Dear Angel and the Staff at Hernder Estate J & I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a very memorable wedding day. From the moment we walked in to the winery and throughout the past year, we were greeted by smiling faces and truly exceptional people. Angel, you were a pleasure to work with and you ensured that every stressful experience was executed flawlessly. You were amazing. We had a wonderful wedding day, stress-free experience, amazing pictures to last a lifetime... and it was all thanks to Hernder! S & J Oct 2009 ***************************************** Good Morning Angel! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and the new year is shaping up well. This is long overdue but both Joel and I wanted to let you know and your staff know that you all made our wedding day a day out of our dreams! Yourself, Chelsea, Lynn, Craig and Penny were soo incredibly wonderful. You all have such amazing experience, were so very helpful and kind. You made Joel, me and all our guests feel like they were attending the only wedding there all year. Such incredible, luxurious attention to everyone. Chelsea thank you for being so calm, organized and patient with all of us and our inattentive bridal party. Lynn, Craig and Penny, our families are still talking about how they each felt like royalty the whole night. Angel, Joel and I so appreciate all of your patience, guidance and assistance all along the way. Hernder Estates will forever be a part of our momentous day. I wouldn’t be surprised if more family weddings were held there, as each of our guests were “wowed” with the beauty of the property and rooms. I can’t get over how special you made all of us feel. I was picturing a long email letting you know how pleased and happy we were, but there just doesn’t seem to be the right words to express what a dream day you made for us. Really spectacular. Thank you. K&J Dec 12th/09 ***************************************** Angel & Team Hernder! We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding everything we had dreamed it would be. Your help and guidance made the planning process painless, even from Winnipeg! We will cherish our memories of the day forever, and hope we can stop in to visit soon! S&A Sept 5/09 ***************************************** Hi Angel,
Shane and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and Chelsea for helping to make our day wonderful. We were thoroughly pleased with EVERYTHING! Chelsea was great. She met Shane and I and took care of us right off the bat. The hall was gorgeous, the food was amazing and the service was outstanding. There was never a line at the bar (which is important to our friends!) and Hernder staff made sure the head table was well looked after. We really appreciate everything that you and Chelsea did. Please pass this email onto her to let her know how much it meant to have her support on our big day. You really made it easy and relaxed.
Thank you!

***************************************** Hi Angel,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Hernder for making our dream wedding come true. The day went so smoothly and was beyond our expectations. The set-up by the pond for the ceremony was perfect and Chelsea made sure that every detail was being managed and that meant Ryan and I could enjoy the moment and I could stay calm! Our guests raved about the food and service and everyone had a fantastic time. Setting, service, wine, food, DJ - everything was wonderful. We thank you so much for everything and would recommend Hernder to anyone planning a wedding!!
T T & R D ~ Sept 19/09 ***************************************** I attended the C/N Wedding last weekend and I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic place you have! The staff was great helping me with an extra table when I showed up with an extra cake. I cannot remember her name but she was so helpful with everything I needed. Mick in the kitchen was also great. And my husband and I enjoyed the rest of the evening together. That's probably the best wedding food I have every had. Amazing! Kudos to all the staff there that night. Great Job!
Thank you

***************************************** Angel, Thank you so much for arranging such a spectacular wedding day and accommodating our many demands!! Everything was beautiful. Chelsea, A Special thank you for a great job coordinating our wedding. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day! I'm sure keeping my husband Lance in line took a lot of effort =) He was very grateful for the much needed beer before the ceremony! We also thank Lynne, Peggy and all the other reception staff for a job will done, keeping us all well fed and merry! The food was delicous! A great time was had by all! Sincerely... D&L (Sept 18, 2009) ***************************************** Hi Angel I am sure you get this email frequently, but I wanted to say how great Hernder Estate Wines was for our wedding on September 6th, 2009. Everything was perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better day. We got great reception from all of our guests as well. The ceremony was beautiful and the grounds were just perfect! A special kudos to Chelsea, Penny and Craig as well as the wait staff. They were all very friendly and helpful. Also, to those behind the scenes (the kitchen staff), the food was absolutely amazing. The wine we choose was really good too! The DJ was good and everyone seemed to have a fun time dancing. So thank you so much for the use of your facility and hope to attend another event there (but hopefully as a guest and not a party planner who was slightly stressed). J&A ***************************************** Hi Angel!
We're back from our honeymoon, so I'm just starting to tie up loose ends. Reality bites!
First off, thank you so very much for everything that you and the Hernder staff did to make our wedding such a special occasion. It was, in a word, perfect. As you know, 95% of our guests were from out of town, and they were enthralled with the entire winery experience! The setting was perfect, and it was everything I had imagined our day to be. Heck, I'll even give you credit for the perfect weather!
All of the staff that we dealt with during the planning process and on the big day were wonderful - they were always present without being obtrusive, and any questions that anyone had were dealt with quickly and graciously by Chelsea. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to her directly.
The food and the wine were outstanding, and the late-night opening of the wine store was a big hit with our guests. Thank you so much for offering that option to those who did not get a chance to visit the store before the ceremony.
Many thanks from a very happy bride, C

