When I first chose the Woodwinds for our wedding venue, I was extremely pleased and excited to be working with them. Vanessa was our first introduction to the venue, and she was wonderful. However, as the wedding was getting closer, it was adding more and more stress to my experience because they had switched our wedding coordinator several times, and when having to deal with a gentleman named Michael, my family and I felt very rushed by him and like he did not want to be bothered by our questions. They were not accommodating with times, as I work full time and so does my fiancé and had to take off several days of work to fit around their schedule when it should be the other way around. Something else that i felt added to my stress, was the fact that I had to write all my guests and what they wanted to eat and sit on a confusing excel format sheet in addition to table place settings. Just added stress and work that should be their job and not the brides. I read so many amazing reviews of the woodwinds and how they are so accommodating to their guests however unfortunately I felt like I didn't receive that same respected treatment from them. The day of the wedding was fine and went smoothly, however the days leading up to the day was extremely stressful and I felt like they had added to my stress as a bride instead of decreasing it and showing the support I needed.

We had an absolutely amazing time having our wedding at The Woodwinds!! The staff was beyond professional, kind, and made our day a smooth and enjoyable experience! We literally kept saying, âThey have weddings and events down to a science!â â which they do! The entire wedding planning experience to the actual day was incredibly organized and handled with the utmost care Iâm a project manager and details are my thing and it was such a Godsend to be able to relax and fully trust their team to see the details like we do! Michael our event coordinator responded fast and intentionally to our questions and was so on top of it all. He made us feel relaxed in the wedding planning process and truly taken care of. Emily my bridal attendant made my now husband and I feel like celebrities on our wedding day and was so incredibly kind and comforting throughout the entire day Sergio is a master at presentation and was our tour guide throughout the day we got to enjoy our day and he handled every detail and kept watch on our timeline for us. That was such a gift to be able to be fully present on your wedding day and not have to think, âOh the bouquet toss is coming up let me keep an eye on the clockâ The general manager during our rehearsal was so funny and had my entire wedding party laughing and at ease If you are looking to be fully present on your wedding day and have your guests say, âYou had a perfect wedding!â (Which I got multiple texts the next day saying so â the food, open bar, dj setup, everything was on point) then you want to go with The Woodwinds. I toured plenty of venues in Connecticut and itâs truly the best deal youâll find in the entire state.THANK YOU!!!-Amanda & Joe

Woodwinds catered my off-site wedding at Smith Farm Gardens in June - I cannot stress enough how AMAZING they were! Besides the fact that the food was absolutely unreal, Randy and his team went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Our guests are still talking about the delicious food and what a flawless day we had - all thanks to Woodwinds. Randy was our day of coordinator and met with us before the wedding and for the rehearsal to make sure everything went smoothly. The staff is friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. We had everything we needed and wanted on our wedding day with Shea and Emily, our bridal attendants. I cannot recommend Woodwinds enough for the off-site wedding of your dreams!

The food was also spectacular. We keep getting comments from our guests about how delicious the food was! We also loved being able to drop off our decorations before the day of the wedding and how the crew set them up perfectly. Everything they do is professional and perfect. I will be telling everyone to use the Woodwinds!

When you're a kid, you dream outlandish ideas of what your wedding will look like. I never dreamed all those ideas would come to life thanks to the talented people who work at the Woodwinds. I always knew fall would be featured prominently, so when looking for venues, we needed a place surrounded by trees. We had toured 8 venues before we toured The Woodwinds. By chance, we toured the day of a Halloween themed wedding... And I am terrified of clowns. However, that didn't deter us. We fell in love with the place. The setting was nothing short of romantic; big enough to fit all of our loved ones but also small enough to feel intimate. We booked 2 years in advance. Vanessa, Ken, and Michael were constantly keeping me in the loop of timelines and due dates, answering any and all questions I had. Finally, the big day arrives... And it rains. As someone who had one picture in my head of what the ceremony would look like for 2 years, I was a little upset about not being able to use the waterfall outside. However, Sergio came to the rescue and suggested we use the Fireplace Room for our ceremony. I'm so glad he did because it was so beautiful. The day was perfect. Everything went off without a hitch. I barely had to lift a finger thanks to the attention to detail of the entire wait staff and our bridal attendant, Marcella. If you're on the fence about the Woodwinds, I hope this steers you in the right direction. You will feel like royalty.

