Lake Windsor Country Club

hit every nail on the head. She really ran the show and made me not have to worry about a thing; we couldn’t have done it without her and the amazing staff who made everything seamless.

. She went above and beyond to help us out on things that weren't necessarily her "problem". For example, the morning of our wedding our chair set up delivery was late and she called the company to make sure everything was fine. The Pinnacle room was just renovated and it looks amazing. The food, decor, lighting was fantastic! We had about 130 guests and that seemed like a good number for the room - maybe even fewer would have been ideal!

t spots for photos - specifically I was told about how great their gazebo is for photos. My big day came and when we went to take photos in the gazebo and there was a wedding party using it for their rehearsal - I come to find out that the brother of one of the higher up employees was having a last minute wedding there the next day and was granted access while my wedding was happening. There was not time for us to use it. I was SO disappointed. Apparently you aren't given Lake Windsors' best if someone "more important" is around. My bridesmaids also informed me after the fact that a few employees were pretty rude to them. My final issue was I was also supposed to have private access to the locker room area (well the back room anyway) and there was AN EMPLOYEE in there getting ready when we arrived. Although she knew the rule about it - because she said 'Sorry I know this space is for you, but I have to get ready for my next job'-she continued to be in there with us as we tried to finish getting ready. Overall the unprofessional vibe all around left me not super happy with choosing this venue.

ble to guide us through every step of planning our wedding and reception and made our wedding day go flawlessly! We are recommending lake Windsor to everyone we know.

dinated the arrivals of all the vendors the day of the wedding so we did't have to worry about it. The country club is gorgeous from the outside ceremony to the indoor reception! It was everything I wanted out of my wedding day and more!

, and the day of, she was there to help and answer my million questions. She is truly outstanding! My husband and I just got married on March 10, 2018 and the day could not have gone better. We had a beautiful indoor ceremony and reception in the Crystal Commons. Everything moved so seamlessly, it really was beyond all expectations. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and the ease of moving from the ceremony to the reception without gaps of time in between. The venue itself is beautiful with the expansive windows and chandeliers - not a lot of decorating needed at all, which made it super easy for us. We were able to set up the day before the wedding so we didn't need to worry about it the day of. Everyone raved about the food as well. I can't recommend Lake Windsor enough. I would do it all over again in a second!

us advice on certain details and really facilitated the whole process. All the staff was friendly and accommodating even with a few last minute changes that couldn't have been forseen. It was truly a great experience having our wedding at LWCC and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gorgeous wedding venue where the service is excellent and they work with you every step of the way. Thanks to Katie and everyone who made our special day perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything more!

, preparing and getting married at Lake Windsor Country Club an easy decision! All of our guests boasted about how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed our wedding. We couldn't agree more and we are proud to share our amazing experience with anyone planning to get married in the Madison area!

anning process and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. We received so many compliments on the food and the beauty of the floor-to-ceiling windows and chandeliers in Crystal Commons. We highly recommend Lake Windsor for your wedding venue- you will be very happy with your choice!

available.

to make during the whole wedding process that I am sure we would have been flustered if it wasn't for Katie Bohnert at Lake Windsor. She did an amazing job of helping us plan our wedding and getting us information in a timely manner. She had a lot of vendors to choose from( some we used and some we did on our own) and allowed us to use some of the things that Lake Windsor had stockpiled (glass hurricane vases etc). The venue is amazing and the pictures that we got were out of this world. I strongly recommend uplighting because it makes the room really pop. We rented the upstairs room which was large with huge chandeliers and bar area. We were worried because we were going to have 95 people and we thought the room may look too big for the wedding but Katie set it up so well that it looked prefect. We had a New York themed wedding with street signs and taxi cab everywhere! Everything from the outdoor ceremony to the pictures to the reception went so smoothly and without a hitch. Mainly due to the great planning done by Lake Windsor. It was an amazing day and one that we will never forget. The only issue we had with our wedding was the hotel. The Courtyard Marriott East was such a hassle and I strongly recommend not using them. Usually when you book a block of rooms, you are guaranteeing that you will fill them so you get a better price. Not at the Courtyard Marriott. They basically told us it was $159 a night in the room block and if we got 10 rooms in our block then our room would be covered for the night of the wedding. Everyone looked online and found the same rooms for $130. We got so many texts, emails from our friends wondering why they had to pay more??? And, if we got 10 rooms in our block we had access to the Marriott shuttle to the venue. I talked/emailed a number of times with the event coordinator Mandy Bublitz about the price and that we had many people booking online because the price was so different. She was unable to help and said that no one outside of the block could ride the shuttle. So we had 6 rooms the night of the wedding in the block plus many of them stayed either a Thursday night before the wedding and the Saturday after. Then we had about 11-12 other people that purchased rooms through the internet for multiple days. We brought in a ton of business and we did not get the night of the wedding champagne in our room or anything. Our friends had to spend the money to make sure we had it . Then when we reached out to them they said we could come back and stay a night for free! DIdn't offer a discount on the $235 we had to spend on our room that night or anything. Just bad business. I will never stay at another Marriott again and I hope Lake Windsor does not recommend them to future wedding couples ! Lake Windsor is Amazing... Courtyard Marriott East --- Not so much.