As the mother of the bride, I just wanted to express my thanks for a fabulous time that was had by all on Friday night (Sept. 11th). The room looked amazing, the service was impeccable and the food and wine was delicious. Many thanks as well to Chelsea for all her help throughout the day and evening. She kept everything organized and running on time (which was very important to the bride). Kudos as well to the DJ as he kept the dance floor full and played all the requests asked of him. My daughter kept saying it was the 'perfect day' and as a mother of the bride, my heart was filled with joy. I appreciate that your staff and facility was a big contribution to her 'perfect day' and I will recommend your place to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Thanks again.

****************************************** Hi Angel! I just wanted to say that we had a wonderful time. The winery provides the most beautiful setting. I can't wait to see pictures. The staff was great. The food was excellent and the Dj kept us dancing. I would also like to mention that the DJ played a traditional Finnish dance for us (E family is from Finland). It meant alot to them and to E to hear that music (I was happy that it was only once song - he! he! he!). We wanted a big party and that is what we got. We stayed until the end of the night. Thank you so much for making our day memorable!!
Warm regards, C&E

They catered to our every need and was always so happy to do so. Please pass along our sincere appreciation and thanks.
And to you Angel, you were awesome to deal with in the days leading up to the wedding. You were very helpful and kind and I enjoyed catching up with you on the phone during the few times we talked. All I have to say is great things about Hernder and the family that runs this very elegant and classy establishment. By the way, the food and wine were fabulous too. We got so many compliments about the beauty of the venue, the food and some commented that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended!!!
Special thanks as well to the DJ, Dave, as he was always a pleasure to deal with and played all the music that we requested. He is really a sweet guy with a lot of talent and I think it is great that you have associated yourself with such a charming DJ!

My wife and I would like to thank everyone at Hernder's for making my daughters wedding the event that it turned out to be. We simple cannot say enough about the service you provided. I spoke to many people that night who had never been to Hernder's for any type of function before and they all raved about the facilities and the food. On top of everything you did, the weather was great so if just made it a very special day for all of us - L&R especially.
A special mention to Chelsea who kept things moving - she was a tremendous help all day long and one special mention / thanks to your bartender, I'm not sure if you know this but after he tried for almost an hour to get cabs to come out to pick people up after the reception (with no luck), he ended up driving both L&R and one other couple to their respective hotels.
In closing, all the work you and your staff did leading up the 19th and on that day is so very much appreciated. If you ever need an endorsement re: your facilities / staff let me know.
Once again - our hearfelt thanks. S&A via email 2007 ************** Dear Angel

We would just like to let you know how courteous and friendly your staff was. From the rehearsal on the night before the wedding, right up until the end of our celebration on the next day, your staff made every effort to see that all our needs were met. (They succeeded!) Please pass our thanks on to them.
We also received many compliments on our choice of venue and on your delicious menu. We certainly couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our special day!
Thanks for helping us to have the wedding we always dreamed of."

"I'm sitting here today thinking of S&G's Wedding; I can't remember one thing that wasn't absolutely perfect. Even when we were having a problem with our dance lights, your people jumped right in and helped us solve the problem.
I would like you to know how much we appreciated everything. We know how expasperating it was, having so many people asking so much all the time, for this I apologize and also send a huge Thankyou!!! for all the patience and understanding. Your facilities made S&G's Wedding a Dream come true.
The Wedding Dinner was absolutely Fantastic; the presentation was Beautiful, the Service and Presenters were Excellent, Friendly and the Best I have ever had. Everyone just raved about how delicious it was. The wine certainly flowed so I'm sure you'll have a whole new clientel, there was endless conversation and compliments on everything. I would also like to thank the person, who used her own decaf tea bag to make my expectant niece a cup of tea - it was so thoughtful of her. Our late night server was great and very helpful to me.
Thank you again From the Groom's Family"

Hi Angel, "We're sorry that this letter has taken so long in coming, but we're sure you can understand that time can be just as hectic after a wedding as before. We are writing in regards to our wedding held at Hernder's on October 16, 1999. We've had so many compliments about our day that we had to let you know. Everyone could not say enough good things about Hernders - from the atmosphere to the wine, food and staff. They loved the Winery, 'The Barn' and the Victoria Room. The meal was wonderful - our compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. All the staff was very professional and went beyond the call of duty. Especially those working at the Wine Bar that day. They took excellent care of our guests who decided to 'hang around' and enjoy the winery. For that we thank them.
You often hear horror stories about other facilities. But that couldn't be farther from the truth in our case. Our Special Day was made extra special by Hernder Estate Winery and staff. It will be remembered by our family and friends for years to come.
