"Liz & Suzanne,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
EVERYTHING was just beautiful! I can’t tell you how many people
commented on the venue and the gorgeous flowers throughout the evening.
Everyone loved the location and everything about the evening. You
two ladies are AWESOME and we appreciate everything it took to bring
Sarah and Brian’s special day together as beautifully as you
did.
I want to commend you and your staff on the very well orchestrated
evening! You all went above and beyond and we greatly appreciate
all the effort that was expended so very much!
Thank you both again. It was fabulous!"
Terri Pointer, Mother of the Bride (Pointer/Ziese wedding
& reception, 7/24/10)
"Suzanne,
Amidst the pile of wedding gifts I'm still receiving and trying
to organize for Jessica's move to Italy next month, my heart and
mind are still in Wimberley and at Old Glory Ranch. To say that
you and your staff made Jessica and Taylor's day special would be
an understatement. In so many ways, you've made it much more than
that. For a family that hasn't been together in over 15 years, your
ranch, your chapel, your staff, made this day not only a fairy tale
union between a young couple but one of a family's reunion. For
this, you'll forever remain a constant memory that what matters
most when planning a wedding isn't how much you spend....it's how
much you make it meaningful.
I could fill a book with everything that had significant meaning
regarding Jessica and Taylor's wedding at Old Glory Ranch.
I never could have planned this in three months without the enormous
help of you and your staff. You made it seem virtually effortless.
It's been the most fun I've had in years!! Everyone was more than
gracious and helpful whenever I needed guidance. I've heard from
many guests and the word is this was a wedding like none other.
They simply loved it! Even the bands loved being there!! I highly
recommend them both!
I regret not remembering to have you, Gina and Carey sign the "Texas
Hill Country" guest book. Maybe one day Jessica will get back
there with it. Again, thank you so much for making my "little
girl's" dream wedding come true. It was simply beautiful, simply
elegant, simply perfect.
I'd be more than pleased to have you include my letter on your website!
I wish I would have written more!! I forgot to tell you how beautiful
the flowers were, and that I noticed you added an extra, gorgeous
container of them on the patio! The chapel and patio looked exquisite
with all your arrangements!! So elegant!!
If there's ever a need for a Houston liaison to assist brides from
H Town, I'd be honored if you'd consider me. I spent many years
as an MD Anderson faculty spouse member planning some of their yearly
galas and had an interior design buisness for over 30 years. I loved
planning Jessica's wedding at Old Glory Ranch and would welcome
the opportunity to work with you and your staff again.
God bless you all!"
Kristin Tveit-Sawaya (Lacy/Franklin Wedding & Reception
~ 5/29/10)
"Well, I have a question! Have you ever,
ever, ever seen a happier bride?
I know I cannot begin to express my gratitude
to both of you and to your staff for Sarah’s and Josh’s
beautiful wedding! Yes, there was shuffling; yes, there were weather
concerns; yes, there were all those beautiful flowers going unnoticed
(and I’m most sorry about that for all of you because you
worked sooo hard to make them so beautiful) but, in the end it was
everything Dan and I had hoped it would be for them and everything
Sarah had ever hoped for. And, yes, my marriage survived!
Suzanne, that altar was spectacular. Those
orchids and the way you designed them were breathtaking. The baptismal
font was stunning and it was so thoughtful and generous of you to
surprise us with it. Thank you. Thank you for the romantic chandeliers
lighting those absolutely magnificent trees. The music was wonderful.
Jill Dally is so easy to work with and did everything to make Sarah’s
musical wishes come true. I kept wanting the night to slow down
so I would get the chance to see all those touches that we planned
and that I knew you would make so special. I almost missed the “heritage”
table. I kept trying to stop and take snapshots in my mind’s
eye of each charming vignette.
Liz, (I really mean this.) thank you for answering
all my question; thank you for trying to keep us on track in those
meetings, thank you for following up on the details all the time.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THOSE BOXES TO THE GATE!!! I felt so confident
that it would all go well because you don’t forget anything!
You are SO good at what you do!
Old Glory Ranch is a truly special place.
You have created an absolutely beautiful venue. You all were an
absolute joy to work with. You were patient, professional, knowledgeable,
constant, kind, creative and so caring. Speaking of caring, I want
you to know that Carey was an absolute joy to work with. She was
calming and she was EVERYWHERE! She was either checking on me or
checking on Sarah. Thank you for her!
Your staff (EVERY single one I met) was so
upbeat and helpful in every way I needed them to be. Your communication
that night was so well done. I couldn’t have wished for it
to run more smoothly. Whenever I had a request or I needed a question
answered, someone was right there on a headset finding the answer
for me?
You all get to live and work in such a beautiful
part of our great state! Wimberley is precious and all of our guests
had nothing but wonderful comments about Old Glory and Wimberley.