course, small blue ponds and stately trees. All the rooms have an angelic type ambiance because the golden sunrays bathe them with glistening light shimmering from the massive crystal chandeliers and elegant table glassware. From the rotunda tables, to the white clothed chairs to the fine plate ware, one not only sees the opulent décor, but can feel it too. LWCC’s investment into the facility oozes elegance refined for any special occasion to be remembered, with sweet cherished thoughts. Our September wedding ceremony was in the comforting warm sunlight soaked Crystal Commons Room where a string quartet and pianist harmonically played deeply heartfelt compositions emphasizing the magic of the moment. From there, LWCC provided golf carts which whizzed the wedding party to select locations to freeze in time those picturesque moments with the sunset as a backdrop. While photos were being taken, the string quartet serenaded the guests and family members as they fawned over the wide selection of hor-dourves; the potato matinees and smoked salmon being out of this world. Then as entrance music played, everyone was ushered to white linen tables, each flanked by bottles of iced bubbles while an army of butlers raced with succulent aromas and silver plated serving dishes. This later culminated with choreographed father/daughter and husband/wife dances just before the crowd happily and crazily stamped their feet on the polished wood while the DJ dazzled with disco lights and a variety of toe tapping, heal pounding music. And for those with tired feet, LWCC accommodated space for a photo-booth which at times was busting at the seams with people wanting to wear crazy attire for their keepsake enchanted pictures. LWCC is a wonderful facility for any occasion. But a facility is just that: a place to meet, eat, celebrate and enjoy; however, if you don’t have an event coordinator – or rather the right event coordinator – then your celebration, and the journey there to, will be stressful marked with anxiety and apprehension, hoping for the best but not having planned for it. This is where Katie Bohnert comes in. In a nutshell, Katie is a master problem solver threading complex issues and concerns with insight and experience while displaying dazzling arrays of options into cohesive, delightful synergistic solutions. For us, having a year to plan, there were a number of pitfalls and hurdles to overcome. From the minor of accommodating a large number of people’s dietary concerns, to the sensitive that some people have strong affinities to alcohol consumption to the extremely complex: how do we get the biggest bang for our dollar? The latter being important to anyone that desires not only a cherished event but one that is not wasteful while being accommodating to all. Katie was akin to a 3rd degree black belt Kung-Fu warrior where she would break problem barriers, masterfully twist and spin with expenditures delivering the amazingly perfect touch to awe even the skeptical. Yes, the right venue is important and LWCC has that and more. But the most important decision is - who is taking care of you? We were fortunate and hope others experience the same with their special occasion.

r wedding, Brandie, the wedding coordinator, is a dream to work with. She is detail-orientated, highly responsive and executed all of our wedding ideas into reality. The Lake Windsor Country Club was the perfect location, sitting right outside of Madison. We love this place!

d critical things had yet to be figured out. We had a due date for when final payment was due and could not meet it because our contact had not given us a quote on the final costs, several weeks after she said she would. We also had a big issue with the way they do taste testing and this was only discovered after we had already booked them. The testing made it really difficult to actually see more than two food options without spending hundreds of dollars seeing as they serve everything in full portions and only the bride and groom are free of charge. We had to bring a large group of family to be able to assess different menu options and it wasn't cheap. And this was only for dinner meals as well, you can't test anything else like appetizers or desserts. Long story short, working with them was the most stressful part of our wedding and this was very unfortunate because they really hold so much potential to be better.

s perfect. She sent me pictures of the venue all that morning as people were decorating since I couldn't be there, checked in with us frequently throughout the evening to see if we needed anything, and was so good at communicating throughout the whole wedding planning process. She is so incredibly sweet and personable. My guests raved about how delicious all the food was, how gorgeous of a venue it was, and of course- how friendly all of the staff was!! This venue was everything we could've ever hoped for in a wedding reception spot. Thank you so much Katie and Lake Windsor Staff!!

