Perfect Venue

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Mica was so easy to work with and was very helpful in multiple situations. I can’t imagine our wedding being anywhere but at this beautiful venue..it was truly the wedding of our dreams!

Stunning venue and amazing staff!!

I cannot say enough nice things about The Windamere. We stumbled upon the venue by chance and fell in love with it the moment we stepped into the main room. Pictures honestly don’t do it justice! Mica (the owner) and her staff are absolutely fantastic as well. Mica made sure everything ran smoothly and was so accommodating both day of and beforehand. Everything really made for a day I’ll never forget- it was perfect! Definitely go with the Windamere for an experience you won’t forget.

Beautiful doesn't even do start to do it justice

We loved this location from the moment we stepped foot in the door. Its unique and elegant vibe set the exact tone we wanted. I loved that it is run as a small business and is owner operated. Mica really takes pride in what she does, and works to make your day exactly what you want. It was great to be the only event happening in the venue and to have that sole focus on you and your moment.

She was always quick to respond to emails and questions, and so flexible and accommodating. She helped us select other vendors when we needed suggestions, and pick the exact right decor to go with our vision all while making the process effortless on our part. We provided some sentimental pieces of decor that were incorporated in the vault bar which was a huge hit. All we really had to do was show up and enjoy the moment.
We started the day with mimosas and were able to enjoy a private moment on the VIP balcony after returning from our ceremony. My husband and I left the minute it was over, and she sent us out the door with a bottle of champagne. I loved not having to worry about making sure anything was cleaned up or that we had all the odds and ends we had come with. The decor was so beautiful and I couldn't have asked for more.

Her staff was amazing and we still have guests telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. I would highly recommend the Windamere to anybody interested in a beautiful, classy, afforable venue in northern Cincinnati areas.