Most of them have told Dan, Sarah, Josh and me that it may have
been the most beautiful wedding they had every attended. I think
it was too! That’s lovely to hear. It’s great advertising
for you. But, the best compliment of all was from our daughter who
told us that it was absolutely the best night of her life. For that,
I love all of you."
Ann (Sweeney/Vore Wedding and Reception 5/1/2010)
"Dear Suzanne & Gina:
It was such a pleasure working with you this past weekend! Thank
you so much for your patience throughout the entire process. I look
forward to many more opportunities for us to work together in the
future!"
Kristen White, Belle of the Ball Event Planning
"Suzanne, you and your staff at OGR made
the Loring-Ikard Wedding event a huge success, both for Ledlie and
Will but also the gathered family and friends. We all had a wonderful
and stress-free time! Thank you for providing such a beautiful place
and perfect weather. Thanks also for the most welcome CD of photos.
In the hurly-burly some of the prettiest settings and arrangements
may not have received the attention they deserved from the bridal
party. Thank you for providing us with a second look. We appreciate
your photographic record of an unforgettable occasion. With our
best wishes."
Steve and Hilary Loring (Wedding & Reception 4/10/10
"Steve and I would like to thank you
and the whole staff for all that you did to make our wedding perfect!
We loved every minute of it and it was just as I dreamed. Everyone
we spoke to after the wedding was so impressed with the location
and how well everything went. Again, thank you for everything."
Stephanie Perry (Wedding & Reception March 27, 2010)
"With the exception of the transportation
issue (and I know that truly
wasn't your fault), everything went perfectly! Your staff is to
be
commended for the professionalism in which they handled every last
detail. We thank you for everything!"
Mother of the Bride, Robin Kehoe (Brandi & Jerry West
wedding March 20, 2010)
"Liz, your patience and assistance with
everything cannot be thanked enough. I don’t know how I could
have made it through the evening without you! You were there whenever
we needed help and often before we even knew it! You are such an
integral part of the OGR family and you and Suzanne complement each
other beautifully. My parents and I had such fun working with both
of you, and we wish you all the best."
Sincerely, Jennifer (Wedding Reception, October 24, 2009)
" Suzanne, I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation
for the wonderful picnic and wedding celebration at Old Glory Ranch.
My parents, Glenn and I were so thrilled with every detail –
all of the creative ideas, thoughtful planning and careful execution
from yourself and the OGR staff. We were told time and time again
how beautiful the location was and how much fun everyone had…and
they LOVED the green tractor, especially Glenn!
Thanks again for such great fun and lasting memories. We wish you
continued success with OGR, and I hope our paths cross again in
the future."
Sincerely, Jennifer (Wedding Reception, October 24, 2009)
"Thank you for a great experience at
Old Glory Ranch. We were quite impressed with your facility and
the professional staff. Everything seemed to go as planned and the
guests seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was the first time as
a musician I was offered valet parking and everyone was so helpful.
Please keep us in mind for future engagements should the need arise.
All of the Tone Rangers had a positive experience and we'd be happy
to play there again."
John Russell (and the Tone Rangers)
“Suzanne, I wanted to thank you and
your staff for hosting such a fabulous event for our daughter Erica’s
wedding. The months of planning really paid off. I appreciate your
thoughtful approach to designing and delivery of such a beautiful
event. I know you went to a lot of additional effort on our behalf
and it showed in the finished product. It was truly magical to see
it all come together! Also, your staff is awesome! I received many
wonderful compliments from our guests. I can not say enough nice
things about Kellye. She took such great care of us. I felt like
I was in good hands and that every detail was covered. It allowed
me to relax and enjoy the evening. Thank you for helping to make
Erica and George’s wedding a memorable event for all those
who participated.”
Susan Schatz (Wedding and Reception, May 24, 2009)
"Dear Suzanne & Staff
Terry and I will never be able to thank all of you for making our
wedding day so very special – it was indeed a fairytale come
true! The weather, the music, the gorgeous flowers, and the wedding
deck , simply by virtue of its natural beauty setting along the
gently flowing rapids – what a synchrony of perfection! Arriving
to chiming bells in the beautiful white carriage pulled by Diamond
& Pearl – what more could any bride ask for? I waited
such a long time for my Prince Charming – thank you, with
all my heart, for making May 29, 2009 such a magical memory that
Terry and I will cherish forever & 'Longer'”.
Terry & Gail (Wedding, May 29, 2009)
“Kellye we are indeed basking in the
glow of an AMAZING, EXTRAORDINARY, PERFECT WEDDING !!!!!!!
Old Glory Ranch was absolutely magical. The Riverside setting is
breathtaking, the patio and chapel hall are both beautiful. All
of you awed us with the flower arrangements and decor -- everything
was exactly as we had hoped it would be. The carriage and horses
captivated everyone. The bride and groom and both families are elated
with true happiness.