very beginning that we were in VERY good hands! They are such pros at the wedding business as they thought of everything, especially things that we hadn't even thought of or considered. The minimum for how much to spend was a little daunting in the beginning, but we felt it was the perfect amount in the end. We were able to offer our guests appetizers, a plated dinner, late night snacks, 2 kegs of Spotted Cow, 1 keg of Miller Lite, 1/6th keg of Tyranena Bitter Woman, and an open wine tab. Our guests loved Lake Windsor and are still raving about how perfect of a venue it was. We are beyond happy with our choice for our wedding reception and cannot recommend Lake Windsor enough!

r the course of our wedding planning and she was always quick to respond and always answered all of my questions in detail!! Wedding planning and all of the details can get a little crazy but we always felt like we were in good hands with Lake Windsor. The food was great and things moved swiftly. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the venue is. They are really pros at weddings here. I really can't say enough how helpful Brandie was during this whole process!! She made our lives a lot easier!

ailable, but we toured and the facility is absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone!

st minute changes and questions. The food was served in a timely manner, hot, delicious and we got lots of compliments from our guests about it. The venue itself was clean, beautiful and staff was amazing. Our event coordinator, Elise, went above and beyond, assisting with anything and everything, easy to talk to and had many suggestions and ideas to make our day perfect.

with, via email or phone, and always promptly answered any questions I had. It was convenient to have everything included in one place. Food, beverages, linens, etc., was all handle by Lake Windsor Golf Club. The food was absolutely delicious. I continue to get compliments. Could not ask for anything more.

he wedding, Elise, our event coordinator, has been AMAZING! She made us feel very comfortable from early on, and made planning very easy. She was easy to communicate with, via email or phone, and always promptly answered any questions I had. She really did make the stress of planning a wedding almost non-existant. Lake Windsor was able to accommodate to most anything we wanted for our special day. It was also very nice to have everything rolled into one package--food, beverages, linens, etc., and only one person to have to coordinate all these things with. The food was absolutely delicious, and I continue to get compliments on how amazing the Fillet was...I would highly recommend it :) Overall, I truly believe Lake Windsor and Elise deserve a 5/5 rating. We were able to enjoy planning for the big day and relax on our wedding day knowing that everything was taken care of and that we were in great hands.

re the right fit for our ~100 guests. The staff and our coordinator, Brandie, made every thing run smoothly!

every need! In addition to the beautiful setting, their attention to detail, professionalism, creative ideas, and flexibility made our event truly special! Our guests were also delighted and we highly recommend Lake Windsor to anyone planning an event!

eality. The food was delicious! Good sized portions too!

lives. Brandie was outstanding at answering all of my questions leading up to our big day and made sure we, as well as our guests, had an incredible experience AND a great time. We could not be happier with this venue! It was worth every single cent.

I felt at times there was more than one of her as she was taking care of last minute details to helping our ceremony details and timings. I truly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding they will remember and also have no worries on the day of your wedding. Thanks to Brandie and her Lake Windsor Staff, My guests are still talking about our wedding and its 2 weeks later.

amilies said that many of the guests commented on the service and food and were impressed with the beauty of the venue. Really wonderful!

d our reception in the Crystal Ballroom, and it was BEAUTIFUL. The chandeliers were the perfect accompaniment to our classic wedding style. Lindsay was our wedding coordinator, and we honestly could not have been happier with her. She is extremely organized, prompt, and professional. Lindsay was there every step of the way. She helped make my dream wedding a reality. Lindsay alone gave this review 5 stars! I can't forget to mention the AMAZING and delicious food that Lake Windsor serves. I wanted to try it all! Everything was so perfect. I highly recommend Lake Windsor Golf Club.

d have to say is the minimum you have to spend, we had a hard time reaching that. But if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you to the Staff who helped me!!

ovely white linens and place settings. We had an insane amount of food that was all delicious (this was VERY important to us - fabulous food!) The coordinators are all super organized and friendly. They made the day go completely smoothly so that you can feel 100% at ease on your special day & know that if anything arises, they'll take care of it for you. I also found them to be flexible and excited about our own unique ideas to make the day feel like "us." Finally, I truly feel like the cost is SO reasonable. When you think about some venues charging a rental, linen rental, waitstaff charge, bartender charge, tips, coordination, etc. on top of food/drink, it adds up so quickly! Lake Windsor was completely reasonable to make all of these things possible on a rather modest wedding budget. I am so grateful for this space - there was not even another contender for us in the Madison area. It was perfect and all of our guests RAVED about the space, the beauty, and the food! Finally, if you use the downstairs space, you get the added bonus of the patio and walking out on to the golf green and gazebo. A beautiful setting for wedding photos!!!

to just relax and enjoy our day. The food was incredible, I had so many comments from our guests that it was the best wedding food they have tasted! Every little detail was taken care of by the staff, and they do so many weddings that there is nothing that goes overlooked. Perfect wedding venue!

