Wedding Testimonial

Mr. Aydin,I just wanted to send you a brief email expressing my pleasure and gratitude over the fantastic job your employees performed to make my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding a dream come true. What actually started out as a joke, became the perfect wedding!! My daughter said she always dreamed of having a wedding "on the water". I was kidding when I said Lake Kittamaquandi was water. But she said that would be perfect because there is a hotel right there and it is close to home. We went the next day to talk to Ellen Budd and never looked any further!! Ellen was a joy to work with and the Columbia Sheraton was the perfect place for a beautiful wedding. Bethe and Lauren helped secure rooms for our out of town guests and Julie made the actual event stress free. I would recommend the Columbia Sheraton to anyone I know looking for the perfect wedding venue. The outside ceremony was spectacular, our guests raved about the food, the reception room was gorgeous and I didn't have to take a second mortgage out on my house to pay for it all. Thanks to you and your spectacular staff for a wedding that will happily live in our memories forever!

Bat Mitzvah Thank You Letter

"A Bat Mitzvah service takes years of hard work and study to acheive and when it's over, it is great to be able to celebrate with your family and friends. Your staff took celebration, customer service and attention to detail to a new level. It all starts with your Director of Catering, Sandy Kareskie. She was with me through my son's Bar Mitzvah and ensured my daughter's Bat Mitzvah was the toast of the town. I want to note some key points of the party that deserved to be mentioned.
  • Delectable Menu - Sandy introduced us to your new chef, Kenny Johnson. What a find you have in him! The dinner was beautifully presented with the tenderloin-pin, the aspargus dressed in carrot and the sweet potatoes so scrumptious. The crowd raved about the lamb chops and ahi tuna. Mr. Johnson listened to our requests and made the food a delictable reality.
  • Spectacular Dessert - Sandy worked with us to design a dessert that made all our guests feel that they received an academy award - literally in chocolate. Our 8" chocolate Oscars surrounded with desserts was the ultimate. Not only did it look good, but tasted amazing. Ms. Kareskie understands, listened to every detail and executed flawlessly.
  • Decor - The room was decorated so spectacularly, from the centerpieces to the candles, to the poster and lights in the alcove, to the chair covers to the beautiful pink bows. Our guests could not believe how gorgeous the room looked. Sandy mentioned that a picture was going on your website. A special thank you for everyone involved in the room set-up.

Happy times are meant to be celebrated with family and friends - and part of my extended family is the Sheraton Hotel in Columbia - a place--due to its people - I hope to share many, many happy occassions. My family, friends and I will spread the word about our memorable celebration at the Sheraton in Columbia. Thank you again."