Of course we realize that what pulled it all together into the cohesive
amazing event it was, was the Old Glory staff. You all were so coordinated,
professional, thoughtful, pleasant and helpful !!!! That enhanced
the joyful experience for all of us. Even many of our guests commented
on how wonderful you , Carey, and the rest of the staff were!
Elly, Michael and I will always remember your kindness, sweetness
and ever positive approach to all aspects of our planning this exceptional
wedding for our daughter. Elly and Chris came to us at the end of
the evening to thank us for their "perfect wedding". So
I am thanking you for enabling us to give our daughter and son-in-law
such a significant gift of love.
Best wishes to you and all the rest of the Old Glory group for many
more beautiful moments on the ranch, and a happy Holiday Season.
We will remember all of you at Old Glory Ranch in our Thanksgiving
prayers because we are truly grateful for having known you.”
Paula Steenken (Wedding and Reception November 15, 2008)
“Suzanne, Bob and I just wanted to thank
you again for such an outstanding and ridiculously beautiful wedding!
Our guests were in awe of the beauty of Old Glory Ranch and uniqueness
of the setting. Courtney and Brian were thrilled with the entire
wedding. Your staff was so helpful and we felt like the entire event
went off without a hitch! We appreciate the great attentiveness
to every detail throughout the evening. The planning process was
so easy, and I was so thankful for all of your suggestions and help.
Sandra and Carey were so gracious, and we appreciate their individual
help on all matters. Thanks again to Old Glory Ranch and all of
your staff.”
Luanne and Bob Lurvey (Wedding and Reception, October 25,
2008)
“It goes without saying that Old Glory
Ranch is a jewel. Nature and design have melded perfectly in this
outstanding venue. God blessed us with perfect weather throughout
the wedding weekend so that we could truly benefit from the magnificent
settings. All attending enjoyed themselves at the Pavilion for the
rehearsal dinner and the Chapel for the wedding and reception. The
staff knows how to perform and present expertly, but your dearest
gem is Kellye Lawson. She merits special commendation, and we salute
her competence and compassion.”
Barbara and Ernie Koy (Wedding and Reception, October 4,
2008)
"Logistics-across-Texas presents foreseeable
challenges when planning such a special event. But we had confidence
all would work because Kellye is in Wimberley! While designing the
rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception, your attention to our needs
was enormously appreciated throughout the process. Having a matter
of months to weave the Lucy and Michael's dream wedding into the
tapestry it became required someone with your grace, patience and
understanding. You are knowledgeable, efficient, dependable and
attentive to the wishes of your clients. We, and the guests, enjoyed
a celebration par excellence! Michael and Lucy will cherish the
memories of their wedding weekend into the future. Thank you again
for everything!"
Barbara Koy (Koy/Lennox Wedding & Reception, October
4, 2008
"Kellye & Andrea, I just wanted to
tell you both how much we appreciate all you did for the wedding.
Everything was beautiful, and it all ran smoothly. We had a great
time celebrating with family and friends. They all loved the ranch!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work."
Libby Dearden (Adams/Dearden Wedding & Reception, August
9, 2008
" Kellye, Carey, Kim and Suzanne, A big
thank you for the amazing day you shared with Gunnar and me. First,
we want to tell you what a tremendous pleasure it was to work with
each and every one of you. We feel like we made some dear friends
during the planning process, and we are sad we won't be seeing you
on a regular basis now that the big day has happened. I feel so
fortunate to have had my wedding at Old Glory Ranch. The day couldn't
have gone smoother, and even three months after the wedding I am
still hearing compliments from friends, family and vendors. It is
amazing how well you account for each and every detail that goes
into such a big day. You did such a great job bringing life to some
of our ideas and the set up was impeccable. Thanks for being so
accessible during the planning process. Every time I called with
a question, someone was available and knew the answer on the spot.
We were also appreciative of your patience as my family made some
impromptu visits to Old Glory Ranch. Kellye, you were so welcoming,
generous and always made us feel at home. Suzanne, thank you so
much for the picture cd you sent us. Your pictures captured so many
details, and I love that I can revisit them over and over. Old Glory
Ranch is a well oiled machine with the most graceful personal touches.
Because of that, our wedding day was a dream come true for us and
we are forever grateful to you!"
Candice & Gunnar Heinisch (Laymance/Heinisch Wedding
& Reception, September 8, 2007)
"We just want to thank you, Kellye, for
one of the most wonderful nights of our lives. You and your crew
made a wonderful evening for us and we will remember it always.