Windsor was absolutely amazing from the day we signed the contract. We were assigned a wedding coordinator, Kate, who worked with us the entire process and ensure the small details were taken care of the day of so we didn't have to worry about them. Kate was amazing to work with. We were having an outdoor wedding and it started to rain so they brought everything inside and started setting up and then the sun came out and Kate worked with her staff to take everything back outside. It was a seamless process and we couldn't have been happier that they made it happen. It was really the perfect day for us and Lake Windsor, Kate and the staff helped to make that possible. I cannot say enough good things about Lake Windsor.

up to the wedding. The bartenders made sure we always had a drink in our hand. The food was delicious and presented wonderfully. I honestly do not have a single complaint!

d all our questions, connected with us, knew what we wanted before we did and even helped the day of with getting everyone lined up and in order and telling people when to walk down the aisle. She stayed for dinner to make sure everything went smoothly. I don't think we could have pulled our wedding off without her help. The venue was amazing and the set up is perfect. We got married upstairs due to the size of our wedding and everyone had plenty of room, the food was amazing and the drinks kept flowing. Lake Windsor is an amazing venue and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an outdoor/indoor venue. They deserve all the awards and titles they have. PERFECT :)

she made planning the wedding easy. Next, the food. Oh, the food. So delicious and great portions-I especially love their flexibility. They will actually make anything you want to make your wedding more individualized. Way too cool. Of course, the venue itself is beautiful, overlooking the golf course. We didn't use the outdoor ceremony spot, but it is gorgeous-we have some amazing pictures from the gazebo. We loved that they could get us beer we wanted. Simply put, I recommend everyone to get married here. It is the best.

level - it was the perfect size for our group (~135 people) and absolutely stunning. The reception was more than I could have ever dreamed of. The food was so delicious, beautifully plated and fresh. The staff from servers to bartenders were very attentive and accommodating. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Lake Windsor on Friday night - we did the fish fry and it was fantastic! Kate was our wedding coordinator - she had great recommendations, responded to questions very quickly, paid close attention to details and was extremely friendly to work with. I would hands down recommend Lake Windsor Golf Club for any wedding festivities - from rehearsal to ceremony to reception. Thank you for making our wedding truly remarkable. We have received nothing but compliments about how wonderful the ceremony and reception was.

led her and she would get back to me right away. Everyone was extremely helpful and it made my day perfect.

Every staff member went above and beyond to meet our needs, particularly Lindsay, our event coordinator. Lindsay was instrumental in making the day go off without a hitch. She helped me with vendor suggestions, which turned out great. She answered any question that I had about any aspect of the planning, which helped ease my anxiety tremendously. Our wedding day was beyond perfect. The ceremony space was beautiful. The food was excellent. Our guests were very complimentary; many saying the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. Lake Windsor's staff worked really well with our vendors; most of which were very familiar with Lake Windsor and their staff. We were married on a Sunday so our ceremony space and the food was discounted which helped tremendously with the expense. I would highly recommend Lake Windsor Golf Club to anyone planning a wedding or any event.

ding and the setup is perfect!

en more, I would have - damn corset, lol!). The staff was amazing and I couldn't have been happier! We had Lindsay as our wedding coordinator, and she took all the stress out of planning the venue details. If we throw another big event, it's absolutely going to be there!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!

received many compliments on the venue as well as the food. We wouldn't change anything from the day and enjoyed every bit of it at lake Windsor.

as great as well! They are serious when they say " the only thing they overlook is the golf course." An absolute A+ from this happy couple.

ion to detail. They went way above and beyond to make our wedding day wonderful! The customer service at Lake Windsor is out of this world! They make you feel like you are the most important wedding and want your day to be perfect for you. They have a lot of experience and it really shows. The food was delicious - all of the guests loved it! I think Lake Windsor is the BEST venue in the greater Madison area hands down!!

ld by many guests it was the most beautiful reception ever! They even commented that it must have cost a fortune but in reality it was all very reasonable. Couldn't have asked for a better place!

you with all the information you need!! For rehearsal you just need to prepare for how to run it just in case. It was a little delayed; however, that was no big deal at all!! Great place, scenery, team members, and food!! I would highly recommend this venue to everyone I know as I did to a very best friend who is getting married there next summer!! :)

a good job making sure that everything ran smoothly and according to what we wanted. The only thing I think could be improved is if more of the preparation could have been done online; there were some things that we repeated a couple times leading up to the wedding. That said, everything worked out on the day of!