Where do I even start with my review about WoodWinds? Well, they were the only venue we physically looked at, thatâs how sold we were from the start. Seriously from the first visit until our wedding day, every single person we interacted with at WoodWinds was phenomenal. Vanessa, Ken, Michael, Sergio, truly everybody went above and beyond and it was clear how highly not only they value what they do, but how highly they value you having the day of your dreams. The food was incredible, communication was fantastic every step of the way, last minute changes were never an issue for the staff; they just know what theyâre doing. Everyone I know says how stressful wedding planning is, and I honestly have to say mine wasnât bad because of the wonderful team at WoodWinds. Thank you all so much!!

Carrying my dress around the grounds as we took pictures, held my shoes when I couldn't bare them anymore and brought food to our table at dinner to make sure we ate, I think I told her at one point I was leaving my husband for her! The bartenders were fabulous, I rarely saw a line at the bar, and for the small moments there was one, if they saw me coming my drink was being made and ready for me by the time I got up there. I genuinely can't say enough good things about the entire staff at woodwinds, I wish I wasn't so in love with my husband so I could do it all over again!

My husband and I both cannot think of a moment our drinks got empty or our food plates werenât filled due to the staff being so on top of everything. From start to finish not a single thing went wrong and that was completely due to the staff being absolutely wonderful to us. All our guests, almost a year later, continue to rave about the food and how great it all really was.

Ever since our first visit with you we knew we had picked an incredible place. Our guests couldnât say enough great things about the food and drinks, you know itâs good when people get up for seconds and thirds đ everything was delicious! The bar staff was so friendly and attentive. They did an amazing job making our signature drink! The bridal attendant Kaytlin was so sweet, I had an issue with the bustle of my dress and she got down on the ground and made it work. She went above and beyond all night! Sergio was our maitre d and he was amazing. He kept everything on track and made sure the night went smoothly. Our wedding day was a dream come true thanks to the entire Woodwinds team!

The woodwinds was able to make my dream wedding come to life! Randy was there every step of the way answering endless emails and countless phone calls and he never once was annoyed by it. He loves his job and it shows he takes the time to explain everything and is so helpful with the planning. The woodwinds has wonderful packages we went with one that offered a cake from a local bakery and a Venetian table first off our cake was amazing and our guests raved about the food and the extra desserts. Sergio who is our day of coordinator helped us rehearse and laid out my decor for me the exact way that I wanted it he also helped me to enjoy my wedding by letting me know when things needed to be done (cake cutting, toasts etc). The food was incredible the drinks were great the staff made you feel welcome all around an amazing time had by all.

The Woodwinds exceeded our expectations. They made everything so easy, and walked us through all the steps to prepare for our big day. From our initial tour with Vanessa, beginning our planning with Kenneth, to our final plans with Randy- everything went smoothly. They all made themselves available to us for anything we needed. Every question/request and accommodation was followed through. Sergio was amazing in helping my vision for decor come to life, he listened attentively in our meeting when I dropped off the items I wanted set up for the reception. The day of our wedding everything was executed perfectly, the food, decor and flow of the night was great. Sergio and Kaytlin were with us all night making sure we had everything we needed. All the staff was amazing.

We just had our wedding at Woodwinds on 11.18.21 and Iâm so glad we did! I knew I wanted to have our reception at woodwinds pretty much from the moment we were engaged. I had just heard great things and it seemed like a beautiful place where everything would be taken care of for me on the big day. And thatâs the truth! I didnât have to worry about anything because everything was taken care of. They were so easy to work with and very responsive. The night was so beautiful and my husband and I were well attended to all night. Iâd always heard you never eat at your wedding but when we came back to our table there was so much food on our table it was amazing! And it was all so delicious. I wouldnât recommend anywhere else to have a wedding or celebration. I wish I could relive the night!

