Columbia Woodlands

or clean up and got to spend time with my loved ones! The chef was able to come with with a custom menu for my fiancé and I and the food was the best I have ever had! Seriously book here if you want your dream wedding!

g weekend it made the whole experience amazing our friends and families were about to drive around on the golf cart and relax and have fun! Zoe the wedding planner did such an amazing job and took care of everything for me so I as able to have a relaxing and fun wedding day without all the stress of being a bride. Best day ever!!

pictures on the property were stunning partially because my talented photographer, but also because it's a genuinely beautiful place. We rented out 7 of the 8 locations on the property for the wedding weekend and it really added to the experience. Our whole family and closest friends got to have a shared experience, and that is truly a once and a lifetime experience. And it is a remote, gorgeous place to a have my 100-person intimate wedding. The Spring House and patio is the perfect rustic outdoor venue, but what really sold it as a wedding location for me was the ceremony pavilion. The pavilion has the same rustic feel as the Spring House, but it's open to a small babbling brook and the sounds of nature. The pavilion really protects your wedding day. Rain or blistering sun will not have the opportunity to ruin an outdoor wedding at Columbia Woodlands. While the location speaks for itself, what really makes CW worthwhile is the wonderful and helpful staff. Each and every staff member was completely genuine in their excitement for the wedding and was endlessly helpful. Alina from guest services and the wedding coordinators Kari and Zoe made the weekend a success all around. I asked a lot of them and they really delivered. You will not be disappointed booking your wedding at Columbia Woodlands. I look forward to returning for many anniversaries to come. It's a place close to my heart.

dding we envisioned. The wait staff the day of our wedding was amazing. They set aside cocktail hour food for my husband and I, they constantly asked us if we needed a drink and they helped us set up and pack things up at the end of the night. The food was amazing. We had so many compliments on the food served. We did beef short ribs, tuscan chicken, risotto, green beans and glazed carrots. I couldn't be happier with the food. The service to the bridal suite was also great. We had quite the handful of struggles with this venue. It took me a while to even consider writing a review, but I do feel as much money goes into the venue, you should be aware of what may happen, or at least what happened to us. To be transparent, we spent $27,000 on the venue alone. Not including outside vendors. To begin, I had been in contact with their wedding coordinator to do a tour. We showed up on our tour to find out our coordinator we had been in contact with quit that day. We were showed around by this sweet lady who worked at the office and she truly did her best to answer questions. We met the bar manager and chef, they both did great at answering questions. We came back a second time because we fell in love with the venue and were greeted with a new coordinator. We did a majority of our planning with her, and she was amazing!! To my surprise, closer to our wedding, she quit. The venue never said anything to the brides about this. I found out from another CW bride who was getting married soon. Around the same time, I had found out the bar manager and chef we originally met quit or were fired also. We had already signed our deposit so this worried us. Our third coordinator with the venue, Brittany did the absolute best she could give the new weddings she was thrown into. She truly did the best she could. We did a tasting with a new chef (second we had met), and had our menu mostly figured out. Shortly after, she was fired/quit. We were months away from our wedding and now had our THIRD coordinator, THIRD chef and a SECOND bar manager. We had roughly 16 months from when we signed out contract to when we got married. Now we are on our third chef, and a new menu planning. He was amazing and gave us such a relief for the stressors the venue was causing us, and his food was a huge highlight of our wedding. We chose to have the venue buy our alcohol rather than a full bar. When we signed our contract, the full bar option was $65/pp putting us at $13,000 for a full bar. Our second coordinator told us having the venue order the alcohol would be cheaper, so we did that instead. Our third coordinator had the bar manager do our purchasing numbers for alcohol, making it more affordable around $5,000. After we completely paid the venue off a month prior to the wedding, I get a phone call stating we bought wayyyy to much alcohol. With all of the numbers given to us BY THE BAR MANAGER. This was CW ordering the alcohol we needed, and then us reimbursing. After complaining we ordered what they told us, they said there was no option for us, no refund, no taking the alcohol at the end of the night. Overall, our wedding was beautiful. But if I were to do it again, it would NOT be at this venue. The hassle we went through for the $27,000 we spent, was unprofessional and not worth it.
