Dear Am Kolel Sanctuary,

Thank you for use of your gorgeous and relaxing site for our wedding. You hit a wonderful balance of being attentive, present and helpful without ever being in the way. It was so special having our closest friends and relatives stay at Sanctuary with us, expanding our ceremony into an intimate weekend-long celebration with loved ones who had traveled long distances to be with us. The various spaces in the house and on the grounds gave us plenty of room for everyone to hang out and spend time relaxing together. Thank you for sharing your sacred place with us. 

Sincerely, Cynthia Marshall