They were very disorganized seemed understaffed and overwhelmed. My seating charts were a complete mess and I felt as though I worked at the venue instead of being the groom. Theyâve also promised to not run out of favorite alcohol beverages and it was the complete opposite. Theyâve only given my bride 1 hr to get ready on site and any woman can tell you thatâs not enough to have makeup done and do final touches. It seemed that the wedding next door was interfering with our own which is why I believe thing were so disorganized.I did not feel this venue made our special day worth while. I honestly canât wait to our 5 year anniversary to renew our vows at a different location.

The in-office coordinator was so patient in answering my many questions over the last 2 years of planning (& postponing) and we are so grateful for all of his help and the detailed notes he kept to ensure our wishes were met! Everything was exactly how we dreamed it would be. Our guests loved the food, and it was served so quickly and efficiently! The cake was amazing as well and served in the same manner. The uplighting, the tables, the decor, every little detail was done just as we had planned and discussed. My bridal attendant was amazing, kind and so helpful! She did very well with my difficult bustle and was patient even when I was not. Everyone made sure myself and my groom had not questions or needs at any point. They brought us drinks, etc. We couldnât have asked for a more perfect wedding! My only wish is that it could have lasted longer!

I booked the woodwinds a couple of months after our engagement. After we started touring venues my husband knew this would be the place right away. Fast forward to March of 2020 our big day ended in a reschedule. That too ended in another reschedule, but the woodwinds made the process very pleasant! though we were bummed we knew we were in good hands. When our day finally arrived. Ken kept us up to date and made sure our vision was being carried through all the reschedules! He hit the highâs and Lowâs of our day with such grace I felt safe and ready to enjoy the long awaited day! My day of coordinator Randy was a dream, his time and coordination was impeccable he checked in with me through out the whole night and we also had beauty check ins in between major events within the wedding he made sure I look my best! Caitlyn was my maitre d and she too was very attentive of my husband and I she kept us fed and hydrated in between all the pictures and video takes. She also made sure the wedding party was holding up and that made us feel taken care off! Thereâs a lot I can say about the woodwinds and the amazing job they did for our event! But Iâd like to end this with the feed back we got back from our wedding guest and this has to do with the food! The guest loved the variety offered during the cocktail hour, they also loved being fed hot and flavorful food. The staff that worked our event made our experience a dream and for that I am thankful! I am looking forward to hosting other events at the woodwinds! Mr. & Mrs. Homar 7.3.21

You guys did that! Really Vanessa from our first tour to now you've been the kindest and helpful person. Very reassuring and understanding with the craziness of a pandemic wedding. I knew when we first toured that The Woodwinds was my first choice, and only choice really. It was a small intimate wedding but it felt so full. I am so grateful to you , Randy, Ken and Tony.

We LOVED the Woodwinds!! We had our wedding at the Woodwinds in Feb. '21 and it was spectacular. The ambiance, the food, the setup, the staff, every little detail was top notch. We originally booked the venue, pre-COVID, and were planning to have 300+ attending. When COVID forced us to cut down our headcount, the Woodwinds worked with us to set up a heated tent outside to allow for the maximum number of people to safely gather. The grounds are spectacular, so many great places for photos. The inside of the venue looks extremely chic as well, group shots on the staircase looked amazing! Everyone we dealt with throughout the entire planning process was great. Vanessa gave us the tour and hooked us right in with her bright smile. Ken and Tony helped make us feel very comfortable, even with the uncertainty of a COVID wedding looming in the background. Randy was awesome when we got down to the home stretch and did great running the event the day of. Really cannot say enough good things about this venue. You will not be disappointed choosing to have your special day here.

