It doesn't get better than Winterthur. This is the most amazing venue, with incredible service, food, and people. We are over the moon with how our wedding went. Winterthur is hands down the best choice you can make for a venue.

I cannot over emphasize how invaluable Melissa was from the moment that I arrived at Winterthur for a walk-through a year and a half ago to the moment I left my incredible reception 2 weeks ago. Melissa and her team were accommodating, knowledgeable, and communicative every step of the way. On top of that, Melissa was an all-around awesome person with the most calming demeanor.
It was raining on and off all through my wedding day. The ceremony was set to be outside so we had dozens of umbrellas at the ready in case the weather didn't agree with us. The team at Winterthur took what could have been a nightmare scenario and made it dreamy! There was an amazing team at the ready to hand out umbrellas to guests, keep seats dry, etc. And Melissa and her assistant coordinator Christine were so wonderfully chill and confident, it just shaped the whole vibe of the day in the most perfect way!
The reception was such a blast, and Melissa and her team were always 2 steps ahead anticipating anything that we might need. I work in catering and I was legitimately amazed by how smoothly Winterthur's event staff handled everything. Winterthur is a stunning venue and if your event is in Melissa's hands then it is bound to be a world class party!
