*STOP SCROLLING* and look no further. This is the place you want to have your wedding. It's thanks to the incredible team at Woodside, mainly Tom Manetta and Sarah Mottola, that my... husband and I were able to have our fairy tale celebration. We changed and postponed our reception nearly 4 times throughout COVID, and yet it turned out perfectly. We were originally supposed to be married on 3/21/2020, so right at the very beginning of the pandemic, but my husband is from England and all his friends and family are still there, so needless to say our celebration plans were very tricky.
Sarah, the maître d' at Woodside and our contact throughout the process, was incredible. She was kind, patient, friendly, and unbelievably organized, even with all the revisions and changes throughout the process. The food was outstanding, the venue (indoors and outdoors) was immaculately kept, the bridal suite is stunning, and the grounds were unbelievable. They even accommodated a recorded video "speech" from the groomsmen and a Cinderella carriage that came to the grounds for photos. Every friend and family member is raving and keeps saying we should publicly publish the photos. We only have positive things to say about our experience and that's all we keep hearing from our guests as well, nothing but outstanding reviews and remarks.
It was complete chance that we happened upon the venue and I thank god that we did. Right from the start we were taken care of and felt incredibly special. The ballroom is unlike any other, with a stunning center chandelier and fabric ceiling. There is a spiral staircase leading up to the bridal suite, plenty of space for hair and makeup, and folks, that's just the tip of the iceberg, I could go on and on about all the details that came to life thanks to the team at Woodside, all their hard work, and all their advice, suggestions, and recommendations. They're pros, they know exactly what they're doing. We were even able to facetime in his parents for the ceremony and have Pimms (an English drink) as one of our signature drinks. Also, the bartender is so full of life and love, we loved her too.
The last thing I want to make sure to mention is, I'm not an easy customer to please. I have an eye for perfection and an idyllic imagination, as well as a strong willed (and opinionated) family, but this team deserves all the praise. It was a day beyond my wildest dreams and everything was perfect down to the after party by the magnificent wooden square bar. Oh, and how could I forget to mention the BANG you get for your buck, truy unreal. The least we can do is give them the recognition they so deserve. We LOVED it there and we love the people there too. I'm so happy we chose them. So PLEASE , do yourself a favor and book your wedding at Woodside. You'll feel like royalty, I know we certainly did.