Where do I begin? WoodWinds was the first place we looked at after getting engaged and we knew right then and there we were going to book there. We venue shopped a bit after our first meeting, just to say we did, but nevertheless we were back in Vanessaâs office signing our contract the next week. For the entire year and a half of planning (during a pandemic nonetheless) Vanessa, Ken, and Randy were responsive, kind, SO FUN, and comforting. Our ceremony in the Garden followed by our reception in the tent went flawlessly, and the lights in the tent and on the trees gave our night a magical vibe. Our guests have not stopped raving about the food, the staff (even mentioning specific waiters names- shoutout to Carlos!), and how smoothly the night went. During our First Looks and throughout the entire night, the staff ensured I had champagne in my hand, my husband had a gin and tonic in his, and we were fed and happy. Randy even fanned me when I started sweating. Joanna, the venueâs Florist, did spectacular work on our arrangements, and was great to work with. When you book with this venue, you immediately feel like a part of the WoodWinds fam. Thank you to WoodWinds for being just the best ever during this entire process.

I feel like thatâs not even the best word to use. My mind was BLOWN after my husband and I had our first bite of cake and there was a damp napkin ready for our faces and a mirror so we could see if we had cake on them. I mean are you KIDDING?????? Thatâs genius! It may seem small to others but I remember saying to him right after how absolutely freaking wonderful everyone is. Neeka is the SH*T. That woman holds a smile and grace and a helping hand when you donât even realize you need her. The entire night was so blissful I could go on and on and on about how absolutely perfect everything turned out. *it wouldnât allow me to change the date of the wedding on the second page of this review but it was 10/25/19. Absolutely incredible!

The Woodwinds is such an amazing place to get married! We had both our ceremony and reception there. When we met with Vanessa to tour the venue and talk about everything they had, we were sold. She is so awesome! She is such a nice and friendly person that could not be more excited to share everything they have at the woodwinds. We chose the Renaissance 3 package and oh.my.gosh. So much delicious food!!! Our friends and family could not stop talking about how amazing the food was! Not just the dinners...but also their many appetizers! OH and I cannot forget the amazingly delicious venetian table!! If you don't know what that is.. it's a huge buffet of desserts! It was extra for my package but SO WORTH IT. Randy and Ken were awesome and made the night go smoothly! My bridal attendants were amazing as well and made she we got food and drinks and everything went well. We are so happy with everything with all of The Woodwinds staff! We can not thank them enough!!

The whole staff at Woodwinds is fantastic! Ken answered all of our questions promptly and enthusiastically. We made changes up to the day before the wedding, brought in decor and favors last minute, and Ken was kind and patient through all of it. Our wedding day was great and went too quickly. My bridal attendant, Daleska, was extremely helpful. She fixed my dress, refilled my drinks, and more, all without me asking. She was more helpful than my bridesmaids and I am very grateful. Randy, our coordinator, made the whole wedding go smoothly. The food was great. The service was impeccable. I cannot say enough good things. The day after the wedding, they had all of the decor packed up and about 10 trays of food. I'm only upset that there weren't any appetizers included in the leftovers because I was having too much fun to eat any.

The Woodwinds is in high demand for good reason! We had our ceremony in a New Haven church in the afternoon and our reception at the Woodwinds in the evening. The Woodwinds staff works with weddings often and their knowledge is evident in how they run the event. Their foresight came in handy throughout the night, and it was really great to be able to trust them so we could enjoy mingling with our guests. Before the night arrived, we found that the Woodwinds offered a great value package compared to other local venue spaces. Our guests all had a great time in this space--the cocktail hour especially was a hit. We would highly recommend you look into the Woodwinds.

