Lake Windsor Country Club Reviews

Lake Windsor is a gorgeous venue for a wedding and the staff was outstanding! Our coordinator, Reuben Vandehey, was beyond helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. They answered all of our questions, were patient and made our wedding day absolutely flawless and beautiful! Our guests are still raving about the appetizers and food served. The food was on time and hot! It was so great to have everything we needed (all services provided) on site instead of having to hire outside vendors. It made the planning process that much easier and less stressful. Lake Windsor has it all and we would pick them again in a heartbeat!

Lake Windsor was the absolutely perfect venue for us. We had the upstairs ballroom area and it held our 150 person wedding very comfortably. We utilized one side for bags, pong, and other games while the other side was the bar/dance area. Kristy was our coordinator and assured everything went smoothly from the very beginning. From touring the venue and sampling the catering options to pre-wedding agenda assistance and day-of check-ins. Cannot say enough good things about Lake Windsor or Kristy! Not to mention, the catering was delicious. Many of our guests mentioned it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Would highly recommend.

The venue is stunningly beautiful and the service is impeccable. Our meals and drinks were delicious and served by polite and courteous wait staff and bartenders.
Christy our Event Coordinator is such a professional. She was available and responsive to all our needs, right from the very beginning when we first met with her 2 years prior to our special day. She walked us through the process and was very detailed and organized.
On our wedding day she was spot on with timing during the ceremony and was available to us if needed, in addition to managing a second wedding in the other space at the venue.
Our day was perfect thanks to all the efforts made by Christy and the staff at Lake Windsor Country Club!

My husband and I held our ceremony and reception at Lake Windsor Country Club. We booked in mid 2021 for our August of 2022 wedding, which we did from only seeing it online, never in person, and it was the best decision we've made. Our wedding coordinator was Patrick and he was INCREDIBLE. Cool as a cucumber, so ready and willing to help, BEYOND accommodating to us at every turn. Any time I felt stressed his response was "we can take care of that, no problem." The best person to have around in a stressful situation. The venue was just gorgeous. Many guests told me it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to. The large windows and all the natural light? You just can't beat it. Because we had a larger wedding, we decided to rent both the upstairs and downstairs of the venue to ensure we were the only wedding there that day and although it was more money, it was money well spent. Everyone had space to move around and the kids could go outside and play. It gave us a separate level for cocktail hour which was great. I highly recommend it if you have a large wedding and can spare the cash. The food: So delicious. Not only did my husband and I think it was amazing, but our guests LOVED the food! Some of the best food I've had at a wedding. Again, we had a BIG wedding, so a lot of people to serve and we did plated dinners and the quality didn't suffer at all! The staff served our guests quickly and were so helpful! They are a well oiled machine and there were no hiccups. The bartenders had a great energy and were really pleasant to be around. I don't throw around the word "perfect" very often, but our wedding was perfect. All the planning and the vision I had in my head came true by Patrick and this incredible staff. I would recommend Lake Windsor Country Club to ANYONE, and wish I could relive the day over and over again. They are simply the best and I have no complaints! THANK YOU!!!

Beautiful venue! We had our wedding here in the Crystal Commons space w/ an outdoor ceremony and we couldn't have been happier. The staff was very helpful on the big day and helped us with everything we needed. The event coordinator was very knowledge and answered all of our questions/provided all of the guidance that we needed to help get us through the planning process. The food was good and the bar staff was very friendly. Would recommend!

Lake Windsor is honestly the best place in Madison they are just perfect in everything (place with view,best place for photo shooting,most delicious food and great space for party)Kristin was very helpful and nice.

We LOVE Lake Windsor Country Club!! It was the first venue we looked at and booked it immediately. The chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows everywhere are stunning, the food is great, and the outdoor gazebo and golf course is beautiful. Kristy is wonderful to work with and always answered my many many questions. The days of rehearsal and wedding she was so helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better more beautiful venue!

