anniversaries there.  We will always appreciate your hard work, and help in making our dream wedding come true.  Again, thank you so much for all you've done.  Sincerely, Alicia and Mike B.

Randall Brown and Beardslee Staff:
We want to thank you for the excellent service, beautifully arranged setup, and high quality food at the wedding of our son last Saturday September 18.  Beardslee Castle is a very lovely setting for a wedding reception.  Even though our group was small, it seemed to fill the areas very comfortably due to the way the tables and food areas were arranged.  All your staff were very helpful and accommodating from the setup for the cake and additional gift table to breaking down and cleaning up after the reception was over.  We would heartily recommend Beardslee Castle to anyone looking for a reception site in the Little Falls area.
Sincerely Bill & Norine

Thank you just can't express how grateful we are for all you did to make our daughter's reception a "night to remember".  Everything from the cake to the food was just perfect and all we've heard are glowing compliments about your courteous staff and friendly atmosphere.  people were very impressed with the quantity of food they were offered. and it was delicious!   We will certainly come to you when we have another function.  Again, thank you and your staff for making our day worry free and so special.  Joe & Sandy

Randy,
Just wanted to thank you once again for the outstanding wedding reception !! Our friends and family are still raving about how good the food & service was!  I really do appreciate it!

Dear Jennifer and staff,
A note of thanks to all who worked so hard at the wedding of our daughter Jennifer and son-in-law, Bill's reception.  Al of our guests "raved" over the Castle, the food, the grounds, and atmosphere of such a unique place.  The cocktail hour was great and the food choices were excellent.  We had such a wonderful time. Thank you, Jennifer, for all your help in coordinating a memorable event for our families.  The band had a ball!  The wait staff... very cordial and so accommodating to all our guests.  Our compliments to the chef and kitchen staff as well, including the bar staff.  And the cake-absolutely delicious!!  Even the photographer remarked... "the Castle is awesome".  Thank you and we look forward to dining at the Castle in the near future

Hello Jennifer
I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the fabulous brunch reception that my parents, as well as everyone else, enjoyed at the Castle on June 25th.  I cannot tell you how many guests approached us at the party to express how much they enjoyed themselves, how nice everything was & how great the food was.  You may have to schedule some additional parties, as guests were overheard "planning" to have their next special occasion hosted by your facility.  This was such a big occasion for our family-especially our parents.  I can't tell you how perfect it was!  My eternal gratitude to you & your staff! Sue

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you again for your wonderful service!  You really hold up well under pressure and I'm sure I gave you plenty.  It is difficult being a wedding planner/mother/future mother-in-law!  So~ Thanks again for assisting me with my requests.   Jessica & Jay were so thankful for you and the Beardslee staffs attentiveness.  I also appreciate your chipping in to assist with the flower set-up.  We all enjoyed a "glorious" day at the Castle!
Sincerely Janice & Rich

Dear Owners & Staff of Beardslee Castle
We want to thank you all so much for greatly contributing to the glorious wedding celebration held at the Castle this past Sunday!  The wait-staff was attentive, the atmosphere friendly and warm, the food superb; the chef & cooks-what a job they did!  Lynn & Jennifer did a fantastic job putting it all together; the decorations, flowers and set-up were arranged perfectly!  I'd like to apologize to Lynn for providing her with an unalphabetized seating chart, which I discovered I gave her while watching her calmly direct guests to their table!  And hats off to Jennifer who handled all of my phone calls, emails and requests with ease and much grace.  I planned with Jennifer for so many months and she met all of my "demands" graciously!
To sum it up~ the Beardslee Castle was the perfect place for us to celebrate our joyous occasion! Thank you all so very much!
Very Sincerely, Janice & Rich

Dear Randall Lynn Jennifer & staff
We recently visited on  Saturday night for dinner (august 12th).  We were celebrating our second anniversary and reminiscing about the wonderful wedding reception we had at Beardslee.  We were quite impressed that with a wedding reception occurring upstairs and a busy dinner crowd downstairs how absolutely wonderful our dinner was, from appetizer to dessert!  Well worth the trip from Long Island!  We look forward to many more dinners at Beardslee
Best regards,
Lauri & Steve L.