Woodwinds was PERFECT!! When we first toured the venue, we loved how classy the facility was and their beautiful outdoor grounds/ceremony locations. Vanessa was a lovely host and made us so excited about the venue! Woodwinds was the last venue that we toured because we were sold! This venue is timeless and the food is excellent! I had guests raving about the different appetizers and our Venetian table!!I cannot imagine what other venues must be like since they don't have Randy or Ken in their office--both of these men went above and beyond for us! I think I sent Ken at least 40 emails leading up to our wedding date but he was always so pleasant, and answered every question quickly! He made every bit of the planning process SO much easier. Randy was an expert on our wedding day; he took care of everything and made sure that we hadn't a care in the world! I don't know how I could have pulled off a wedding ceremony and reception if I didn't have someone like Randy to organize everything. Randy makes sure that your wedding day is fun instead of stressful and he absolutely is responsible for our wedding going off without a hitch!Despite all of the wonderful things I can say about Woodwinds, we are undoubtedly most grateful to Neka!! I am not kidding when I say she is a pro and a saint. When I arrived at the venue before our ceremony, I was rattled and stressed not knowing the status of everyone/everything. Neka entered the scene and I can honestly say that I IMMEDIATELY felt relieved. She updated me on where the cake was, where the groomsmen were, brought our flowers to us, pinned all of the boutonnieres, and made sure everyone was prepared and lined up for the ceremony. Neka adjusted my dress and train before my procession and at the altar so I looked flawless. She carried my dress around during photos, put drinks in our hands, and even bustled my dress so that my mother could enjoy cocktail hour! She took care of us throughout the reception and it was such a blessing having a bridal attendant that was looking out for us and making sure we were comfortable. She is seriously a fairy godmother!!We booked Woodwinds because we loved the environment, but I would recommend Woodwinds because they are professionals who will do anything and everything for you. Our wedding was perfect thanks to everyone at Woodwinds!!

We recently got married at this location on March 23. Vanessa was amazing from the start up until the very end. We received many compliments on the food, and the venue itself looked beautiful. Also Neka the bridal assistant was amazing, she knew exactly what she was doing and helped out in so many ways. I am so happy she was there it took some of the stress off me. The only negative was that they tell you, you can take home food for those that dont attend. For me this was really important due to one of my family members was in the hospital. They have no way of tracking who does not attend the wedding even with all the paperwork you have to turn in stating who sits where, and the food options. So despite being assured multiple times before hand that we would get the food, we never did because everything was sent out. Even for those who did not attend. After a few emails I finally spoke with Vanessa, who I understand couldn't compensate for all meals for those that didn't come, but was able to find a way to help me give my family member a little experience of the wedding that she missed.

I cannot say enough about The Woodwinds and its staff!! From start to finish, this team was nothing but amazing!! They handled every call, email and question I had with enthusiasm, they accommodated every unexpected change we needed at the end of the process with last minute RSVP cancellations, they were extremely diligent in making sure the presence of any food my husband was allergic to was completely non-existent and the day of the wedding they truly went above and beyond. The food was amazing and the cost was very reasonable. We had an unexpected blizzard which caused a few glitches that caused the wedding to start about 45 minutes late and I was beginning to stress out. My Bridal Attendant, Neka, was PHENOMENAL!! Anything I needed, she was on it. There were times we even felt like she might be a mind reader because she would get us things before we even asked for them! Something we needed for the ceremony was accidentally left at the hotel 5 minutes away from the venue but with the surprise blizzard it became a 30 minute drive there and back so seeing I was stressed out, she went and spoke with the wedding coordinator. 2 minutes later she returned to me with a mini snowman in a tin container. They had a mini snowball fight outside while making me a snowman to try to make me laugh. After the ceremony with all of the ups and downs of my emotions, I was feeling a little nauseated so she got me ginger-ale to help settle my stomach. We were doing our rounds greeting and thanking all our guests at the time and she even brought it up to me with a straw so I can get some in my system immediately. There is so much more that she did that I can share but it is just too much to make someone read. Haha. Randy, the wedding coordinator, was amazing as well. He made sure the everything went smoothly, was extremely friendly and on top of everything. Iâm not positive but I believe the snowman might have even been his idea when Neka went to talk to him to try and figure out a way to help relax me. I would truly send everyone I know their way when looking for a wedding venue!! This night was so special for us and they helped in making it that way!!