Lake Windsor Country Club was the most beautiful place for our October wedding! Kristy was amazing and answered all of my questions. She made me feel confident planning a wedding from 1,000 miles away. Lake Windsor was so accommodating and professional, and we highly recommend them!

Working with them to plan and coordinate:
Absolutely fantastic. Huge props to Kristy. We had to postpone TWICE - our original wedding date was October 2020 - and there was no problem either time; deposits transferred, we found a new date. I read about other venues on the internet and there were some horror stories -- you will not have any problems at Lake Windsor if something unfortunate comes up. As you approach the date and need to get final details coordinated, again, Kristy is absolutely on top of things and will answer all your questions, provide helpful suggestions, and just generally be great to work with.

Physical space:
Very nice. We had a smaller wedding than some and so could use the smaller, downstairs room. I've actually attended a wedding in the upstairs room as guest a few months ago as well. Both are very nice, but I have to say the downstairs is even nicer because you get access to the outdoor patio space for basically the entire evening. We had guests out there all evening except during dinner, it provided a great spot to chill out and have a conversation while others were tearing up the dance floor inside. There is nice landscaping right near the venue and a well-manicured golf course beyond. Some flowering trees if you're there at the right time of year will make for some great photos.

Amenities:
The arch that they provided for our ceremony, and all the little things like chairs, tablecloths, etc, all good. They have a handheld mic and speakers that are perfectly good to carry voices. There's a little "locker room" area off of each of the bathrooms where the bridesmaids and groomsmen can stash their stuff, but there's nothing stopping anyone from walking in there. The bathrooms themselves are clean, well-maintained, etc.

Bar:
The bartenders did a great job, were professional, courteous, helpful, quick. Mixed good drinks. The venue is able to stock just about anything if you give them enough notice -- we had Zombie Dust on draft. They also had a Keurig set up next to the bar so you can keep the party going. I forget what they stocked it with but it was good - I was double-fisting an iced coffee and a margarita for a while and couldn't decide which I liked more.

Food:
Not a standout - for what you're paying per plate, you'd get a better meal at a nice restaurant - but I am impressed at what they managed to produce at industrial scale, feeding hundreds of people all at once. It was good, good portions, and they distributed it out to tables efficiently. We didn't do a wedding cake, opting for a selection of pre-plated desserts that guests could go up and get from a dessert table, and those were all delicious.

Summary:
Everything was at minimum very good, with most aspects being excellent. The true standout is Kristy. Management, give her a raise, you want to retain her! Would I recommend this venue? Absolutely, particularly if you have a small enough guest list to use the downstairs space (& therefore the patio).

We’re very excited to have our wedding at lake Windsor country club. They have been very flexible and professional in the booking process!

Beautiful venue, staff is very well organized, super helpful day of.

The Windsor Country Club is down right beautiful. With their glass doors for guest to walk through to their baby grand piano. We had many guest comment on how stunning the hall looked. I want to say that besides the looks, our event planner Mike at the Windsor Country Club, made everything go so smooth and made it super easy and relaxing for us. There is nothing better than having a wedding planner for your wedding, especially when they work for the hall you chose. Mike was fantastic, he planned everything out with us and on the wedding everything went as planned. He took thorough notes and was very timely. I would highly recommend the Windsor Country Club for your big day!

Lake Windsor was everything we wanted and more. We worked with Mike and he was able to accommodate any needs we had for our 300+ guest New Years Eve wedding. We had our entire day at LW. We had pictures taken before our ceremony around the course, held our ceremony upstairs, leading into cocktail hour, dinner, and an awesome night dancing! Everything that night ran so smoothly with the help and guidance of Mike and his staff. We had so many guests compliment the venue and night. The food portions were outstanding and all was so reasonably priced. We were so thrilled with how our big day turned out. Thanks LW for an unforgettable wedding!

We recently got married at Lake Windsor CC in early December and it was an absolute dream. Kristy P. and her team did everything so well and allowed our day to unfold smoothly without any hiccups. We had a blast! Many of our guests complimented the natural beauty of the venue in addition to how nice the staff (Kristy, servers, bartenders) were. We highly recommend Lake Windsor CC!

