They exceeded every expectation that I had. The ceremony and reception were absolutely magical and every detail was just how I imagined it. They we're always on top of what needed to be done, always made sure I was okay and satisfied, and answered all of my many questions. And not to mention, their food was amazing!! Everything was perfect and it's all thanks to them.Windemere Hotel and Conference Center's reply:

Emily Sent on 10/13/2009Joe and his staff at the Windemere made my wedding PERFECT! When I was researching a venue, out of the 20 or so I called, the Windemere was the only place that didn't charge thousands of dollars to use their reception hall. The Windermere was the last place I discovered because my husband and I were brainstorming weddings we had attended. We both had remembered attending other weddings there. As soon as we inquired I was sold. Joe was so friendly. It is extremely affordable. We were able to chose a package deal that was right for our budgets and guests. I had a meeting with Joe every month. He emailed me within 24 hours every time I called or emailed. His assistants were very professional and trained to answer any questions I had if Joe was out. I had a personal member of the staff at my side through out the entire wedding, anything I needed was there (mints, tums, drinks, pins for the dollar dance) She made everything flow so smooth. That is exceptional service if you ask me. The Windemere provided a free room for us, a free ice sculpture, and a free champagne toast for booking our wedding. They offered all of my guests discounted rooms and upgraded them for no extra charge. I do agree that the rooms could be updated however we really didn't care about the room, we cared about the service and the flow of our special day. Our wedding was perfect and I would highly recommend the Windemere to anyone who is on a tight budget but still wants the big perfect wedding. Thank you Joe and Windemere staff -

User839396 Sent on 06/25/2012I met one of the representatives at a bridal expo and she not only overcame my initial rejections of a having my wedding at a hotel, she got me excited to do it! We went to our initial consultation at the venue and decided right then that this was where we were getting married! Joe Vojacek is outstanding as an event coordinator! He was open to all of our ideas and was quite willing to facilitate anything we wanted! When we were not sure what we wanted he was full of his own ideas and suggestions about what we could do- all without any pressure to do things a certain way. He was open to our unusual requests, like having a watermelon shark at the buffet and having our flower petals swirled in a pattern down the aisle. He also had his own wonderful ideas like having an ice sculpture (included in the package!) and having tall centerpieces at the tables. His assistants are also amazing! They were all knowledgeable, enthusiastic, patient, and creative! We knew the wedding would be amazing but on the day of, we were BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful everything looked! It completely surpassed our expectations and the food was SO DELICIOUS! It was an incredible value and comes highly recommended. The only complaint about using the Windemere was with the hotel side of events. They were unorganized, rude, and a lot of our guests reported problems at checkout time. We were quite disappointed with the hotel staff and service. If the hotel could raise its level of cleanliness, service, and preparedness up to the same level as the conference center then we would rate them 20 out of a possible 10! As it stands we give the conference center 10/10 and the hotel 4/10. -

Vanessa Sent on 03/31/2011We loved the ceremony and reception areas! They were beautifully decorated, spacious, and everyone kept complimenting us on how beautiful the wedding was. The food was also FANTASTIC! -
User1096291 Sent on 02/22/2013I had all my wedding events at Windemere. Joe and his team were great! All the pre-wedding meetings and planning was done smoothly. The food we catered for one of the events (vege Mexican meal) was amazing! I still get people telling me how good the food was! The decor and service was great on the days of the events. Overall, a venue I would highly recommend. -

Yvonne Sent on 09/16/2009The planning was easy and the hotel takes care of so much and made putting all the preparations for the wedding ceremony and reception easy. They always responded quickly when I emailed or left them a voicemail. Joseph and his staff was great and the made the wedding very special for both of us and it was affordable without being over the top expensive and it was really nice. Some of the hotel rooms could of been a little more updated but the conference center was great and having the ceremony in the courtyard was great.. Thanks for everything -

Cheap for a reason
Pushy staff that was swapped 6 nonths into planning. Our deposit was "lost" and then found again after fighting. Difficult to coordinate with as there were two separate staff members I'd have to repeat my requests to. Email communication was like talking to a wall. Decor and reception hall was included with the food, but Everything was otherwise upcharged. During the ceremony butted in to ask about payment. Very unprofessional. Found out later that our reserved date could have been "bought" by someone else who wanted it. -

They can improve by being flexible with their customers and honor their contract for weddings. They did not allow me to postpone or reduce guest size according to the national and Government guidelines due to the pandemic, therefore my wedding was horrible. All they cared about was their money. They did not honor the ceremony agreement with the paid decorations. They ruined my cake. The hotel room was horrible. Crimes have happened their prior to the wedding. The bartender wanted to close down an hour and half earlier due to not enough people there and he isn’t making tips. I had the placed paid for until 9pm. My friends ended giving the bartender $150 to stay longer. Just sad that I reported everything snd they did nothing because they had to shut down the next day. I can go on big I do not recommend them.