First, they were so responsive to all of our phone calls and emails throughout the year and a half of our planning process. When I just couldnât decide on centerpieces, I called the main office and Kristy put me in touch with their in-house florist, Joanna. I sent her a few photos of some ideas that I liked and she managed to incorporate everything that I wanted! Ken was also totally accommodating when we made several changes to our guest list and seating chart in the week leading up to our wedding due to last minute cancellations.As for the day of the wedding, the entire staff was amazing! Randy and Neka were on top of everything. Neka even swapped out the pens for our guestbook to ones that would work better on canvas before we had a chance to ask, and she showed up at our table with cough drops for me because she noticed I was getting over a cold.Weâve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was, thanks in large part to the wonderful holiday decorations; how great the food was--from cocktail hour and dinner to our late-night donut bar; and how wonderful the wait staff and bartenders were. It all made for such a magical day.

The Woodwinds were very detailed and attentive throughout the entire process. I couldn't speak higher of the staff and service we received the day of. We had an amazing day. The only reason I am giving a 4/5 is because there was a another wedding going on the day of our wedding on the other side of the venue. However, the ceremonies were taking place in the same spot. Either the first wedding (ours was the second of the day) was running behind schedule, or there was an issue with/lack of planning on the Woodwinds part, because our guests started arriving before the first wedding was even over, and our guests thought they missed our wedding! This was very stressful, as we were told when we booked our wedding that ours was the only one booked at the time for that day, and should there be a second wedding, the other couple would have to work around our schedule. This was clearly not the case. The first wedding went until at least 5:10 pm, and we were told that our guests could arrive as early as 5 pm for our 5:30 pm ceremony time. I would recommend verifying with the Woodwinds if there will be another ceremony taking place on the same day, so you can verify the times of the second wedding, and give yourself enough of a time cushion should the first wedding be running behind, and your wedding is the second of the day.

AMAZING! From start to finish, Woodwinds was perfect. From our first meeting with Vanessa to our wedding day last Sunday everything was smooth as silk. Ken made the planning process super easy and was always prompt with answers to any questions we might have had. They have the best staff of any venue we have ever been to, everyone was unbelievably helpful. Randy made our wedding day go exactly as planned. we honestly could not have asked for a more perfect day! Nika our bridal attendant was always there to take care of anything we could possibly think of, as well as spoiling our bridal party with drinks and appetizers during our pictures. We had our ceremony by the waterfall and it was perfect. the food was amazing, our guests had nothing but good things to say about the staff and food.

I only researched other vendors because I didn't want guests to think I was just recreating my sister's wedding for myself. But from the minute we left our tour visit with Vanessa we knew we'd get married at The Woodwinds just as my sister did 4 years ago. Everything was above and beyond from the beginning. They were the only vendor we would've felt horrible saying \"we've decided to go with someone else\" to, mostly because they were extremely helpful, genuinely caring, and very accommodating. It certainly helped that we had already experienced a great wedding as guests! Pricing was well worth what you get and they made payments easy. I thought I had odd requests during drop off but Randy didn't bat an eye, nothing affected him and he made me feel like I wasn't as crazy as I sounded to myself. I truly can't put into words how magical our wedding night was. It was over 90 degrees, and we got married by the waterfall and had our reception in the beautiful garden room. My bridal attendant, Kim, fanned me while wearing long sleeves and long pants under the hot sun! Staff was waiting for us after the ceremony with cold towels, water, and appetizers. Kim made sure I didn't want for anything all night. She took my husband's tux jacket to clean a stain he didn't even notice. If my bridesmaids tried to help, she sent them away to enjoy themselves only after making sure they were taken care of as well. My guests haven't stopped raving about the delicious food, the phenomenal service, and the gorgeous grounds. We were all made to feel like royalty by Woodwinds. This was a wedding that won't soon be forgotten and a venue that should be number 1 on everyone's list.

