"Dear Gilda, the first time we sat down with you at Fearrington to plan Fiona's
weddings, I knew that we were in the very best of hands. Your
competence, lovely demeanor and great sense of style all worked
together to create an ideal partnership. As the mother of the bride,
the greatest gift you gave me was my daughter's peace of mind. She
has high standards and knows what she likes and your ability to
instill total confidence from the beginning was no small task!
Bravo. I so appreciate everything you did for us, and thoroughly
enjoyed working together on this very meaningful project."

"Dear Gilda, words cannot express our gratitude for every aspect of our
Fearrington wedding. My wife and I, and all our guests, were
thrilled with the ceremony, flowers, service, accommodations, and
especially the dinner. There is nothing that could have been
improved. Thank you once again for making everything so easy and
enjoyable. Lois and I already have plans to periodically return and
relive the dream you created for us."

"Dear Gilda and Mary, thank you for the time and attention you gave to the wedding. It was
absolutely perfect...right down to the detail. The wait staff was
cordial and responsive. The food was outstanding! I received many
comments on the taste and preparation.
Gilda, thank you for being a great project manager and ensuring that
everything was well-orchestrated and on time. Your suggestions for
the evening and the flow of events were excellent. Mary, the flowers
were beautiful. You chose and arranged the flowers exactly to our
vision. A true artist. The colors were incredible. I also thank
everyone, behind the scenes, at the Fearrington, who contributed to
our special event. I know it takes a team."

"Dear Cheryl, thank you for all of your hard work and help through out this entire
wedding planning process. We had such a wonderful day thanks to you
and the staff at Fearrington. Everything was beautiful and flowed so
smoothly. You are such a pleasure to work with and we had many
compliments on your demeanor and professionalism. We felt like
royalty for a day, the details and thoughtfulness of everyone at
Fearrington was just wonderful. Thank you again."

"We were thrilled with every detail of the wedding last
week. You did a fantastic job of getting the ceremony under cover on
short notice. The Garden Terrace is quite a lovely structure for a
wedding! We felt lucky that the tent was available for cocktails.
The barn really surprised me with its nighttime charm. Mary's
gorgeous floral arrangements, the coral linens, Jill's fanciful cake
and the twinkling lights created a magical ambiance which was also
the perfect size for our group. The food was delicious, of course!
If I had another daughter to marry, I would certainly choose
Fearrington House again! Thank you and Cheryl Anne and all your
staff for performing so professionally throughout the evening. It
was a delight from start to finish."

"Dear Cheryl, thank you so much for your patience and good counsel over the past
year. Everyone was very impressed with Fearrington. We couldn't have
been more pleased with how flawlessly the ceremony and reception
evolved. Your recommendations were excellent. What a memorable day!"

"The dust is beginning to settle after the "big day”
and it’s strange to be talking about the wedding in the past tense.
But, we will be talking about it for years to come. It is impossible
for us to ever thank you, and every staff member involved, enough. I
tell people that in all of the months of planning, no one ever said
the word “no” to us. You all worked so hard to make our dream a
reality. It was like a fairytale with the bride and groom as the
main characters."
- Mother of Fearrington Bride, May 2010

"Dear Gilda, thank you so much for your role in making our
wedding day as wonderful as it was. Throughout the planning process,
you made everything so straightforward and easy and by the time my
wedding day rolled around, my mom and I were completely calm and
confident that everything would fall into place. Everyone at the
wedding had an incredible time and for us, it was just more perfect
than we could have dreamed. My mom and I have talked repeatedly
about how grateful we are for all the kind and wonderful people who
made the wedding possible and you are definitely at the top of that
list. Thank you."

"Hi Gilda, first off - thank you to you, Cheryl, Mary and Jill
and the rest of the Fearrington crew for coordinating such a
fantastic evening for us. We enjoyed every moment of it and we have
heard many, many complements on the food and on the Granary. It all
worked out so well! Thank you again for everything and we will
certainly see you around the Village as we stop by Fearrington in
the days and months to come."

"Cheryl, we want to personally thank you for all your
assistance! You went above and beyond in order to make our day a
success. If we were to do it all over again we'd chose Fearrington
in a heartbeat!"

"On behalf of everyone, I want to thank you for your assistance
in the lovely wedding celebration at Fearrington House. It is such
an exquisite setting! Although the weather didn't cooperate, with
your wonderful help finding the tend on such short notice, the
Garden Terrace was enchanting....I know that all our guests we
impressed with the room and the food! Cheryl, thank you again for
all your help."
- Mother of a Fearrington Bride, October 2009

"First of all, let me tell you what a wonderful time we had at the
wedding! It all came together and everyone had a fabulous time. We
decided that having the ceremony at the Garden Terrace was a
blessing in disguise. The surroundings were so pleasant and
comfortable and by being "contained", it allowed us to focus on the
prayers, vows, and scripture - and of course the joy of the bride
and groom! The barn looked so beautiful! The layout worked very well
and the food was absolutely delicious. The wines were delightful as
was the beautiful pink champagne which was served perfectly on time.
I also was amazed at the man(/woman!) power for our event. All the
staff were working and helping and buzzing around; what efficient
division of labor! Everyone was so kind and happy to tune into
whatever I asked. And to you, Gilda...thank you for your
professionalism, your advice, and your communication with me. Also
your kindness and calmness was most helpful!
Once again, thank you to everyone for one of the best times my
family has ever had. That day was very important and obviously
everyone at Fearrington "gets" it. We are grateful."

