"Dear Craig - As I mentioned on Wednesday May 7th, my attendees were completely overwhelmed with the property. It's physical splendor, the attentiveness of the entire staff and the weather were all contributors to what many of my member called "one of our best ever!" I cannot say enough great things about the entire banquet staff who made our closing event at the Markham Winery one of - if not THE - most memorable closing banquets we have experienced!"

"Dear Mr. Candland - Our association recently had our annual spring meeting at your resort. There were approximately 147 people attending. I was responsible for this meeting, and everyone at Silverado made my job easy. I heard numerous compliments about the facility and, more importantly, about the kindness and wonderful attitude of all the Silverado people involved. All of the people attending this meeting make their living by evaluating how other businesses are run. I can tell you by my observation as well as by the glowing comments I received, Silverado came across as professional and extremely competent. You have a great group of people for which I am sure you are very proud. Again, I just want to thank your fine staff for all the hard work and attention they provided us during our meeting. They made it look so easy, but I am sure it was not."

Walking into the dinner at Markham will be with us for a long time...Despite the soggy weather conditions, the resort looks great, and it was important for us to see how nice your rooms are. We hope to have a record year with you and ask you to let us know how we can best support you every day."
