Testimonials

"As far as we know, Madison simply does not have any other facility like Forrestal's-intimate, warm, beautiful setting.  We received many very favorable comments from our guests on the wonderful food and cake, our hand-selected beer favorites and the great intimate atmosphere.  One couple said - it feels like New England in here!"
                              Sherri and Chris Stroebel (September - Wedding Reception)

"Debi was incredibly organized; we were at ease.  We really appreciated her time and effort, organization and creativity, patience and professionalism.  Jim was a very accommodating photographer and was very discrete during the ceremony."
                              Meredith and Eric Carson (September - Wedding Ceremony & Reception)

"From photography to reception clean-up - each element of our wedding day was perfect!  Everyone agrees.  Without Debi's organization and planning expertise, I don't know how we would have pulled it all off.  Guests loved Forrestal's.  It was lovely and romantic.  Each service and product was of top quality!"
                              Michele and Aron Sippola (May - Wedding Ceremony & Reception)

"We loved Forrestal's the first time we toured the facility, but what really won us over was the knowledge that Debi would be organized, friendly, RELIABLE and that she would enable us to be relaxed for our wedding and have the peace of mind that everything would run smoothly.  Our guests commented numerous times about how quaint the house was, how nice it was to have a choice of rooms to hang out in, and how warm an atmosphere the Greenhouse had for dinners.  Forrestal's truly made our wedding more memorable than we had imaged it could be.  A friend told us that out of the seven weddings he'd been to in 2000, ours was the best!"

"At first glance, Adam and I knew this was a special place.  Everybody loved it and the owner/manager were fantastic.  Each room has such charm.  Forrestal's really gives you an intimate feeling."
                              Carolina and Adam Turba (October - Wedding Reception)

"Atmosphere - this was definitely the most important reason we decided to select Forrestal's.  We wanted something unique and classy; all other aspects (menus, bar service, waitstaff/bartenders, planning, price, privacy, quality of food) were great.  We appreciated all the help from Debi with planning - it was so nice to know that she was doing all the coordinating of caterer, band, etc."

"Our wedding reception by far exceeded our expectations; the place, the food, everything was perfect!"
                              Joanna and Joel Hinsey (August - Wedding Reception)

"We chose Forrestal's because we felt the ambience would be perfect, but we were also extremely impressed by the party planning by the owners.  It made everything stress-free so we could enjoy the evening.  Everyone loved the place and thought the food was superb.  Thanks for making the planning easy.  We have wonderful memories because you took care of the details and we had no worries.  I wish we could do it again every year!"

"Forrestal's is so warm and charming compared to banquet rooms that are cold and plain.  The facility has so much character-very little "extra" decorating needed.  The woodwork in the bar, the plants in the Greenhouse and the fireplace in the Hearth Room make for a unique look-three different environments for the price of one!  Debi and Jim (photography) were both wonderful to work with.  We were very pleased with our wedding portraits.  Jim did an excellent job under some difficult situations.  We were
amazed
at how fast we could view our portraits and at how fast the album was done!  The album is beautiful-we love the varied openings.  Our album is very interesting compared to others we've seen.
                              Marcie and Gary Clauss-Germann (March - Wedding Reception)

"We had tons of comments from our guests about the atmosphere; no one could believe that such a place exists.  We were astounded at how excellent the food was and received rave reviews from our guests."

"Casual elegance.  We like downtown Middleton.  Cocktail party with a wedding-great!  Don't change anything."
                              Jon and Barb DiPiazza (September - Wedding Ceremony & Reception)

"Forrestal's is a beautiful site - guests can't help but enjoy themselves in your incredible facility!  Having the dance floor and bar area separate is wonderful for guests who prefer to talk without shouting as others enjoy themselves dancing.  The staff made us feel like we could ask them for anything - they enthusiastically catered to our every need!  We received a very good value for our money and we couldn't have been happier with Forrestal's.  Debi is the nicest person in the wedding industry and she has a very big heart!  She made us feel unique and special and it was evident that she really cared about our wedding day."
                              Wendy and Ben Seffrood (August - Wedding Ceremony & Reception)

"We knew exactly what we wanted-we chose Forrestal's since the caterer and photographer we wanted worked out of there.  We took into account the privacy factor since we wanted a small party with many guests from out of town to feel comfortable.  Your location is very easy for out of town guests to find-parking is also a big plus.  We appreciated that Debi contacted the DJ, florist and caterer before the reception as a follow up.  All set up of placecards, etc. was done to our directions.  Everything looked great!  We used Jim Forrestal for photography since we had seen excellent work of his in the past.  Very professional; reliable, pleased with results.  A true pleasure to work with."
