Held a beautiful private ceremony here for our wedding. It was amazing. April and Mike were both wonderful and charming, they helped when we felt overwhelmed by decisions and are j...
ust the nicest people. The venue looks gorgeous anytime of year (we toured it a few times to get a feel for the place) Additionally they are in contact with several vendors in the area so most people are already accustomed to the layout and ready and willing to work with whatever vision you have for your day (ie. tenting, dance floors, dj set ups)
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about The Winding Woods Venue and the owners April & Mike. We had an elopement here on October 6, 2025 and were so grateful they were...
able to accommodate us as we wanted to get married on our anniversary which fell on a Monday. From our first meeting with April we were blown away by the venue and how kind she is and after months of searching for a venue, we decided on site that we had found the one. The venue has 3 gorgeous locations for your ceremony and or reception and tons of photo areas. Our guest have not stopped raving after attending and seeing our photos. There is even getting ready areas for bride and groom which I loved as the peaceful atmosphere in the woods helped me to calm my nerves before our ceremony. They have a golf cart to transport you and your guests and so many great add ons to make your day comfortable and special. I loved that April was able to recommend a local photographer, Pam Smith who took stunning photos. April made sure our day was perfect and walked us through every detail from day one up until our big day. She thought of everything and more so that our day was seamless. I am also grateful that our dog was able to be apart of our day as that was important to me. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this venue to everyone and anyone and would love to host future events here. Thank you so much April & Mike!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Winding Woods Venue. My partner and I wanted to have a small wedding outdoors with our closest loved ones, but finding a p...
rivate space that allowed dogs and didn't require a hike was challenging at first. This was the perfect fit and affordable to boot! We chose the elopement package in the Enchanted Forest. April was very communicative and answered any questions we had along the way. My dad can walk, but not very far without pain, so knowing they had a golf cart to easily transport him to the ceremony location to walk me down the aisle made me rest easy. The bridesmaids and I were able to finish getting ready in a tent that was out of view. It was a nice place to wait before being transported by the golf cart to the ceremony location. The ceremony went off without a hitch and April was there to assist in any way she could, such as gathering our personal items from the tent and giving them to us in the parking lot, to save us the trip back to the tent. I could not have asked for a better wedding day and I hope more people hear about it for their weddings and other events!!
If you love the beauty of nature, you will be very happy with Winding Woods. The Cookie Basket held a Mother’s Day Tea Party in their Secret Garden and April made everything look ...
magical. They put so much effort into adding the extra touches to make our guests feel welcome. We have gotten so many compliments about the Tea Party and the venue, everyone had such a great time! We have already scheduled another Tea Party for the fall! 🥰
Had a wonderful experience at Winding Woods Venue. Staff was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure our event went perfectly.
