The Winding Woods Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was friendly, informative, and made the entire planning process a breeze. The venue itself is worth far more than the reasonable price they charge - the space has such an amazing homey and cozy atmosphere that all of our guests commented on. The team was incredibly helpful, coordinating the day-of timeline seamlessly and even lending a hand with setting up and breaking down our decor. Their professionalism and attention to detail really shone through during the rehearsal as well. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend The Winding Woods to any couple looking for a special, memorable wedding day.

I know what you’re thinking — isn’t that a restaurant? It is, but it’s also one of the most amazing wedding venues you could ever dream of. From the very first meeting, you’ll work with Judy, the event manager, and let me tell you, she is a true rockstar. Judy doesn’t just help plan your day; she makes the impossible possible. Every idea I threw her way, no matter how out-of-the-box, she brought to life. I wanted a roaming cannoli bar — I got it. I wanted drinks served out of a canoe and a freshly shucked oyster bar — I got those too. Nothing was too big, too small, or too complicated for her. She is hands down one of the hardest-working, most detail-oriented people you will ever meet. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. It wasn’t just your standard “wedding food” — it was fresh, flavorful, and truly unique to the Deauville experience. Weeks later, our guests are still raving about how it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. And the location itself? Unmatched. There’s something so magical about being right on the water — it feels both relaxed and elegant at the same time. When I first toured, Judy told me, “The night will already be memorable because of the location.” She couldn’t have been more right. Between the setting sun, the ocean breeze, and the warm glow of the venue, it was beyond anything I could have imagined. It was, without a doubt, the most amazing venue we could have ever chosen. 10/10 recommend — if you’re even considering it, stop thinking and just book it.
