So happy with WW. They answered all questions I had throughout the process and were easily accessible. The Retreat was such a beautiful venue and they did such a great job. A lot of our guests said “it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to”. Super on top of it! I’m a little neurotic with planning in general and they followed instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond. Only issue - don’t get Tom as your DJ, or else you’ll be disappointed because he doesn’t do remixes or follows instructions diligently. He was good at making announcements, but as far as music goes, I would have been better off playing music off of my phone. They have a DJ that you’re required to use as part of the package because it’s in a residential neighborhood, but they do have other DJ’s aside from Tom. Otherwise everything else that WW did was fantastic.

We just had our wedding a few days ago on Thursday and it was hands down amazing. We could not have asked for a better executed experience. Iveth was an amazing day of coordinator. Everyone loved the food and Kyle our DJ kept the party going smoothly. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking to have a smooth wedding for a good price. We had about 55 people and it all looked great. All the in-house vendors are excellent at communication and if you have any issues the staff at the Orchard can easily help you out.
