Everything was perfection


I wanted you to know that everything, I mean everything was absolutely perfect!! Our guests are still texting and emailing us to say it was the best wedding they have ever attended. They felt
welcome from the moment they entered the door. They commented on how well organized and executed every part of the day was.
The food was delicious and the lamb chops were cooked to perfection.( My mother was very happy)
Now to the amazing team that serviced me, the nervous bride. It started with Bridgette who gave us our tour and solidified my dream of
having our wedding at the Palace. She witnessed my tears, as I visualized our beautiful day in the East House. She also got us our lamb chops.

Then the handoff to Raphaella, who got the Bride who was not just nervous but had some concerns. Raphaella, thank you for answering
my questions and emails and giving me all of the information I needed as I added vendors to the process. Thank you for the amazing tasting.
Thank you for reassuring me of the quality of the service and what to expect as we went through the planning process. You did not disappoint.

Now for the team who managed everything to result in perfect execution for the day, thank you to Marcia and David!!! What a dynamic duo and
they tag teamed everything seamlessly. Marcia met us on Wednesday as we dropped off items and she filled in for David. I was so happy to
know that she would be with me, since I loved her when I met her at our tasting. She extended herself and even gave me her cell number should
I have any questions or issues that I thought of after our meeting. Especially since I had forgotten several items at home. As I apologized, she just kept saying
"no problem, do not stress, you can drop them off tomorrow." She put me at ease and as promised she was there to receive the items. As we arrived
at 10:00am on Sunday she was right there waiting for me to get me to the Bridal Suite and she attended to every detail, juggling her responsibilities for
venue set up and making sure we had fresh hot coffee and Mimosas. Since my mother was also the Officiant, she was not there to dress me, but no worries
Marcia said that she would dress me and make sure I was ready and ready I was!!! She kept us on time and moved us along. When I arrived at the
staircase, she told me that no matter what if anything went wrong just stop and she would fix it. Well, my veil came off on the staircase and Marcia to the the
rescue. That was my experience the entire day with her. She is absolutely amazing and she made me feel so special and well taken care of. I also know that
she did the same for the men.
David was the master executioner, with absolute precision. He kept us organized and on time and everything flowed beautifully. It was as if he was superman operating
with lightning speed, but we never felt rushed! We never felt short changed. Our guests also raved about the quality of service they received from all of the waitstaff.
Military white glove service was on display all evening and my guests felt like absolute royalty. I felt like I was on a cloud all evening.
Our Black Tie Wedding Day was absolutely perfect and it would not have been possible without the Palace and your amazing team. Thank you to everyone who
made CATES DAY the most memorable day for my husband and I and our family and friends who traveled from all over the country to be with us.
May God bless you all and continue to prosper your business and careers.

Exceptional

Our daughter’s wedding reception was at The Palace at Somerset Park. It was the most magical and unforgettable wedding and we cannot express enough how thrilled we were with every aspect of her special day. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the place we wanted for our daughter’s reception.
The first thing that struck us was the breathtaking natural beauty of the surroundings. The venue is very grand, beautifully landscaped and surrounded by blooming flowers. It provided the perfect backdrop for stunning photographs that will be cherished forever.
The event coordination and planning process leading up to the big day was seamless and stress-free. The staff at The Palace were attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. They provided us with a great package and their attention to detail was impeccable.
On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The staff ensured that everything ran smoothly, and we didn't have to worry about a single thing, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment.
The reception area was equally impressive. The Grand Hall was beautiful, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The catering provided was exceptional, with a delectable menu that catered to various dietary preferences. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and attentive service.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a wedding venue that offers natural beauty, outstanding service, and a touch of magic, look no further than The Palace. Our daughter’s wedding was a dream come true, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We highly recommend this venue to any couples planning their special day – it truly exceeded all our expectations.
Thank you Ella, David and the entire staff at The Palace, for making our daughter’s wedding day an unforgettable experience that we will all cherish forever.

Book the palace!

Having our wedding at the Palace was the easiest decision for us. As soon as we visited, we were blown away by its beauty. We stopped by multiple times before our wedding day, and at each visit, every single person we spoke to was beyond friendly and very helpful answering any and all questions we had. Antonia was my rock leading up to our big day – always so quick to respond and calm any nerves I had beforehand. On our wedding day, Marcia and Sabrina were the best bridal attendants we could have hoped for. Without even asking, they just knew the next thing any of us needed and made sure we were happy the entire day. Also, a huge shout-out to David for being an excellent Maître D ensuring a smooth day for us – and for catching my bouquet!

The Palace at Somerset Park was one of our most favorite venues to work at. The staff is so efficient there and the maitre'd, Richard, and bridal assistant, Latonya, worked together flawlessly and were so easy to work with ourselves. They helped us flow through portraits all while keeping the bride and groom from seeing each other before the ceremony. The Palace is beautiful and the food is amazing. Can we work here every weekend? ;)