"I didn't think it could get much better than this weekend, but
hearing feedback from our family and friends has really been fun,
too! Without exception, everyone LOVED being at Fearrington and they
describe the wedding with words like "perfection", "incredibly
wonderful to the last detail", "best I've ever been to" and other
such superlatives. You accommodated our every need with such
graciousness, you provided guidance that was absolutely on target
with respect to food and beverages - everyone thought the house
wines were great and the dinner was superb. You direct the "action"
with a gentle assertiveness that is effective and reassuring and
anticipate needs way ahead of our awareness! Take care and thank you
again."

"I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding celebration at
Fearrington so perfect. It all unfolded just as we had envisioned
and hoped it would. Every aspect of Fearrington’s fabulous
hospitality resonated throughout the evening. The grounds and
ceremony site were beautiful. The food the chef prepared was
perfect. The dessert table was decadent and the candy bar adorable.
The room with Mary's flowers and candelabras was twinkling and
frankly Gilda so was I! Your wait staff was courteous, efficient and
friendly. Every detail we asked for was executed to perfection.”

"We can't thank you enough for making our wedding day
absolutely perfect. Your guidance, support, leadership, and
thoroughness made our wedding day one of the most special days of
our lives. Our friends and family continue to talk of the wonderful
details of the venue, ceremony, and reception. We know it never
would have been so beautiful had it not been for you."

everything you did to make our wedding perfect - and we mean that
from the bottom of our hearts. From our initial meeting, I knew we
would be in the best hands – I appreciate your style of conducting
wedding planning so much – simple, matter-of-fact, with authority
for confidence, but gracious and sincere as well. Our friends from
CA to MA to Dubai were blown away. Thank you for your perfection
with grace!"

"We want to thank you and your entire team at Fearrington for an
extraordinary special wedding day. The event from the beginning to
the end could not have been more perfect for the wedding couple, the
parents, and the guests. It was a pleasure working with you during
the planning stage where you presented all of the many details in
just the right way. Your continual communication over the past
months gave us the confidence that everything would be provided for
– and it was. Your sense of what is appropriate, tasteful, and fun
matched ours to a T. Your management of the wedding day was superb –
assisting the wedding party with their preparation, escorting the
guests to the ceremony, having everyone in the right place at the
right time, and making mid-course adjustments. We have heard from
many family and friends who describe the day as the “best wedding
they have ever attended.” Thank you sincerely. We look forward to a
return visit to Fearrington."

wedding reception last Friday.
Every aspect of the reception was truly beyond our dreams of the
perfect night; from the lovely new Garden Terrace and beautiful
gardens surrounding to the superb food and service and gracious
service staff, nothing was left undone."

"Gilda, I had to send you an email to thank you for all your
hard work toward the wedding. Not only did you have all
the answers, you handled each and every one quickly, courteously,
and efficiently. I am somewhat biased, but I thought it was the most
beautiful wedding I've ever attended. I can not imagine how it could
have gone more seamlessly, and you get all the credit for that.
Garry and I will most definitely refer our friends whose children
are planning weddings to consider the Fearrington."

"Dear Gilda, you could not have created a more perfect wedding. Every thought that we had was carried out to
perfection - and the many ideas that we did not think of, you did.
In addition to making it all so very perfect, you did everything
with such a calm and collected manner. Thank you for the patience
you had with me! I appreciate your wonderful gifts that you bring to
Fearrington."

"Dear Gilda, you could not have produced a more beautiful
affair. Your head should be swelling with pride and satisfaction
from all the positive comments we have received. Fearrington is the
most incredible place for a wedding - I truly never worried about
one thing. We had a ball and we are still on air over the entire
event. Thank you, thank you for your professionalism, your warm
interactions with all of us, and your wonderful sense of humor with
me! I have never felt more calm or taken care of by someone! It was
truly a beautiful event."

"I loved working with Gilda, and her calm confidence was an
important part of our happy experience. She was always there to make
it happen and to make it fun and easy for us. She exhibited grace
under pressure, and she always made me feel that all would be
beautiful and it was! Everything about the experience at
Fearrington was beyond compare. The food was delicious....everyone
on the staff worked hard to make our stay wonderful. Why would
anyone ever want to leave! Thank you for everything!"

moment we met with you last Thanksgiving until the end of the
evening, we felt wonderful about the event - and knew that we were
in the right hands! You're simply the best. Fearrington is truly a
magical place. The grounds, food & flowers were all magnificent...
PLEASE pass along my admiration and gratitude to the many, many
staff on the front lines and behind the scenes who made it happen so
beautifully."
