Desmond Testimonials

We had our daughter’s wedding reception at the Desmond on February 20th of this year. I want to thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience. The staff delivered all that was promised and more. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how fabulous the reception was. The rooms, the food, the ballroom, everything was wonderful.

The day was all about my daughter and her dream. While we were having our Father /Daughter dance I asked her if her wedding was all she had dreamt it would be. She answered, “ No Dad, it was much, much more”. Thank you for the part you played in making my daughter’s dream a reality. — Wilson Wedding 2010

...On Saturday evening we had my daughter's wedding reception at your hotel and everything was absolutely extraordinary.

Everyone there agreed that the wait staff, bartenders, management staff etc. were attentive, the food was tremendous and the room looked great. A wedding reception is such a personal and emotionally-charged affair, and to have every detail go so smoothly and beautifully is a tribute to all. I can't thank everyone enough. — Greene Wedding 2010

Thank you and the entire staff at the Desmond for a fabulous weekend. We also received many compliments from guests about the staff, the hotel, and the food. We really enjoyed working with everyone. We encountered no one who was less than immediately responsive and accommodating. As you can now see from the scope of the event, it's very helpful to have that stress removed from our production so that we can concentrate on the show. Thank you for being so accommodating with the changes. — Saturday Club of Wayne 2010

Everything was absolutely perfect. We have had one compliment after the other from those that attended regarding the fantastic food....as well as the beautiful set up of the banquet room and atrium area. The raw bar was a very big hit. As a result of the great experience, my sister just booked her wedding at The Desmond.... — Bruno Wedding 2009

Our daughter was married at The Desmond. WOW doesn’t really express how wonderful the whole experience has been. Nothing was too small to be overlooked...all situations were handled perfectly. Everyone...we had guests from 21 states and two were from the UK, raved about the first class service they received all weekend. Your reputation speaks for itself and now we know why. — Schwed wedding 2009

Words cannot express my heartfelt appreciation to you and the Desmond for the wonderful wedding you produced for my daughter and her husband. Every detail from the initial planning, to the final execution was handled superbly. You were a pleasure to work with each time we met, and you captured every detail thoroughly. The entire staff at the Desmond is to be commended for their commitment to customer service.

From the moment we arrived on Thursday evening for the Rehearsal and Dinner, throughout the Wedding and Reception, and until we left from the Brunch on Saturday morning, every request was honored graciously. Karen, you were extremely helpful in guiding Mike and Jenn as they planned their wedding, incorporating all of their personal touches into the events and making excellent recommendations that added value to the wedding.

The vendors you recommended were equally professional and reliable (The Ballroom, set-up for the wedding ceremony, was dreamlike and then it transformed into an amazing Reception venue) The front desk also went above and beyond with several special requests from our guests, including special care for my ailing father who needing assistance checking in and parking. — Perrin Wedding 2010