Thank you personally for all of your help and ideas throughout the
whole engagement. It was always a pleasure meeting with you. I just
want you to know you helped make my dreams come true, and I feel
blessed that we found Old Glory Ranch. We had a great time and so
did all of our guests!"
Courtney & Mark Frazier (Gooden/Frazier Wedding &
Reception, May 19, 2007)
“Suzanne it is hard to believe it has
already been seven months since the wedding. We can not put into
words what our weekend meant to us. You and your staff created our
fairytale. We dreamed about how we wanted our wedding to be and
those dreams were exceeded. Our friends and family are still talking
about it…the best wedding they have ever been to in their
lives. God bless you and the Old Glory Ranch staff!”
Will and Leslie Oliver (Wedding and Reception, May 3, 2008)
"Thank you Kellye for working so hard
to make our wedding day a beautiful one. We cannot tell you how
many compliments we received about the beauty of Old Glory Ranch.
After our wedding, the population of Wimberley may increase greatly...Everyone
we know now wants to move there. Your sweet attention to every detail
was so appreciated. Thanks again."
Emily & Toby Mills (Harper/Mills Wedding & Reception,
March 31, 2007)
"Kellye - We wanted to say thank you
for the terrific wedding celebration. Your team was on point and
attentive to the guests. The wedding was choreographed down to the
most minute detail. You are right about the guests not having a
clue about the behind the scenes activity. If it is done right,
which in this case it was flawless, the guests never see a ripple
in the water. Thank you for your leadership and kindness."
Pat Gooden (Gooden/Frazier Wedding & Reception, May
19, 2007)
"We wanted to say thanks to you and your
staff of professionals for putting on an absolutely flawless wedding
at your venue. The feedback from our friends who traveled from Houston
and also the San Antonio area were in total agreement that Old Glory
Ranch was the best venue they had ever been to for a wedding. Not
to mention their comments that the staff and service was impeccable.
Suzanne, thanks for all of your personal attention to this celebration."
The Goodens (Gooden/Frazier Wedding & Reception, May
19, 2007)
"I just wanted to thank you and your
staff for all of your help. Kim was wonderful. Quincy was gracious.
Your whole staff went above and beyond, and I appreciate all you
did. You have a beautiful ranch. I am glad I was able to share it
for a day."
Amy Weaver (Wahlert/Vaughn Rehearsal Dinner, May 4, 2007)
"The complete process from planning the
ceremony to the reception was great. Kellye, you were great. The
decor was fantastic and the guests really enjoyed the reception
and all of the details. You were superb, and I really appreciate
what you did to make the wedding a memorable one. Anjie is very
happy the way everything turned out. It was awesome."
Ive Patton (Patton/Motal wedding & Reception, October
14, 2006)
"I can’t thank all of you enough
for making Stephen’s and my wedding perfect!
Suzanne – the flowers were exactly what we wanted and everyone
told me how much they loved them and the chapel.
Kim- Thank you for always keeping us up to speed on everything.
You were always there to answer our questions with a smile on your
face.
Carey- You made the wedding run so smoothly. You handled all the
guests so well and did a great job of keeping the groom and groomsmen
in check.
I can’t begin to tell you how many people have asked about
renting your facility. After two weeks, I still hear people talking
about the wedding and how beautiful it was. I will recommend ya’ll
from here on out to everyone I can. Thanks for all the great memories"
Trish and Stephen Mogonye, Wedding July 14, 2006
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank
you and your staff. For simply not only being some of the friendliest
people I have ever met, but for truly being one of the only hands
on venue that I have ever witnessed - flawlessly taking care of
the client. You will always be recommended by me for anyone looking
for the BEST hill country wedding."
Fred Bishop, DJ, Splawn Wedding & Reception, July 15,
2006
"John and I wanted to take the opportunity
to thank you and your staff in assisting Amy and Rich to have a
memorable moment. As consultants, we go to many hotels and reception
sites and work with many different teams. I can not tell you what
a pleasure it was to work with your team. You run a well organized
team and everything was done in the most professional manner. I
don't think Kim or Peggy know the word "no"! Every request
was greeted with a can do attitude. This was our first experience
at Old Glory and we look forward to working with you again. Thank
you."
Jo Ann Woodward, Wedding Consultant @ Woodward & Schwartz
Houston, Texas
"Thanks to you and your staff for making
Kim's wedding such a memorable and successful event. The overall
experience was truly a positive one and we would recommend your
facility to anyone who asks. Thanks for the CD's with the
pictures. You and your staff did an excellent job."
Jim & Kathy Spalding
"What can I say? Even after a week,
we are still in awe of Old Glory Ranch, its' staff, and its' beauty.
