We are so thrilled with our experience at your retreat center. Having the sound equipment we needed ON-SITE was a huge blessing. The women enjoyed the meals.
Amy (Ladies Retreat)
Our pool Party was yet again a great success! A new family (who was recently referred to us and brand new to our events) had commented about she liked how the lifeguards calmly interacted with the kids. She also said they were ‘laid back, but attentive’. Please thank them for us for yet again doing another fabulous job. Our families did appreciate this. We did hear MANY positive comments about how ‘beautiful’, ‘great’ and/or ‘relaxing’ facility Bongiorno is.

Our stay was very pleasant. The office had all our keys and paperwork ready by the time our group started to arrive. Maintenance came immediately when one person lost her key and needed to get ready for a wedding. The key was later found and our sewer made it to the wedding on time. We also had great meals – the highlight being the turkey dinner Sat. night. Great job.

To George and the staff, Thank you so much for the chance to get away for a few days and work on my relationship with God. The facilities were excellent. It was so nice to have a kitchenette. Everything was a blessing. May God richly bless you for all you do here. Many adults and children will go from here knowing Him better. Keep up the great work.

Patsy
The Girls Volleyball banquet was a huge success! Everyone was so professional and very helpful throughout the entire planning process. The room looked great and worked out perfectly for family photos in front of the fireplace. The Chef and his staff were amazing! They were constantly checking on us and asking if we needed help. Two of their guys even helped me carry items in from my vehicle and another server helped us to decorate the tables. The food was delicious! We had many compliments on how great everything looked and tasted. The Chef was very helpful in selecting our menu for this event, too. I’m sure we will be back next year! I know many people did not realize this was available for other events, so I hope to bring you more business too! Thanks for making this event stress free and very special for us.
