So thankful to have been able to have our wedding at this beautiful venue! They were very easy to work with. Aside from the beautiful venue and scenery itself the workers were my favorite part. They all treat you like family on your big day and...

anytime you see them after. During the big day Sarah was excellent at working with us on the rehearsal and on the wedding day for telling us all when to walk out and having good communication. My most thankful thing though was that I was standing outside the door ready to walk in and I realized I forgot my bouquet, so Koert very quickly ran back in to get my bouquet because I would not of been able to go grab it with the dress in a quick manor. If I had to do it over again I’d pick this venue over and over and will continue to use the venue for future celebrations.

The Woods could not have been more perfect for our special day. The owners worked with us directly to find how they could best support us. The set up tables, chairs, and even allowed us to use furniture they had on site! Not to mention the fact...

that they were on-site day of to assist with anything they could. Their staff was incredibly kind and helpful. One man on staff (I’m sorry I didn’t get his name!) even drove us around on a golf cart while we took pictures outside and helped our catering crew clear trash. Their catering kitchen is HUGE (much bigger, more accessible, and way better laid out than most venue kitchen spaces), so your vendors will love it. Lots of great places to take photos inside as well, both on the event side and the bar side if you choose to rent that out as well (I highly recommend it - it’s a great space to hold a cocktail hour). Koert and Sarah really thought of every detail and have the drive and motivation to make sure that everything is executed to perfection. The space is gorgeous on its own, but is also extremely adaptable for whatever season/decor style you choose. We were married a week before Christmas, and the space felt extremely cozy. Thank you, The Woods Event Center, for hosting us with such a great space. I recommend you to everyone I know!