Thank you all so much for making Amy and Zach's fairy tale wedding
come true. We received so many compliments from our
guests about the building, patio, oak grove, flowers, cake,donkeys and,
of course, the BBQ! All of your recommendations were
excellent. I know I speak for Amy when I say that especially beautiful
were the bridal party bouquets. And the wall tins in the chapel
--- perfect! The happy couple returns today
from Cabo San Jose, and we are all looking forward to Key's photos
so that we can cherish the memories over and over. Many sincere
thanks again to you and your entire staff. Best wishes,"
Pam and Jim Kirkland
"I just wanted to thank all of you for
the most pleasant experience I have ever had at a facility. You
provide service above and beyond any place I have seen, and I have
been in the business close to eleven years. Thank you! I look forward
to seeing you again soon."
Trenda Osborne, Disk Jockey, Krista and John Scott Wedding
and Reception, June 25, 2005
"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful
dream wedding come true. From the first day I walked into the chapel,
I fell in love with Old Glory. I have looked forward to getting
married there ever since that day. The flowers were absolutely perfect.
I was taken back when I saw how beautiful everything looked. Suzanne,
you and your staff have been exceptional to work with. Kellye -
you always had a kind word for me when I was stressed, and you made
time for my ten thousand questions! I really appreciate all the
hard work you all put into making my wedding day so delightful.
I also loved the McCord Riverhouse. I know you will be seeing us
again and again in the years to come because we loved staying there
and playing in the river. Your ranch is so amazing, and I know you
must be so proud of all of your hard work. Thank you so much!"
Brandi Beeler, Wedding and Reception, June 18, 2005
"You have the nicest staff and everyone
at Old Glory Ranch is so professional. You all made my wedding day
a fairy tale. Kellye made us stress so much less, and she really
took care of everything. Grant and I were so happy with our wedding.
Our guests always refer to our wedding as the most fun. Old Glory
Ranch is the epitome of class. Suzanne, you have done a wonderful
job with a beautiful place. Thank you so much!"
Grant and Lindsay Randall, Wedding and Reception, July 17,

of your help with our wedding. We just keep talking about how perfect
it was and how much we enjoyed it. It was the wedding we dreamed
of, and we thank everyone at Old Glory! Kellye, your calm personality
and warm spirit gave us such peace of mind. It didn't seem like
any of us were nervous. We will be forever grateful for you and
your help with our special day. There are only beautiful memories
which we will cherish forever."
Zach and Julie Burns, Wedding and Reception November 5,
2004
"I want to let
you know that our Saturday evening at the Pavilion was fantastic.
Everyone had a great time. The view just blew everyone away. The
decorations were great, the ladies running the hayride were absolute
characters and Salt Lick took such good care of us. Jill Jones did
a fantastic job, as you indicated she would. Even the birthday cake
was great; I just kept cutting until it was gone. Finally, my highest
compliment to Trent. He was a true professional, handling all of
our needs quickly and efficiently. He is a wonderful human being
and it was a pleasure getting to know him. Once again, thanks for
creating such a wonderful ambience. My wife will truly remember
her birthday for years to come. Please thank your entire staff,
including Liz, for taking such good care of us. Hopefully you will
be there in 50 years when I start planning for Kate's 100th birthday
party!"
Ron Tilton, Birthday Party October 9, 2004
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Words cannot express my appreciation for all of your hard work.
You made the entire wedding process extremely enjoyable. You took
care of everything and allowed me to be at peace. Everyone that
you recommended - we used - and it turned out perfect. The entire
day was perfect! We are still receiving compliments on how beautiful
the wedding was. I had 110% faith in OGR. I completely trusted every
one of you. I have never been so calm or confident, and your impeccable
attention to detail allowed me to be that way. I greatly appreciate
all of your hard work.
P.S. To the flower team...Martha Stewart who??? You guys are unbelievable.
Thanks!"
Heather Hutto, Wedding and Reception October 16, 2004
"Thank you all so much for the great
job you did! The flowers were beautiful and the service from the
staff was exceptional. Carey and Andrea were on top of everything.
We had so many compliments from guests and family about Old Glory
Ranch and what a beautiful place it is and what a "movie set
" appearance you portray. Thanks again!"
Ingrid Kent, Wedding and Reception October 23, 2004
"We do not know where to begin to express
our thanks for the amazing wedding and reception you provided! As
we left the wedding (exhausted), I looked at Chris and asked "can
we do this again for our five year anniversary?". We had the
time of our lives! Every bride has an idea of her dream wedding
and hopes that everything will be perfect on her big day. I can
honestly say that even with my active imagination, I never would
have imagined my big day being as beautiful and as special as it
was! The flowers, the decorations, the food, the music, the carriage,
the atmosphere and most importantly the employees were all wonderful!
