Amanda Rivera(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2023 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 Reviewed on 04-10-2023

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!

Carisa Ghannam(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-10-2022 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. Reviewed on 03-11-2022

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.

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.

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.

Michelle Eigner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-08-2019 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!!

Leen Massillon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2019 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. Reviewed on 08-07-2019

Elizabeth Tokarz(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 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. Reviewed on 28-06-2019
Carolyn Allain(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 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!! Reviewed on 16-06-2019
Krista Figueroa(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-03-2019 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.

Diana LaRoe(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-11-2018 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!! Reviewed on 25-01-2019
Lisa B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-12-2018 We got married at The Woodwinds on 12/22/18, and it couldnât have been a more perfect day! 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.

Abigail Puscus(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-10-2018 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.

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. Reviewed on 12-08-2018

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.

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 Reviewed on 11-10-2017

Ever since we booked with Woodwinds, any vendor we have contacted had nothing but good things to say about the exceptional staff. We are very excited to be working with Woodwinds for our wedding. Woodwinds did a fantastic job at our wedding reception. Every person we worked with from booking through the day of our wedding was organized, happy, helpful, and professional. Vanessa and Ken were so easy to contact and willing to meet with us whenever we had any questions. Scott did a great job managing the day and checking in with us to make sure everything was perfect.

Linda Francoletti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2017 From start to finish our experience with the Woodwinds was top notch. During our initial meeting with Carmine, he made us feel so comfortable. All communication leading up to the event was timely and professional. We were given the opportunity to sample some of the food at Cafe' Allegre prior to selecting meals for the wedding. The grounds were impeccably manicured, and the planting selections were simply beautiful. The evening went absolutely PERFECT. Perfect food, perfect drinks, and perfectly happy (and full) guests! A special bit of recognition needs to go to Scott, the wedding planner. He truly knows this business, and goes out of his way to meet any special needs you may have. It is so clear that he loves what he does, and puts his heart into every event. We were so pleased to be able to have our wedding at the Woodwinds. Reviewed on 01-10-2017

Hannah Hatch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-11-2018 The first venue my fiance and I went to tour was Woodwinds. We met with Vanessa and were really blown away. She made the experience enjoyable and showed us everything the venue had to offer without making us feel obligated to make a decision right away. We looked at other venues but it did not take us long to call Vanessa back to book Woodwinds. When we met with her to set the date and go over the contract, she really went over every option to make sure we were getting everything we wanted. The booking process was fun and easy. I cannot wait for our wedding next October. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Reviewed on 29-09-2017
