She was friendly, professional, straightforward & answered all questions I had whether it was via text, email or phone call. Sonya was on top of all the details & made sure everything ran smoothly. The Maitre'd, WOW. She ran a smooth ship. She was right there if you needed her. Her attention to detail & customer service was fantastic. You could tell she wanted everyone to have a good time. You wouldn't have guessed there was an issue as she was right there to make sure things ran seamlessly. The rest of the staff of the boathouse from bartenders, to servers, chef, etc was fantastic! They made our day special & I cannot thank them enough! Everyone raved at how good the food was & that they enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck overlooking the lake. I believe Jennifer was our server who took care of my husband & I, making sure we had food in our bridal suite, tidying things up, that our drinks were always filled & just really wanting to make sure we were comfortable & taken care of throughout the evening. The boathouse met our needs & was perfect for us. I highly recommend!

Was pleasantly surprised when we did finally pull up to the location. Very pretty river front grounds with gorgeous trees etc. Very nice outdoor setup for a ceremony. Nicest part about this place? One party at a time - not like many of the big places where you have 3 events going on at once. The inside was very pretty with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the property. We were here for a wedding, beautiful ceremony outside and inside for cocktail hour/sit down. Food for cocktail hour was abundant and quite a range. There was food for the less picky and food for foodies. 4 different areas with either chaffing dishes of hot, carving station, cold salads, oysters, shrimp, cheese. You name it - it was there. We ate so much that when the entrees finally arrived, we were full. Open bar was a hit too, with a large group sucking up all the premium liquors. I guess, because the Estate offers shuttle service to the and from hotel, people were more inclined to drink. We left after a few bites of dinner only because we had such a hike back. All in all, it's a great place to have an event. I worked in this industry for many years and this place seems to get it right.

And it's obvious why when you see the beautiful arrangement that arrived first thing Monday AM. I placed my order on Sunday while the shop was closed. I selected a Monday delivery, however I had no expectation they would be able to fulfill the order. First thing Monday morning I received an email the order had been received and before 10A my dear friend sent the photo attached so happy and excited to receive such a beautiful arrangement. Ordering online was easy to navigate, straight forward and secure. The email responses to my order were excellent and kept me informed of the status of my order. The arrangement, the picture says it all. It's a perfect selection of flowers put together beautifully and well worth the costs. It was obvious the time and care that went into selected and arranging the flowers. I highly recommend Dahlia and they will be my go to florist for all occasions when sending flowers to my bestie. Thanks so much for making her day and week special.

Jenna is the MOST INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WEDDING BUSINESS!! My cousin discovered Jenna for…read moreher PA wedding in 2020 where I immediately knew I would be using her for my NJ December 2023 wedding. THEN, my sister used Jenna for her PA May 2024 wedding! In addition to being our wedding day photographer for all three of our weddings she also did all three of our engagement photo shoots. I had a specific vision for my engagement photos and asked Jenna to do non-traditional engagement photos in our home and SHE DELIVERED! Being in our home taking our engagement photos was such a special moment for my husband and it made us much more comfortable then being out in public. If you have a vision, let Jenna know, she will make it happen! Not only did my wedding photos come out gorgeous (I still look at them almost daily) but what really made Jenna the best wedding vendor I booked, was the level of professionalism and comfortability she gave myself and my husband. Having your photos taken isn't always the most natural thing for regular folks but Jenna made myself and my husband feel SO comfortable and it SHOWS In the photos! You can see our smiles are genuine both in our engagement photos and wedding day photos. Jenna gave easy directions, didn't over direct and always was looking for opportunities to make us smile and laugh! I also really appreciate that Jenna is not glued to a clock, and she worked with how your day flows and does not leave until every moment is captured. Jenna met with us several times prior to our wedding day to plan and prepare and I felt very supported leading to the day of my wedding and had no fears going into the big day! Jenna captured the best day of our lives with beautiful photos that I will cherish forever! I will always be thankful for Jenna and her work on our wedding day. She already knows that she will be booked for all my other cousin's future weddings AND personally all other big moments in my life that need a photographer i.e. Family Photos, New Baby! WE LOVE YOU JENNA! THANK YOU! ALL NJ BRIDE BOOK JENNA ASAP!

Vendor review: Jenna…read morePerfette Photography - Do Not Recommend We used this vendor for our engagement shoot. Although the pictures were okay, some were good (I give credit where due) - I would be doing a disservice to the brides on here by not telling you - unless you have no budget - go elsewhere. I cannot begin to tell you how expensive this was. My fiancé planned it as a surprise and was never told about the price list, nor is it on her site or Facebook. He was told $350 for the shoot, $250 for the shoot and $100 for a package. Now, he was under the impression, because he wasn't told otherwise, or provided anything that the package is for prints, or photo albums etc. But in fact, even for the digital copies, you have to pay either $40 PER PICTURE or $550 for all. This is in addition to the $350. Other packages are $900+ (again, in addition to the $250). I don't know about you ladies, but it was deceptive to be told this after we had the shoot and paid the $350. When I inquired about the digital only, she admits she isn't the cheapest but says we are paying for the 'experience' as well. I wasn't going to Disney, I was getting a few photos taken. I hope this information is helpful for anyone looking for a engagement shoot. This photographer is 3x's the cost of others I've seen - who are just as good. Needless to say, had we had all the information upfront, we would have went elsewhere. I'm happy to send anyone a copy of the price list - if you need it as it's not public. It's information I wish I had! It's not like me to put bad reviews, but after I expressed concern twice about the expense and she had zero to no interest in helping to apologizing for a lack of transparency in the beginning - I now feel obligated to warn others.
