Dear Danrae,
Our wedding was perfect! When Brian and I got engaged, we did not have the first idea about planning a wedding. So we started out with a list of the things most important to us. On our priority list, we had 1. great photos…I am crazy about my photo collection, and knew that great photos would be a top priority 2. family…being able to enjoy our family & spend time together (not just a couple of whirlwind hours) 3. beautiful setting…we wanted a place that was scenic & relaxing; a low stress wedding was really important to both of us 4. affordable…we paid for the wedding ourselves, and couldn't afford an overly lavish event, but still wanted to host a great party for our family & friends.
We originally found you on the internet, about a year before our wedding. Because things aren't always as they appear online, we immediately made the trip to Asheville . We were so excited to see that Sleepy Hollow is just as charming & full of character as it appears on your website. The grounds and house are all very well maintained and beautifully decorated. The weekend of our wedding could not have been more relaxing. I heard so many stories from other people about stressful weddings, but ours was a delight…Thanks to all of your hard work & planning. You had an overall schedule in mind, but you were accommodating & flexible to our special requests. Our families were able to stay in the main house, relax & visit with one another. The rehearsal dinner was booked from your recommendation, and could not have been more delicious. The groom's cake was outstanding (and inexpensive!) The reception meal was outstanding. Every detail was attended to, and the entire weekend transitioned smoothly!!
If there were any pre-wedding problems, I did not know about them. I was able to get ready for the wedding in a spacious, comfortable setting in the carriage house, with all my girls with me. The boys were able to hang out & get ready together in the main house. It was relaxing and fun for all of us. The entire wedding was seamless, and everything fell into place.
Since we were from out of town, and I was nervous about all of the plans coming together, I probably drove you crazy with emails over the course of the ‘planning' year before the wedding. You were always quick to respond with helpful information, and patiently put my mind at ease. The wedding packages you have created are well thought out, and the vendors that you suggest all work together perfectly! I could not have chosen better people…In fact, the only minor issues we had were with the florist, and that is my fault for choosing one outside of your recommended list. Everyone was friendly, down to earth, & accommodating. It is evident that you have the wedding experience down to a science!!
The pictures were fantastic!! If a regular picture is worth a thousand words, yours are worth a million. I love the different angles, and photojournalistic style. And there were tons of photos; which is exactly what I wanted! Please feel free to use any of them; we are proud of how nicely they turned out. The cost for our wedding package was reasonable, our families were able to relax & enjoy our wedding for the entire weekend, and we were all in a beautiful setting. A+ to you in meeting all of our criteria, and for all of your hard work and planning to make our wedding perfect!
All Our Best,
Ashlee & Brian Phillips |

Dear Danrae, Sami, and Clayton, I would like
to first start by saying thank you, thank you, thank you
for such a beautiful wedding. It is hard to believe that
you guys have not been doing this for decades. You are
so wonderful at everything that you do. The ceremony,
reception, flowers, cake, pictures, video, and the
overall presentation of our special day was absolutely
first class, not to mention stress-free. Our friends and
family said that our wedding was the best wedding that
they had ever been to. It saddens me to write this
e-mail because I feel like I will no longer have a
reason to browse your website and imagine my wedding
day. All I have left are the wonderful memories which
you all have created and made possible. Thank you for
everything and best of luck to all of you. We will see
you soon. Please do not hesitate to give my information
to potential brides and grooms.
A very special thanks to Sami....You are the best.
Thank you for all of your hard work, warm smile, hugs,
and patience.
As a side note: For any brides and grooms
considering the possibility of hosting their wedding at
Sleepy Hollow, do not hire an outside photographer.
Danrae is a master photographer and will provide you
with an abundance of beautiful photos.
All the best,
Sherrine & Moses Washington Jr. |

Hi Danrae !!
The pictures are BEAUTIFUL !!! Thank you so much ! And
the best part is that Scott's deployment got pushed back
to October 4th (this Tuesday), so he got to see them
before he left ! I can't believe how quickly you got
them out !! I wasn't expecting them for several weeks.
It was so much fun to look at them because I honestly
don't remember many of the shots being taken ! You are
very good at not being obvious with your picture-taking.
We can't thank you enough for everything that you did to
make our wedding weekend such a wonderful experience !
We had a great time and everything looked beautiful. The
decorations were lovely, the cake was gorgeous, the food
was fantastic and all of the people on the staff (Robin,
caterers) were just such a delight. My Dad went home to
the New Orleans area and talked about how wonderful
everything was to a co-worker. His co-worker's son is
planning a wedding at the end of October and the family
is debating over where to have it and who can attend. It
turns out that the groom's grandmother lives 30 miles
outside of Asheville. When my Dad told him how great you
guys were, they said it sounded like the perfect place
for them to have their wedding, so they are supposed to
be giving you a call in the next few days.
Thank you also for sending out copies of the CD to
family members. I was getting ready to make some copies
when Scott's mom told me that she already received one
and has printed out all of the pictures.
Thanks again for everything !
Sincerely,Scott and Nahir Clinton |

All of our guests remarked on how nice things were, and
you met or exceeded all of our expectations. We
appreciate all of your assistance. We were very glad
that we chose Sleepy Hollow for our wedding. Hopefully,
we will make it back sometime in the future.
Thanks again,

Dear Clayton, Danrae, Sami and everyone else,
We have finally caught our breath and settled in from
all the holiday excitement. I wanted to make sure I let
you know what a truly special event you made our
wedding! First, the B&B is lively and all of the care
was greatly appreciated. Second, I feel as though there
was nothing you all would not do to make our weekend
special and for that I am grateful.
The wedding was exactly what we had hoped it would be
and we enjoyed our time up at SHI! We will definitely be
back.
Please feel free to use us a reference for future
weddings - I am already marketing you everywhere! Thanks
again.

Danrae,
We just got back from our honeymoon and viewed the
video. I can't thank you enough for such a beautiful
wedding! The pictures and scenery are amazing. The food
was fantastic and the DJ was top of the line. We are so
grateful to you and your husband for sharing your home
and gorgeous property with us.
I know your wedding business will continue to boom, but
best of luck with your future weddings. We will
definitely be back for our anniversary next year.
See ya then!