Everything was organized perfectly (which meant a lot to me) and
every request I made was met! The ceremony went exactly as planned
and the reception flowed flawlessly! It was a perfect dream! Everyone
at the wedding wanted to know how we found such an awesome place,
and commented on how it was the best wedding they had ever been
to! Well, I have to agree it was the best wedding I have ever been
to and still cannot believe it was ours! Suzanne, thank you so much
for allowing us to celebrate our special day at Old Glory Ranch.
Old Glory is something really unique and we feel so privileged to
hav been able to share our wedding with you. You have given us a
lifetime of memories! Andrea and Kellye, people always tell scary
stories about their wedding planner, but I lucked out again - you
two were perfect! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into
our wedding to make it everything we could have ever wanted and
treating all of our family and friends so kind! The wedding was
so organized and everything was gorgeous! You are both so sweet
and it was a pleasure to be able to work with you. Thank you again
for all of your hard work in making our wedding day so unbelievable!"
Chris and Lesley Blanks, Wedding and Reception, May 22,
2004
"I want to let
you know how wonderful your staff is.You all provide the best service
I have ever seen. Thank you so much for making my daughter's wedding
feel so special. I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful the wedding
was. Liz and Kellye are remarkable people and they compliment you,
Suzanne, so well. I will highly recommend Old Glory Ranch to anyone
planning a wedding. Thanks again!"
Teresa Schumaker, Wedding and Reception, July 17, 2004
"Cullen and I want to express our gratitude
for how wonderfully our wedding went on June 12th. During the engagement,
the bride is always warned that something will go wrong during the
wedding - but nothing went wrong for us out at Old Glory. In fact,
everything was perfect! (As a devoted perfectionist, that is not
something I usually say.) The flowers were beautiful, everything
went according to plan, the donkeys were wonderful, and above all,
your staff's professionalism and kindness were top-notch. Not only
did I feel like royalty all evening, but my friends and family -
especially our grandparents - were treated so well. I can not write
enough wonderful things about Andrea, and Peggy did a great job
of keeping everything organized and everyone happy. Everyone remarked
about how calm I seemed, but it's only because of the dedication
and professionalism of the Old Glory staff. Because of the beautiful
setting and incredible organization of people and skills that you
and Liz have created, my wedding will be a memory that I will treasure.
Cullen had a wonderful time, and as we were leaving the wedding,
he said "All that planning was worth it - that was great. Enough
said! Thank you so much for everything. Old Glory will always have
a special place in my heart."
Christi Moeller, Wedding & Reception, June 12, 2004
"Recently I attended the Carson wedding
and reception at your facility and was left in awe. You have a truly
wonderful facility and I was so impressed by the genuine kindness
of all of your staff. At the reception, I loved how beautiful your
serving tables were and your food was fabulous. Again, I am truly
impressed with all that you have to offer and will recommend you
to all my friends looking for a place for weddings or other functions."
Connie Oliver (Carson Wedding & Reception June 26, 2004)
"I just want to say that you and your
staff are wonderful. I will always recommend Old Glory Ranch to
anyone who is having a wedding. I know the effort it takes to work
as a team, which your staff does in spades. I also know that as
the leader goes, so goes the organizatiojn, so all of this is a
tribute to you. My only complaint is that the wedding went by too
fast. I loved every minute of it!"
Marty (Wedding and Reception, May 1, 2004)
"Just a brief note to thank you for your
part in Kevin and Elizabeth's wedding. It was everything I had hoped
for and beyond. Friends and family are still talking about it! You
all did a wonderful job and run a very smooth event. Thank you again
for all of your efforts. It was truly a pleasure meeting and working
with all of you."
Barbara Heinz (Wedding and Reception, May 15, 2004)
"Just a little note to say a big thank you for hosting and
doing so much to make the River Oaks Breakfast Club Wimberley Saturday
evening dinner and dancing at Old Glory Ranch such a delicious and
fun time for all! Suzanne, you are a marvel and everything and everyone
compromising Old Glory Ranch is the best! Your staff are obviously
very proud to be a part of your team. That was the best band we've
danced to in years."
Andy (River Oaks Breakfast Club, April 24, 2004)
"This card is not nearly big enough to
express my thanks for all that you did - my Hill Country fairy tale
came true! From the day we met, I knew it would be a fun and whirlwind
experience... if I had only known! You and your staff did so much
to make me feel special and so taken care of. And Laura's natural
good taste was the icing on the cake. Thanks again for giving me
a perfect day at the most beautiful Texas spot I know!"
Lauren Bullock (Wedding and Reception, May 17, 2003)
"Joal and I want to thank you and your
entire staff for helping to make our wedding such a beautiful event.
It was such a wonderful evening. We are so very happy that we chose
Old Glory Ranch. It couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you for
the lovely album and photos that you sent to us. They will help
us remember all of the special moments of that night. We would definitely
love to come back and visit some time."
