Hi Rebecca
Shweta and I wanted to thank you for the great help in preparing our wedding.
Also, your colleague on Sunday was extremely professional and went out of his way to help us out.
When we realized we were missing the car keys, and needed to wait for somebody to pick us up, he waited with us until 10pm. That was really nice of him. Please thank him on our part too, I don't have his contact.
Everybody loved the mansion and the park, and all our guests had a great time.
In summary, we loved it.
thanks and have great day

Rebecca,
We just wanted to thank you for a great evening at Woodend on Saturday night. Despite the rain, we had a wonderful ceremony in the Great Hall, surrounded and huddled by our close friends and relatives. People were commenting all night about the beauty of the location and the sporadic sights of deer grazing on the grass onsite.

Thanks for your help,

Rebecca:
On June 3, 2012, we enjoyed the most wonderful occasion of our lives, the marriage of our daughter, Jamie Lichtenstein, to Adam Stackman.
It couldn't have been more perfect and, obviously, Woodend played a major role in everything.
We couldn't have been more pleased with how things turned out.
Thanks,
Irene G. Lichtenstein
Rebecca,
Thank you so much for your support and helping us to have an incredible wedding this past spring. It will be cherished forever. You guys have an amazing location and the support was significant while never being intrusive. David and Caroline Vargas. Thanks again!

Rebecca:
We wanted to thank you for all of your help. We also want to mention that Kathy was great and so helpful too.
Our guests marveled at the beauty of the Mansion and the outdoors made our wedding ceremony very unique and memorable. We made several important decisions in planning our wedding, but surely our decision as to where to host our wedding and reception was one of the most important. We can not image a better place to host a wedding!!!
Please feel free to share our thoughts with any couple planning their wedding.
Warm regards.

Hi Rebecca,
We wanted to thank you for the wonderful success of Ilana's Bat Mitzvah. In spite of (Hurricane) Irene, we managed to pull off a miraculous celebration. Ilana had the time of her life and we had wonderfully positive feedback from many friends and relatives. Thanks again for all your help and attention to detail. I hope the evening wedding was equally successful. (It was!)
Best,
Martin

Rebecca, I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you so much for everything at Woodend on Sat. The wedding was absolutely perfect, and we loved having it there! You were so comfortable to work with, and we appreciate how responsive you were with any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful summer!

Rebecca,
Woodend looked so beautiful, especially with all of the bright green grass and trees! It was a stunning venue for a wedding. Everyone was amazed at the place.
Thanks for everything-

To ANS,
I want you to know how much we appreciated the beauty and graciousness of your setting [for our daughter's recent wedding].
We had a wonderful occasion and were entirely thrilled to host our party at Woodend. It seemed especially appropriate since Pam (my daughter) worked in the nature program there the summer of 2001 and has since become a biologist who is committed to conservation. I especially want to thank Rebecca Robinson for all she did to facilitate the Woodend decision; her assistance at every necessary step of the way was excellent, and the low-key manner in which she worked with me was quite pleasant. I will always have delightful memories of the entire experience, which was a very significant one for me.

Dear Rebecca,
I can't thank you enough for helping to make the Celebration of Life for my husband so wonderful. The setting, the service providers, the glorious weather, all helped us to find joy under difficult circumstances.

Hello Rebecca
We so enjoyed our wedding reception. The Mansion was just beautiful and the perfect setting for our reception. We were so lucky with the weather and also got some beautiful pictures taken on the grounds of the Sanctuary. It was absolutely perfect!
I also wanted you to know that we highly recommend our caterer (Paris Caterers). They did a phenomenal job. Also, just in case, you would like to add to your list of providers - both our photographer (Karen Stump) and videographer (Always & Forever Video) were exceptional. We got so many comments from our guests on how polite and unobtrusive they were. And the pictures and video came out fantastic.
Thank you again for all your help.
All the best,
Birgit and Edson

Dear Rebecca Robinson and Woodend Staff,
Thank you for all your help at my wedding last Sunday, June 6th. The location is so beautiful and you all do such great work keeping this organization going! Thank you so much for allowing me to have my wedding in your beautiful space.
Best wishes,
Lynn Scow
Dear Rebecca,
The wedding was really wonderful. I just loved it all. The weather was great, the redbuds and the grove were resplendent, and the house was warm and inviting. Best of all, Occasions Caterers outdid themselves. The food and service were excellent. I never would have found them if they hadn't been short-listed for Woodend.
Thanks for all your help,
Annie

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you again for all your efforts in providing the most perfect venue for our wedding. It was more than we could have imagined. All our guests loved the space, and we had a 70 degree day and a ceremony outside! Kathy S. was also a great help and very nice to work with.
Again, it was a pleasure to work with you and have our wedding at Woodend.
All the best,
Kristen & Matt

Our experience at Woodend was wonderful! From Rebecca's initial responsiveness and flexibility, to Festive Foods' careful planning of our beautiful day, we couldn't have asked for anything better.
The venue was perfect for the several small children we had at our celebration, because they played in the field and woods behind the main house with their babysitters and had a blast!
The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. The venue was plenty spacious enough for our 130 guests, and it still felt cozy, almost like a large, gracious family home. The staircase was grand without being overdone, and we loved being announced one by one and coming down onto the dance floor.
We have been to many wedding locations and loved ours the best...by far! We would highly recommend Woodend!

Dear Rebecca,
Thank you, so much, for everything you and your staff at Woodend did for us for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better setting to tie the knot - it was exactly what we wanted, and everyone is still commenting on what a great place Woodend is. We know you all work very hard to make it so, and we are mighty glad you do.
Thanks again for everything!

Hi Rebecca,
I just wanted to get in touch. My wife, Efrat and I were married at the Woodend Sanctuary in July 2007. The venue was perfect for us and was a crucial part of what made the day so unforgettable. We will always appreciate how helpful you were in making our special day come together.
All the best,
Eli Meir Kaplan
