Five stars!

We couldn't have been more satisfied with the service we received. The staff answered every single question I had, regardless of how small or silly it may have been. We received so many compliments from our guests about how classy our event was! Everything from the bar service to the wait staff was more than we could have imagined! Definitely consider Erin’s Pavilion if you've just started your venue search. You won't regret it!

They were amazing to work with. They helped with setting up the table placements and offered suggestions on the layout for the reception. We actually had our arch break hours before our ceremony and they called me to let me know and worked not only with our rental company but with their maintenance guys to make the ceremony space gorgeous. I highly highly highly recommend Erin's.

Beautiful location! We had a gorgeous outdoor wedding, then had dinner inside. The wall of windows was so special and kept the feeling of openess. We had a large party of over 330+ guests and while full we still had a great dance floor and plenty of space for everyone! Jenny, Tammy and everyone else at Erin's made sure our night went well.

This venue is so beautiful! The park is gorgeous and the opportunity for gorgeous sunset views is breathtaking. The people on site from Jenny, Leslie and Tammy, to the maintenance guys - were all exceptionally helpful, friendly and polite. Our wedding turned out perfectly and our day was amazing.

Erin's Pavilion was PERFECT for my wedding. I've always loved how gorgeous that park is and decided to look into it. Their wedding package had everything we were looking for so we decided to book. Every step of the way they helped us through deciding the layout, making sure the landscape was perfect for the day of, opening early so that we could set up ourselves instead of paying someone, and even changing the entire layout the afternoon before due to weather. I cannot speak highly enough of Jenny and the staff there. I truly recommend southwind for the best wedding venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
