The Wadsworth Homestead offers a beautiful venue of historic proportions! Their service and quality is exceptional.
When I first met Will, I was immediately drawn to his calming nature, friendly personality, and professionalism. He coordinated my Wedding, and I will never forget how incredible our celebration was because of him, and the pride and care he took for the property. I also have had the honor of photographing Weddings with him as a professional photographer and I can't wait to celebrate with them and with him every time. The attention to detail, the beautiful surroundings, and the helpful staff are always amazing. We keep in touch in social networks, and I am continuously impressed by everything he exceeds in doing. I feel very lucky to know him and I highly recommend him and celebrations at the Wadsworth Homestead...one of the very nicest and caring people I know, in an incredibly beautiful and historic setting.
