Corkscrew Weddings & Winery was the perfect venue for our wedding in Estero —truly beyond anything we could have imagined. We wanted a ceremony and reception all in one place, with...
a spacious, elegant estate feel that could lean into a garden-gala, luxury black-tie vibe, and this venue delivered all of that and more. It didn’t just meet our expectations—it surpassed every dream we had.
I visited so many venues before finding Corkscrew, and none of them checked all the boxes. This one did effortlessly. It is a true hidden gem that is finally getting the recognition it deserves. The property is stunning, the flow of the space is perfect for a seamless wedding day, and the atmosphere feels intimate, elevated, and timeless all at once!
Beyond the venue itself, the people are what made this experience exceptional. The entire team was so accommodating throughout the planning process, but I truly cannot say enough about Ashley, our planner and day-of coordinator, and Debra, the venue coordinator. They were exactly who I needed to have a calm, seamless, and joyful wedding experience.
Ashley was an absolute gift to work with. She helped me manage my budget, connected me with vendors who truly understood my vision, and brought the style and design together in a way that felt effortless. Debra was also awesome and made sure everything ran flawlessly.
I keep saying our wedding was perfect—and it truly was. That perfection only existed because of Ashley, Debra, and the entire Corkscrew team. We also rented the home and venue the night before the wedding, which I highly recommend. My maid of honor and I stayed on site, enjoyed a slow, peaceful morning as my bridal party got there, welcomed vendors as they arrived, and actually relaxed. It was fun, stress-free, and set the tone for the entire day. They will always have my highest praise—and our photos speak for themselves!!!

s the “Thunderdome” - our go-to place to play pickleball. We had no idea at the time just how incredible the full property truly was. The first time we saw it as a wedding venue, we were blown away. It is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and so thoughtfully designed - it created the dream backdrop for our day.
Ashley truly helped us see and shape the vision for our wedding from the very beginning, and Debra made that vision come to life in the most seamless, thoughtful way. Thank you also to Tish and Jeff, your entire team was beyond amazing to work with. You all made everything feel organized, calm, and easy, which allowed us to actually enjoy the process instead of feeling overwhelmed. Your attention to detail, communication, and genuine care meant everything to us. If they recommend something, it's gold!
Our Sunday afternoon wedding was exactly what we envisioned - relaxed, joyful, and completely “us.” Being able to celebrate with our favorite people, enjoy the incredible space, and incorporate pickleball made the day so unique and fun. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and different it was.
Everything ran so smoothly, and we were able to truly be present and soak in every moment. That is something we will always be grateful for. You didn’t just host a wedding - you helped create an unforgettable experience.
It truly was the best day ever, and we are so grateful we chose Corkscrew Weddings & Winery. Thank you for making it all happen.
With so much appreciation,
Joanne and Norm Seiter

ocess. We visited the property multiple times to walk through the space and discuss every single detail, and every time we arrived, we were greeted with such warmth.
Debra was an absolute rockstar. No matter how many questions we had or how many times we needed to go over literally anything, she was always there and ready to help us with a smile. She made us feel like our wedding was her top priority, and her expertise took so much weight off our shoulders.
The entire team worked seamlessly together to make sure our day was flawless. The venue is stunning, but it’s the people—especially Debra—who make this place so special. We are so grateful for the care and attention they poured into our big day!

f this beautiful venue reached out to me because another venue who could not host my date gave her my info. She was so professional, quick in response, and very accommodating due to our circumstances. As soon as we toured the venue I knew Corkscrew Weddings and Winery was the place and we gave the money on the spot. Their manager Debra was amazing and helped coordinate with all the vendors as well as their day of coordinator Ashely who they recommended. All I had to do was bring everything I wanted for decorations and Ashley set it all up beautifully. Our wedding was beautiful and nothing less than perfect. I am so happy we found this venue and I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a place to have a wedding or event.
