The Woodward is the perfect venue for a wedding in downtown South Bend. The location is within walking distance of hotels and great restaurants and the venue itself is beautiful and newly remodeled. Leigh was wonderful to work with and made sure that our reception flowed smoothly!
I am so happy that I decided to host my wedding reception at the Woodward Room. Morgan and Leigh were so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for my reception. I live in Chicago and planned my Indiana wedding from there and they were so easy to contact and responded very quickly to all of my emails, calls and texts. The venue is perfect right in downtown South Bend and gave my reception a city feel. We used the Woodward caterer and EVERYONE at my reception just raved about the food! It was the perfect day!
The Woodward Room was a perfect spot for our wedding! Intimate, romantic, and super easy staff to work with. Leigh at The Woodward is phenomenal to work with!!! Great location right downtown and wonderful service!!
