"We were married at The Winfield Inn on April 29, 2006. We selected the Winfield on the day we visited the property, I knew it was the place the moment I set foot there. The ambiance and feel of The Inn is truly indescribable!
Jodi & April helped us with all of the details from chairs to food. They were always ready to recommend different companies for our cake, hair & make up, photography and much more. They answered all of my questions and truly helped structure of the event. They catered our food, which was phenomenal!
We did the food tasting which we thoroughly enjoyed, and it really helped me feel confident about the menu on the day of our wedding. Throughout my time spent with The Winfield, the entire staff was always ready to fulfill my every request.
We rented the grounds for the weekend, and I felt like a princess every minute of it! Our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were held on Friday evening at The Inn, my bridesmaids & I stayed there that night and had the most wonderful breakfast on china the next morning. Following breakfast we started on hair and make-up (we had 9 girls to do so we had to start right away!) Being able to get ready in the side room at the Winfield with the view of the grounds which allowed us to watch the hustle & bustle going on below really was a lot of fun too! Luckily, despite the awful weather that had us all worried the night before, the day of the wedding was absolutely beautiful! Without even having to ask, the next morning Tom and some staff members were running around to pick up the moss balls that had fallen from the trees during the storm the night before as well as clean the grounds one last time. At the ceremony we had a memory table and candle lighting for my Mom who passed away when I was 14; it really helped make me feel like she was with me on my special day. We also had a flutist & guitarist to play while people were seated & they performed the ceremony music as well, it really helped set the mood. After the ceremony we took pictures in front of the house and then moved onto the reception in the Garden Ballroom where we had our first dance, cutting of the cake, toasts and bouquet & garter toss. There we had a jazz pianist who played & sang during our pictures and dinner; he also helped set the mood. Afterwards we had a DJ so we could get down and dance! My new husband & I then stayed there the night of our wedding. Although we missed dinner due to all of the commotion at the reception, plates were made and put in the refrigerator for us so we could eat later that night - you see, the staff is so wonderful that they thought about absolutely everything!
Jodi, Tom, April & their interns were present the entire time and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night; and everything did! We had so much fun & everything was just as I had imagined it; very elegant. Everyone told me they had a ball and it was like being in a movie, they still rave about how our wedding was the best anyone has been to and of course about the food! Absolutely everything on our wedding day was wonderful and we truly thank the entire Winfield Inn staff for making it so!"
Warmest regards,