Let me start off by WOW. From the first day we met with the Woodwinds (Vanessa who is a pleasure)for our wedding planning ( we knew right away they were our choice) organizing, communication on things my fiance and I had no clue about, Vanessa and Ken were 5 star with helping us all the way up to our special day. The service was incredible the day of, I had my own assistant thank goodness, that helped me be able to enjoy all the hard work we invested into the day. My fiance had his own as well. Any detail, or whoops, or time adjustment in the day, Woodwinds knew how to smooth the wrinkles out. The food, AMAZING, although as a bride it was hard to eat, but every single person can't stop complimenting the food. lastly, being very detailed, and a control freak to wanting everything to look just right, after meeting up a few days before the wedding to drop off: favors, and gifts, Ken gave my maid of honor and myself permission to come the morning day of the wedding to make sure everything was set up and right. I SHOULD HAVE NOT EVEN WENT!! They had everything set up, to a T, where i just walked in and started crying at how perfect everything looked and how they set up for me. The stress blew out the window, and my excitement for the day took over. THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of WoodWinds staff for helping making Devon and my day an incredible day to never forget. You all rock!

My husband and I got married on 7.27 in the Garden Room. The outside ceremony space was gorgeous and intimate. Our guests are still raving about the food! They couldn't believe how good everything was! Randy and Ana were absolutely wonderful. They made our evening stress-free. They transitioned from visible to invisible as need be. Ana kept our drinks/food coming the entire night! She even quickly and quietly dealt with a few guests from the other room who crashed our buffet. I am still in shock over how much was included in the price. Woodwinds' price was EXTREMELY reasonable even during the peak wedding season. The amount of attention to detail was fantastic. Clearly the staff has it down to a well oiled machine! More importantly the QUALITY of the venue, food, beverages, services, etc. was impeccable. This is hands down the best value for your money! Overall our family and friends were extremely impressed with Woodwinds! I can't wait to have another reason to go back!

At the end of the night, the staff had everything boxed and ready to go so we didnât have to worry about anything! First and only place you need to look for your next venue for any event!

Michael and I are extremely satisfied and content with the Woodwinds for our wedding on 9/30/17. The timely,attentive responses to emails loaded with questions were noteably impeccable and we found the venue to be very flexible and accommodating to our needs. Communication is key with planning a wedding, especially from across the country in California. We appreciate how smoothly rehearsal was, Scottâs attention to detail and overall professionalism, and more importantly the staff on site were definitely paying attention to refilling our guests water glasses. As a former caterer, I noticed the little details and am happy to return for future events. Thanks again! Xo

The woodwinds is a beautiful place from the elaborate fountain out front to the lavish gardens and waterfall in the back. It is perfectly situated in every way. My fiancé and I knew we wanted to book our reception here as soon as we took our tour. Vanessa has been very helpful in making our upcoming day both elegant and affordable which we really appreciate. Having been to weddings in the past, I know what a great job the Woodwinds does and how delicious their food is. Chef Silvio's Sunday Sauce is a must!! Upon visiting Woodwinds for our tour we were given a jar along with a box of pasta, a really nice touch if you ask me. I couldn't be happier on our decision and have no doubt my wedding will be \"The Wedding\" to be at.

My fiancĂ© and I want a small intimate wedding, and finding a venue for a party of 100 or less limits options. Most venues require a high minimum count. Woodwinds however, can accommodate both the small and the large wedding. The mangers of the venue and owners have great attention to detail. You'll notice that the grounds are very well maintained, the interior and exterior of the building are in excellent condition, and paint and carpets are maintained. All things one would expect of every establishment, but something we didn't find after touring several. You'll also notice that the quality and attentiveness of employees and organizers is top notch. Most have been with Woodwinds for years; a very good sign. In addition to all this, the price was competitive. We also appreciated them quoting a single figure that included tax and gratuity so there were no hidden fees we didnât expect. Booking Woodwinds was an easy decision for us and we couldnât be happier!
