Thank you for the incredible everything leading up to and on the day of our wedding. We could not have enjoyed the days more and treasure the memories we made at Barndiva. You and your staff exceeded any expectations we may have had- and I know you went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Thank you for the small and significant things you did to show your love. We cannot thank you enough- holding you in a special place in our hearts.

Dear Jil,
News Flash! Apparently wedded bliss makes you lose track of significant slabs of time. It just dawned on us that those most responsible for helping us with our wedding have yet to receive a note. The first time we experienced Barndiva was on our initial 'wedding site' scouting expedition. We fell in love with the energy of your restaurant during this trip and were so pleased that we were able to have our event there. The meal was outstanding and the wine was perfectly paired. We appreciate your attention to detail and flexibility to ensure that we were taken care of. I must tell you that the glass of champagne you handed me upon arrival was a godsend! Our best to you and your family,
Lynn and Lew
Dear Lukka,
Most important to me in life is making Claudia's life full of happiness. Thank you for helping make her wedding day the most perfect event. Thank you for all the time, effort and assistance beyond Barndiva...You made it all work so beautifully and have given so many of us very special memories. I look forward to returning to Healdsburg and Barndiva.
With great thanks and gratitude Susan (mother of the bride)
Dear Jil,
As hosts of a post wedding breakfast/brunch in your back garden for our son, his new wife, and our respective families, we wanted to express to you and the Barndiva Staff our very special thanks for your wonderful service on our behalf. We were simply delighted with your brunch presentation and superb staff. Sincerely, the setting, food and service exceeded our highest expectations. My wife and I, who can be insufferably persnickety about aesthetic details, were exceedingly happy with the success of the event.
Very Sincerely, John and Lynda
Dear Jil,
Just a quick thanks for meeting with us last month and making us all feel so very comfortable with our rehearsal dinner plans. Barndiva represents so much of what Andres and I love about Northern California and want to share with our guests, a slew of die hard New Yorkers and Houstonites. We can't wait!
Best, Melissa
Hi Lukka,
Just a quick note to say thanks ever so much for everything last weekend. We had an absolutely incredible time. Saturday at Barndiva was just fabulous and Sunday at Iron Horse was a perfect complement. You did an amazing job throughout. Please pass our thanks to the rest of the Barndiva crew. Good luck with upcoming weddings in November. We hope to see you up in Healdsburg again very soon!
Thanks ever so much, Julia & Matt
Lukka,
It was such a joy to have not only found somewhere as beautiful as Barndiva to get married but to also have met and gotten to know you. We consider you a friend and an amazingly beautiful person ~ thank you for everything ~ I don't even know where to begin...your hospitality, the champagne, everything about Barndiva, marrying us...the list goes on.
♥ Debbie & Albert
