“I first want to express my deepest appreciation for your assistance with planning our Annual Planning meeting which we held at Oak Hill on November 6th. This was the first event The Financial Resource Group had at the opportunity to hold at Oak Hill and I’m sure from the feedback I’ve received it will not be the last.
I must tell you everyone was extremely happy. The room was perfect, very conducive to paying attention…no outside distractions. The staff assigned to us was very attentive and the food service was wonderful.”
Thank you again,
Susan Songer
The Financial Resource Group
“Thanks to you and Oak Hill Mansion for hosting the Chamber’s Business After Hours and Table Top Displays on May 14, 2003. A lot of compliments were received from the Chamber staff and our guests about your lovely facility and the wonderful evening. The food was delicious and the exhibitors were pleased with the set-up.
We look forward to coming back next year.”
Best regards,

“I know I personally thanked you last Friday for the top quality job you and your staff did in organizing, preparing, and carrying out a successful and memorable 55th annual holiday party for our associates, but I felt compelled to put my words in writing as well.
I want to compliment you, not only for the most important thing of all, the quality of food, which I think was excellent and everyone enjoyed, but the ambiance of your facility, which is perfect for an office party.
As I mentioned to you, we like to schedule our office party at Oak Hill Mansion well into the future an look forward to celebrating in five years our 60th year in business at Oak Hill Mansion.”
Sincerely,

“Congratulations and thanks to you and your staff for a terrific job on our luncheon yesterday. The room looked great, the service was exceptional, the food delicious and the program set up professional. I can’t tell you the number of positive comments we received, both from members who’ve attended events at The Mansion in and new members who were experiencing their first Chamber luncheon. What a positive first impression.
In the midst of the political mayhem, we were very pleased to be able to provide a professional, educational (not to mention civil) forum for our members. The Mansion played a huge role in that, and we recognize the amount of time and effort you and your staff expended on our behalf.
We’re looking forward to working together on our fall event.”
Regards,
Maureen Merhoff, President

“Jason & I are still getting great feedback from our New Issue Reception at the Mansion. We can’t thank you enough for everything. And–you rock for turning that beautiful white mansion into “the” place to host an event in this town!! You guys amaze me…and I am so proud and honored to have the opportunity to work together.”

“I just wanted to let you know that our group enjoyed their party at the Oak Hill Mansion Sunday evening. The food that was complimented the most was the prime rib. It was excellent and the server was very accommodating. He offered to cook the meat in the au jus for those who the meat was a little too rare for. They loved him.
The room was spacious and beautiful. Your servers were very gracious — they were attentive without being intrusive. Our thanks to you and your staff for making it a very enjoyable evening.
Again, thanks for all of your help.”

“As one of the parents who had the pleasure of indirectly working with you on the Taste of Carmel event, I want to thank you for all that you did to make the evening of February 19, 2004 a great success for our school. The dining room looked elegant and inviting and the bartender and staff were friendly, efficient and discreet.
I hope the evening will bring you additional business as our guests remember the beautiful space and excellent service you provided when considering a site for a special occasion. I know that I will remember the magical, glowing and elegant atmosphere of Oak Hill Mansion and the great service as well as your generous gift of space and time to Orchard Park School.”

“I want to thank you on behalf of Assistance League of Indianapolis for your gracious hosting of our December 4th luncheon. You were so helpful in offering suggestions for the menu and setting up the ballroom to accommodate our auction and fashion show with 34 tables for our luncheon.
The wait staff was friendly and efficient. Demond Scott, the banquet manager, went out of his way to make sure it everything ran smoothly. He was always right there to answer questions or make suggestions.
The foyer of the mansion was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. The fires in the fireplaces lent a welcomed warmth. The Christmas trees with their sparkling white lights added to the festive atmosphere of the ballroom. You did an excellent job creating a holiday mood throughout.
I have received many positive comments about having this event at Oak Hill Mansion. Therefore, I am recommending that the Board vote at their January meeting to have our December 2004 Holiday event at Oak Hill Mansion.”
Yours truly,
Karen Morse, Event Chairman
Assistance League of Indianapolis
“The lines on your evaluation form were too small for me to fully express our gratitude and praises for the recent catering event at Zionsville Presbyterian Church. As you well know, this was the first major event we have ever catered at our church and the entire process, although harrowing at times due to late registrants, were never out of control due to your firm’s organization and experience. You took a monumental task and turned it into one of the most memorable events in our church’s history. We all know that the Lord was driving the process but you handled the practicalities of the situation beautifully.
From the time the original quotes came back from the caterers, we knew we had a winner with The Mansion at Oak Hill. Of the five caterers solicited for bids, you were the only group who fully met our needs on every count. That attention to detail served extraordinarily well on the weekend when our actual numbers on Friday went up substantially over the “final numbers” we turned in on Monday.
During the weekend itself, I was completely at ease with the way in which your staff handled the event. When our custodial staff set 608 places and we had 580 place settings, your staff, working for the Lord, supplemented and all 608 places were set., Thank you so much for handling each crisis and finding wonderful solutions.
We will be hosting this event again next year and your professionalism, quality of food and service and general demeanor have made my job much easier. I will not need to interview caterers because we already have a relationship with the best in town.
Thank you a gain for a most excellent job. We truly appreciate it and God Bless.”
Sincerely,
Jerry McMahan
Zionsville Presbyterian Church