We had an amazing wedding reception at Lake Windsor Country Club in the Crystal Commons room. The staff members were all very nice and attentive. Mike was outstanding, he took care of everything without us even noticing. Everything was well planned out weeks in advance so that there was nothing to worry about in the few days leading up to the wedding. The venue was beautiful and did not require much in the way of decorating, which was great! We loved that everything was included, and the food was cooked on-site; there were no surprises when it came to final prices. Our guests could not stop raving about the food. The golf course was a beautiful back drop for day and night photos. Rick who was helping at the bar that night was very attentive and took the time to call the hotels and arrange extra shuttle service after one of the shuttles broke down.

We wanted a fall-themed wedding and we were able to use real pumpkins for the ceremony and reception. The food was delicious and we had no issues with our coordinator. Everything was just perfect.

Awesome to have indoor or outdoor option for ceremony, as well as having bar, food, tables (everything) available on site. Mike made the day of stress free and made sure we had everything we needed. We were able to decorate the day beforehand (may not be possible if the day beforehand has a wedding). Food was decent; great feedback from guests (we also got the cheaper options).

Phenomenal! The manager, Mike, was an absolute joy to work with. He made everything so easy and made sure everything went smoothly at the day of and the days before. The staff is amazing. The food is sublime seriously I cannot say enough about their salmon. And the setting is just magical. It created the perfect ambience for my Gatsby botanical wedding and after a month of being married I still have people gushing about how gorgeous everything was at this venue.

Lake Windsor Country Club is beyond incredible!! There is no other place in the greater Madison area where you can get married for an affordable price that is this beautiful with phenomenal food and attentive and professional employees. Katie was our event coordinator and I cannot say enough great things about her- she was attentive to EVERY SINGLE detail, professional, and made sure we were well taken care of. Their communication is incredible and they make sure everything is finalized before your big day. I cannot say enough great things about this place! Our guests were so impressed and every single guests of ours was so impressed by the food.

Everything went smoothly, service, quality of food, overall perfect!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about lake Windsor! beautiful venue amazing food and helpful staff.

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at Lake Windsor country club. Everything was perfect! Brandie was our event coordinator and she was fabulous! She was such a delight & helped so much! From working with our timeline to changing our dinner entrees. The venue was exceptionally clean & had easy access for our guests. The layout is perfect. We had the upstairs commons, our dj was set up in the right wing, the sound mostly stayed in the wing with the dj. Made it easy for our guests to socialize! My husband and I would recommend this beautiful venue to anyone !

Very impressed with everything at Lake Windsor. Our coordinator, Brandie was so very helpful and flexible with everything. The staff and were great and always had a smile on and the venue inside and out was beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding and venue to have it at.

Our daughter’s wedding was Sun Oct 7 and we are still reveling in the memories of a nearly perfect wedding experience at Lake Windsor! Katie Bohnert was there every step of the way to guide us through the process of planning the wedding, hiring vendors, and finalizing all the details. Since the couple live in another state, the planning was complicated, but Katie coordinated the decision making and communication smoothly. The venue was beautiful and spacious indoors and the outdoor grounds added to the beauty. Even though it rained and we had to change the plans from an outdoor to an indoor ceremony, the Lake Windsor staff made the transition seamless. Our guests loved the food and the portions were large... great for our hungry crowd. The dance floor was large and allowed us to fully enjoy the dancing. The bartender and waitstaff were friendly and professional and served our guests well.
For the venue and the services we received we felt the cost was very reasonable for a Sunday wedding. The bridal couple are really thankful to have had such a perfect wedding and reception. Thanks to you all at Lake Windsor for your part in making this happen... esp you Katie! 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏

Brandi, the event coordinator, did an amazing job preparing us for our wedding day celebration. She took a lot off stress of us by making sure that the day went as we had planned. Can't express enough how helpful she was to us.
