Hi Gary & Marti
We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect, for making us feel so welcome and at home. The wedding was everything that we could have wished for, simple and intimate, it was very “us”. We could not actually believe just how gorgeous the setting is. The pictures on the website do not do the secret garden justice. It truly is a little piece of heaven. You are both such lovely people. From start to finish you have accommodated us in every way, especially with the constant questions from me. I have also since found out that you helped my aunty with limo hire, talk about going the extra mile!
Marti, the photos are all fabulous. The only problem is trying to decide which ones to have enlarged etc! You made us feel so relaxed when taking the photos and they are all lovely combinations. I especially like the natural ones, catching people unaware. So far we have had one framed and one put on a canvas.
Hope to see you again to renew our vows in years to come!
Lisa & Phil

Dear Gary and Marti,
It is now three weeks since you married our daughter Jane to David and we, her parents, are back home in England. We just wanted to thank you both for the wonderful service you provided not just for Jane and David, but for us all. Your welcome and warmth were very much appreciated and I know that it made everyone relax and enjoy the whole day. The photography was absolutely perfect and we have had great delight in showing the wedding album to our friends and family. Several of them have commented that through looking at the photographs they feel that they were there with Jane and David on their special day. The actual service was very thoughtfully put together and meaningful to us all. I know now that we may be calling on you over the next few years to do the same for our other three children as they haven’t stopped talking about what a brilliant place and way to get married!!!! So we had better start saving now for the air fares!!!
Once again many thanks for your kindness and your hospitality and may God continue to use you both as blessings to all those you meet. Can I also add that although your secret garden looks beautiful on the website, the reality of actually stepping into it for the first time really does take your breath away. Perhaps you should rename it the ‘breathtaking secret garden’!!!

| Dear Rev. Gary,There are not enough words to describe the wonderful experience we had with you and Marti. First, the online counseling and Skype sessions were invaluable. By the time we met face to face we felt like we had known you our whole life. My guests said the ceremony was spiritual, yet light hearted and humorous and just exactly the right length! The location is beautiful and the photographs were amazing. We will be happy to speak to any of your potential clients to let them know how perfect our wedding day was. We changed our mind about the date at least three times and Rev. Gary was flexible and considerate through out it all. He even counselled us via Skype at midnight to accomodate my husband’s work schedule. I would have strangled me myself by the time we finalized everything but he took it all in stride. They made recommendations for other venues, lodging, the licensing procedure, step by step he guided us like the good shepherd that he is. Note to the public, we are from out of town and got lost going to the wedding. Rev. Gary stayed on the phone and talked us into his driveway stoplight by stoplight. We were an hour late and still managed to have a full ceremony, photos and mingling and got to our reception with plenty of time to spare. When my friends back home saw our wedding photos, (aside from the jealousy), they were impressed with the service and the quality and the cost. My wedding rivaled Princess Di’s in terms of being a fairy tale wedding. I highly recommend this husband and wife team and thank God for their hospitality and business sense. This is a ministry in itself and I am glad that they are willing vessels.
