Testimonials

“That wedding and reception was even better than our wedding. Ours was great, but the way EVERYTHING went at Karli and Blayne’s day was exceptional. Starting with Catherine’s control of the weather w/her stink eye, the decorations/flowers, the music, your staff’s presence without being overbearing, the food, the photographer’s professionalism in timely manner – it was great. We have received lots of feedback from family and friends on how much they all greatly enjoyed the evening. Bottom line, thanks so much for your efforts in making this a truly special day.”

"My husband and I were recently married at WindRiver this past May and could not have had a better wedding! This beautiful venue continues to expand and improve with several locations on the property becoming available for a dream ceremony and reception! The staff exceeded our expectations from the planning process, set up, food, and coordinating. They went above and beyond to meet our expectations and we had the BEST time of our lives! I wanted things to be as simple as possible and I am so glad that I chose to have our rehearsal dinner there along with spending the night at the lake house with my maid of honor the night before and with my husband the night of! My husband and I had a fantastic brunch the Sunday after our ceremony as well! Our wedding at WindRiver was truly a dream come true! A huge thanks go out to Rylee, Danyelle, Catherine, and Chef Robert Allen!"

"Wow! Where do I even start! I started working with Danyelle to plan the wedding of my dreams about 8 months ago. She was always there for me no matter what kind of questions or concerns I had along the way. We had multiple planning meetings throughout the process to make sure we were all on the same page. She and the team at WindRiver went above and beyond to make my wedding day magical and a dream come true. Despite the weather that came uninvited it was still all I could dream of. I will never be able to thank you enough Danyelle and the team at WindRiver!"

"I am going to try to keep this brief but it is going to be hard because the team at WindRiver provided me with hands down the best service in the business and I might be a little biased but the most beautiful and perfect wedding ever. My guests are still RAVING about the venue, the food, the decor...everything!!! - I was a very very detailed and meticulous bride. I like to think easy to work with but very particular. I am VERY hard to please. Danyelle and Catherine (the special events team) were kind, accommodating, and meticulous. NOT A SINGLE DETAIL WAS MISSED on the day of my wedding. They printed and carried around 50+ Pages of documents i sent them in advance about where all the decor should go, and how the day should flow- reviewing them with me numerous times. They answered my countless email questions. They applied the same level of care and meticulous attention to detail that I would have done myself. -The organization. After having been at many a wedding that has such a disorganized rehearsal, or disorganized ushering by the groomsmen, or a late start it was amazing to have Danyelle be so on top of it. Everything ran efficiently and on time which was rare and wonderful. -The food- my guests are still raving about how we had the best wedding food they've ever had. Chef Robert Allen is a freaking genius. I'm sad the wedding is over just because I have less of an excuse to eat his food all the time. -Above and beyond- They made sure my day was stress free, relaxing and perfect. I am not exaggerating when I say NOTHING went wrong on my day and I had the most fun, least stressful, best day ever. They surprised me by making a cake out of cheese wheels as part of my appetizer cheese spread because I had told them it was a dream of mine (get it? A "Cheese Wedding Cake"). What venue does that for a bride just to make her day more special? This team is amazing. I can't say enough nice things or thank them enough. THANK YOU WIND RIVER!!"