ride's big day, and if I need to take time to fix my dress, then I take time to fix my dress... Don't tell me I only have a minute. They also broke my cake topper :( But those are the only things that went wrong, everything else was fantastic. You can not beat the beauty and value of this venue!

he planning time which is reason enough for a bride to freak out but with Lake Windsor there is no need. The head event coordinator stepped in and answered my questions almost immediately. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff. A convenience Lake Windsor offers is a complimentary shuttle service to a number of nearby hotels that also give a great discount for your guests. This takes the worry out of the fact that Lake Windsor is a little off the beaten path. The last thing I'll mention is the food. WOW! It was amazing! We were able to taste test multiple times to make sure we picked exactly what we wanted. There were so many deliscious options, it was hard to pick. Needless to say our guests raved over the prime rib, Mediterranean chicken, & veggitable puffed pastry we served.

e were chances of rain, the staff worked with us up until 20 minutes before the ceremony to allow my wishes of an outdoor wedding to come true! I would recommend Lake Windsor to anyone planning an event.

made sure that everything went smoothly the entire day. The food was delicious (many of our guests said this was the best "wedding" food they have ever tasted), the setting (indoors and outdoors) was gorgeous, we were surrounded by our friends and family, and we partied all night long...what more could you ask for?!

tanding and the staff at Lake Windsor helped take care of all the details so we could enjoy our day!

party was awesome!

nd 'Tops the Tiara' for 2011" speaks for itself. It's been voted THE BEST overall reception venue in the state for 4 years, and I couldn't agree more. When you've stepped inside, you're immediately surrounded by elegance. Marble floors, beautiful french doors by the restrooms (great location, btw), class chandeliers, and coat room. It is followed by a hallway that lends itself really well to setting up a escort card table, a guest book table, a gift table, and a cake table, all in sequence to help your guests out all the more. My hubby and I really appreciated how well this flowed. Upon walking through another beautiful set of glass doors, you enter the Crystal Commons, the upper room (where our reception was held). The Crystal Commons is unlike any other venue you'll find in the area for these reasons: 1) the wall behind where the bridal party sits is entirely glass overlooking the golf course and patio below, and 2) the overall look of this room has a elegant beauty that takes care of its own beauty(we did very little decorating- popped open the grand piano by the doors for a friend to play some classical music during hors'dourves; also, just a bunch of romantic candles and some simple greens & hydrangea centerpieces-- voila!), and 3) our guests appreciated the bar being located along the far edge of the dance floor. The General Manager, Jennifer, does an outstanding job, from meeting with the couple as often as needed, to arranging the free taste testing. Something else that sets Lake Windsor apart is their offering every Bride & Groom couple one of their event coordinators. Being a detail-nut and bean-counter myself, I still reeaallly appreciated their advice and help at many stages along the way. Our coordinator, Beth, made it a very smooth and enjoyable planning experience. Our wedding day was even more enjoyable and special than we ever could have imagined, and that's because of the fantastic staff at Lake Windsor. They work so hard to make sure your day is unforgettable. They sure nailed it for us. I would recommend this venue to all my friends before even mentioning the name of any other venue. Anne & David Starr June 22, 2012

tities and chair rentals, and was prompt in responding to my emails as we planned our celebration. Following our wedding, we received many, MANY compliments on the amazing and very tasty food. We also loved our bartenders; fun and definitely took care of us and our guests. Lake Windsor let us bring backyard games for the patio and we were also allowed use of the golf carts for pictures. Finally, we were incredibly impressed with the shuttle services Lake Windsor had set up with the East side Madison hotels; they worked perfectly for our guests and us at the end of the night! We would highly recommend Lake Windsor as a ceremony and reception venue!

d--no charge!) for the day was Beth--she was very attentive, accommodating, and she made us, our family, and guest feel very special. The food is amazing...our guests loved the chicken & salmon entrees we chose. Bar staff was friendly and allowed us to have a very fun reception. If you want one venue for our wedding in Madison I believe this is the place to go. We also had an outdoor ceremony at Lake Windsor and it was perfect.

ents on how beautiful the hall was, how great the food was and how perfect the location was from the hotels! The price was with in our budget and all worked out wonderfully. And I have to give a shout out to Jennifer the coordinator without her I am sure I would have been lost! But trust me when I say that this is a great place to hold your reception or even your entire wedding!

teneders... it was all amazing and well worth the money!

r again I would book them again. I wouldn't change a thing.

orever. Loved it!!

uests. Everyone loved the look of the hall. Easy to work with staff. Wonderful bartenders. Very easy to decorate and look upscale.