Erin and Joal Harper (Wedding and Reception, December 13,
2003)
"Can one express such delight on such
a small card? I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your flawless
presentation, exquisite planning and amazing staff. The compliments
we have received are to the point of overwhelming. Yet I still feel
like I just showed up and it was handled. I really cannot thank
you enough."
The newest Mrs. Lee (Wedding and Reception, November 8,
2003)

that you did for us."

"It's hard to believe that over a month
has passed since we said our vows at Old Glory! Jason &
I wanted to let you know how wonderfully happy we were with how
everything turned out at the wedding. Everything you did from
the beginning made us feel comfortable and relaxed about the entire
weekend. You and your staff acted in a truly professional
manner, had everything well organized and made the suggestions we
needed. From your lovely home on the River to the best wedding
band of all times (The El Orbits), the whole weekend was a huge
success! Jason and I had the time of our lives and will cherish
the memories from Old Glory for the rest of our lives! Everyone
who attended the wedding has commented on how wonderful your place
is and how much fun they had. From the bottom of our hearts......Thank
you.......for your personal touches in making our time both the
happiest and most fun of our lives!"
Susan and Jason (Wedding & Reception, September 13,
2003)
"The pictures & album were SO great!!!!! Susan
was really surprised and pleased. You certainly went above
& beyond, & we all appreciated this & everything else
you did for us. We really appreciate all the work you did in
making everything go so smoothly for us. People seem to like
everything about the whole wedding –the food, flowers, music,
place, people, etc… So we thank you, thank you! We look
forward to seeing you again. Please thank all your staff again. It
was so much fun for us."
Bette Claypool (Wedding & Reception, September 13, 2003)
"A very belated yet none-the-less a huge
thank you to you all. Our wedding was everything we had hoped
for and more! The floral design was outstanding. I truly
loved it, and the food. I had friends say, “this is the
best wedding food ever!” All of the details were superb
– no worries for me or my family. Thank you for thinking
of EVERYTHING and for making our memorable event joyous. Thank
you too for the lovely & thoughtful photo album – you’re
so talented! We look forward to seeing you again us I feel sure
other friends will choose Old Glory Ranch for their wedding."
Amy & Rob Lauer (Wedding and Reception, May 3, 2003)
"Thank you so much for all that you and
Laura and your great staff did to make our wedding weekend so enjoyable.
Kelly and I spent the next day flying to the BVI talking about how
much fun we had, how perfect everything was, how stress-free the
entire weekend was, and how we would be willing to do it all over
again in a heartbeat (which you don't usually hear from newlyweds!).
Your ranch is spectacular and every detail was perfect. Looking
over the pictures and remembering back to all of the special moments,
we are constantly reminded of what a great weekend it was. I hope
y'all took the opportunity Sunday to sit back, pat yourselves on
the collective back and revel in the spectacular event that you
pulled off. I have been singing, and will continue to sing, your
praises to anyone who mentions weddings or similar events. Our guests
have had similarly glowing comments. Thank you! Thank you also for
the photo album. It just adds to the great memories. I love the
picture of Grant and Laura. The River house was wonderful and only
added to the "stress-free" nature of the weekend. Thanks
for everything!"
Ryan Anderson (Wedding & Receoption, Spring 2003)
"Suzanne,
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful album you sent us.
What a wonderful surprise! We will not have our pictures back
from the photographer for some time and it is so nice to have some
pictures to show off. Everything went so well for the wedding,
we were very pleased at how it turned out. I want to thank
all of you for making our wedding so wonderful. Patrick and
I are so glad we decided to have our wedding at your beautiful facility.
Take care and God bless!"
Jennifer Guinn (Wedding and Reception Nov. 23, 2002)
"Jennifer, Brent, Evy and I want
to extend warm greetings for your holiday times. I know they
will be very busy at your glorious ranch. We have such fond
and wonderful memories from our June 1 wedding. Thanks to
you both and all the other true professionals who helped to make
our 2002 a memorable one. Someday I am going to drive out
and show you Shawn's gorgeous pictures; your ranch has to be one
of the best settings in the world for wedding pictures ..."
Meg (Wedding reception June 1, 2002)
"Spencer and I want to express our sincerest
thanks for the impeccable job you did on our wedding. the
flowers and decorations were exquisite and the ambience was everything
we dreamed of and more! Not only were Spencer and I thrilled with
the outcome, but our guests were as well. We have received
raving from all of our friends and family. Your staff and
yourself truly helped to make our wedding "UNFORGETTABLE."
