Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a venue, my husband and I toured 7 or 8 venues prior to finding The Lofton. I was very particular that the venue we chose had a nice getting ready area for my husband and his guys. Shortly after pulling into The Lofton, we had a very good feeling about it. Just the outside appearance was enough to take your breath away, but once inside the atmosphere was unmatched. After talking with the amazing team and getting a tour of the venue, we booked our wedding date the same night. We booked about a year in advance and utilized every open house we could make it to. This gave us the opportunity to go through the shed full of decor and decide what we wanted to use to create our dream wedding. A month before our wedding we sat down with Amanda and her team and went over every detail of the wedding. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect or smooth wedding day. During the planning process, the team was available to answer any and every question I had, give advice when asked and be the mediator between us and vendors. I never felt rushed, stressed or like I was just another wedding. They made our wedding everything we wanted and more. I have and will continue to recommend them to everyone. We truthfully could not be more thankful for The Lofton and their team.

Windwood offers a unique setting with an old-world-inspired atmosphere perfect for your wedding. It is reminiscent of an old-English Estate with the barn nestled in the valley.

This is the perfect venue at which your wedding dreams can come true! We will make it our priority to bring your wedding day plans into reality.

When searching for a venue, my partner and I wanted a beautiful venue we didn't need to decorate too much. We had viewed venues for hours one weekday and in fact, I had contemplated canceling with Windwood, I was so tired of looking. However, we didn't, and it was the biggest blessing we didn't. As soon as we pulled through the gate, we both said, "this is it, this is our venue". It's like finding the perfect dress! Not only is the venue breathtaking all on its own, the staff and owners are precious. William was so welcoming from day one. I remember the night before the wedding, we rented the Airbnb, and he came up late at night to help us with something. Lyndsey was there every step of the way, managing the space while also helping my own wedding planner. I cannot recommend them enough. It was truly a dream come true!
