Below is a very kind thank you letter from Wendy & Graeme who held their wedding here at Ballathie House Hotel on 5th July 2010, a big thank you to the happy couple for allowing us to use this:
I would have liked to compose this email earlier but is has been hectic and we managed a few days away last weekend. Please pass our comments on to the staff mentioned and the managing director/owner.
Well where do i start!
Graeme and I (and our families) were absolutely delighted with our wedding day. All thanks and credit to you Gail for supporting, advising and co-ordinating everything for us in the lead up to the Wedding and on the day. Nothing was too much bother and we appreciated all your efforts, especially when plans were changed and of course no one knew what the weather was going to do on the day. Your calmness and "no problem" attitude were a great help especially when we chose to have our ceremony outside (or on the staircase) - something the hotel hadn't done before. The ceremony was perfect - just as we wanted it - thanks for making it all possible.
Ballathie was the perfect venue for us - Graeme loved it from the moment he saw it - and as I had attended a wedding before I knew the high standards that the hotel offer. Of course having my dog Holly there was essential for us and we certainly welcomed the dog friendly policy!
Please pass on thanks to all the staff - everyone deserves a mention - even those who weren't perhaps visible on the day - everyone's hard work makes a good team. However - there are a few people who we would like to single out.
The chef - Wow - produced a wonderful meal on the Sunday prior to our Wedding - thank you.
The Wedding Meal - was loved by all - everything was perfect. The food was exceptional. Thanks again to the chef also to all the hardworking staff in the kitchen and all the waiters/waitresses. They were so efficient you hardly knew they were there.
The cooked breakfast the next day was first class!
A special mention to David for being master of ceremonies and keeping everything flowing. He was very tactful and calm when we had run over time. He also saved the day with our first dance when he offered to download our chosen track and play it on ipod.
Housekeeping do a marvellous job - all the rooms were immaculate - Room 10 was beautiful - Graeme and I will definitely return again. I'm sure many of our guests and family will too. Many guests have passed on lots of positive comments about Ballathie.
I was delighted with how smoothly everything went. We were blessed with the weather and I was surprisingly calm and relaxed the whole day through. Thanks to the team for making everything perfect.
Thanks to Sharon also for assisting with reception duties and being "keeper of the keys". She was friendly to all guests and we enjoyed chatting to her.
Bar staff also deserve a personal message - especially from the hard core guests who stayed up late on the Wedding night!
It was great that we had the chance to meet the owner of the hotel - he showed an interest in our wedding and wished us well.
Thanks also to Arnaud who assisted in the run up to the Wedding. He has a lovely calm manner with guests and we wish him well in his new position at the hotel.
I hope I haven't forgotten to mention anyone - and all that's left to say to everyone is A BIG THANK YOU - we loved Ballathie!
Thanks again Gail
Best wishes
Wendy and Graeme