Katrina (Wedding and reception Oct. 26, 2002)
"I wanted to tell you again how wonderful
the wedding was. It was like a dream. Bryan and I were
very happy with the way everything went off. Kathy (OGR wedding
coordinator) is great too. She stayed so calm and took such
good care of us. It made me be much more relaxed, that is
for sure. ... Well, thanks again for all the hard work that
you and your staff put in. They are all wonderful, gracious
people and it was a blast. ... "
Michelle (Wedding and reception Nov. 1, 2002)
"Just wanted to write and say thank you
for an amazing wedding! I cannot count the number of guests
who came up to us and said things like "How did you FIND this
place - it's perfect!" and "This is the best wedding
I've ever been to!", etc...... Your legendary attention to
detail really made the difference. I was simply blown away
(and you know how picky I am, so that means something!) You
are truly a group of "event artists"! It is funny
- everyone thought I would be freaking out about the chance for
rain, and I was like "Nope, they've got it under control out
there, I'm not worried." Which was nice. We never
worried about a thing. In fact, JP and I were having so much
fun at the reception that we had to be dragged away."
Laura
"We are still getting lots of great comments
about the wedding and Old Glory Ranch. Again, we appreciate
all your help and expertise. it was a wonderful experience
for all of us. Thanks again!"
Pat
"We had the time of our lives at Old
Glory Ranch! It was fun, challenging and the best opportunity to
show off the Texas Hill country, the Texas lifestyle and just bring
our team together. Thank you for everything!"
April Brumley Hinkle, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing,
Texas Monthly
"Matt and I cannot express our thanks
enough. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. The flowers were gorgeous,
the food and cakes were excellent, & the staff was more than helpful.
All of our guests said our wedding was the most beautiful wedding
they had ever been to! Thanks for encouraging me to keep the carriage...everyone
loved it & my pictures turned out great. Thank you for taking the
time to work out every detail...you are brave to work with brides
& moms! Once again we truly thank you for making our day unforgettable!"
Kelli Larsen, Beaumont, Texas
"I just wanted to thank you for everything.
The wedding was a dream. It was more than Greg and I had known to
hope for. It was simply wonderful. Our thanks to you and your staff
for all the effort you put into making this such a wonderful occasion.
We chose Old Glory Ranch because it is such a beautiful place but
because of your hard work the wedding was just as beautiful. We
received so many compliments during the evening and for days after
the wedding. Everyone had a great time including me! Thanks to you
I didn't have to pull my hair out! Thanks for the pictures."
Soliz Comments Wedding & Reception October 27,2001
"We have heard nothing but praises for
the beautiful wedding. Hats off to all of you who helped make it
so beautiful and so special. People cannot stop talking about the
flowers and the food and the cakes and the music and the nice photographer...The
list goes on. We all have such wonderful memories. The bride and
groom are back from their honeymoon, and I am glad to report they
are still enjoying the beautiful memories you helped create at Old
Glory. It does seem like a fairy tale come true."
Womack Wedding & Reception November 17, 2001
"Perfection is a word I don't use lightly.
But I felt that way as we drove from our Rehearsal Dinner at Old
Glory Ranch. We were impressed with how you handle each detail when
we do another event we will certainly have it at Old Glory!!!!!!!!!
You and your staff are to be commended for tending to details and
know what it takes."
Norma Scott (Rehearsal Dinner October 12, 2001)
"Imagine this bowl with a million ThanksÉ..and
then maybe I'm approaching a depiction of how truly thankful I am
for all your efforts associated with this wedding celebration. I
know it will be incredible....thanks to you!"
Kathy
"What can I say, but thank you. We really
want to tell you how much we loved the wedding and how well we felt
it went. You and your incredible staff kept the wedding from being
a disaster. Instead, every bit and every moment (that I can remember!)
was perfect. Thanks to you guys at Old Glory, we had an exciting
and eventful wedding that no one will forget."
Heather and Marc Gitterle (Wimberley)
"Suzanne, thank you for your down-to-earth
unflappability and your rich sense of how to entertain and create
atmosphere. I felt as though all of our loved ones were sort of
taken in by the warmth, beauty and echoes of many precious times
in your house down by the river and throughout the town."
Renee' Starnes (Honomu, Hawaii)
"Verlyn and Dave have received lots of notes
from guests who thought it was one of the best parties they had
attended in Wimberley. The setting was perfect, the decorations
beautiful, and the lights and candles created a magical effect when
the sun went down. Suzanne, you did a fabulous job pulling everything
together, and your attention to detail, friendly staff and willingness
to accommodate our last minute wishes, made the party absolutely
perfect. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful party. You have a
tremendous talent, and we all appreciate the time and energy you
spent to make everything just right. It was certainly a party we
will always remember!"

thank you for all your and your staff's extraordinary efforts to
contribute to the joy of our son's wedding. Your work was perfect!

to our party's comfort and pleasure with unusually kind thoughtfulness,
and all aspects of the wedding and reception were handled smoothly
and professionally. We will always treasure our memories of Old
Glory Ranch and of working with you."
