Love Letters

We hope you all had a joyful holiday season and 2013 is treating you well! We are so excited about the new year and cannot wait to share each weekend with our amazing couples.

We have received some amazing reviews, so we would like to send a huge THANK YOU for all the love. These words mean the world to us!
"We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Winfield Inn in May 2012. We had such a great experience with Winfield in every possible way. April, Robyn, and the team were wonderful to work with. We were planning our wedding from NYC, so we really relied on their help. They were extremely responsive to all of our requests -- they never went more than a day before calling or emailing us back, and they went above and beyond with our requests. We contacted them perhaps an excessive number of times with questions, and they never made us feel like we were imposing and were always so willing to be helpful. For example, we had a band we were interested in from Dallas that we didn't know much about, and the Winfield team called the band for us, sought out references, and helped us get the information we needed to make a decision (and the band turned out to be amazing!). They even helped us pick out locations for our rehearsal dinner and for brunch with our guests. They also provided a lot of recommendations for vendors that they had worked with previously, and we used several of those vendors, all of whom turned out to be wonderful. They really made our wedding as stress-free as possible. The day of the wedding, they really took charge, worked with all of our vendors directly to get things set up, and made sure things were running smoothly throughout the day/night -- it made the experience so easy for us. The food was also amazing and definitely not your standard wedding fare. The whole atmosphere of the venue is really so special too. The house and grounds are gorgeous, and when the sun goes down they have really beautiful lighting that makes everything look truly stunning. We can't recommend the Winfield Inn highly enough!"

Teress & Ken's wedding has also been posted on their photographer's blog... check it out! Thank you, Melissa for sharing and we look forward to working with you again soon!

Love Letters from our Newlyweds

We just received a notification that we have two new reviews on Wedding Wire & Wedding Channel! Thank you ladies so very much for these sweet words! It truly means the world to us to know how happy you are with the Inn and our staff. This summer has been incredible and we only have you to thank!
XOXO

"

I love everything about the Winfield Inn!! The mansion, the grounds, the staff, the food, you name it! Robyn was our planner and she was there every step along the way. Our wedding was perfect and I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else!!!"

~ Rebecca & Michael, 6.30.2012 

"The Winfield Inn was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. Every single person on staff (Especially April and Robyn) was immensely helpful when I had a question and they were always very quick to respond, even though they had tons of other weddings going on too. The venue is breath-takingly beautiful. If you are looking for an outdoor venue with Southern charm in the Austin, TX area, this is the one. The grass is so green everywhere and they have lots of lovely plants and big trees on the property. I felt like I was constantly changing things and revising what I wanted from them, but they were extremely flexible and willing to work with me. They also did their best to help me keep the cost down as much as possible. 
On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to do a single thing. I brought all the centerpieces, but they did all of the setting up and decorating. They made sure me and my bridesmaids had everything we needed while getting ready and were willing to get anything we didn't have right away. Our ceremony was perfect and then we headed to the reception. Their catering is DELICIOUS. We went with the barbecue and people have been talking about it for the past 2 months. Everything else on their menu sounded so tasty too though, so it was hard to choose. Also, about 1 month prior to our big day, they set up a tasting/date night for you to come and try all your food. They give you wine and bring out all of your courses and allow you to give feedback on what you like/don't like or what you would like changed. 
I really can't say enough good things about the Winfield Inn. I am so so so happy we had our wedding there. I wouldn't change a thing."

Best Customer Service in Austin Period posted 2/21/2012
Although we chose to have a destination wedding, Winfield Inn was our #1 choice in Austin! I can tell you I did my due diligence and researched every venue, and corresponded with every venues representatives in the greater Austin area. Winfield Inn is not only a beautiful lovely venue but the staff was so sweet, warm, inviting, SUPER responsive, and accommodating. I cannot say enough kind words about planner April who was our conusultant. She was amazing! What a breath of fresh air it was to tour Winfield Inn and talk with April about our wedding after touring all the other venues and dealing with their lackluster correspondence/enthusiasm...Winfield blew everyone out of the water!!! In addition, we thought Winfield was a fabulous bargain with their all-inclusive services! Cheers Winfield Inn, we will definitely sing your praises to anyone who will listen! Ashley and Nicholas

We Love The Knot!!!

We know The Knot takes care of our brides by offering info about anything and everything that has to do with weddings, which is one of the many reasons we love advertising with them. Another reason is that they take care of us, too! April and I had the opportunity to attend an event of theirs and were blown away by what they had prepared. Aside from the spectacular hors d'oeuvres, refreshing drinks, and oh so tempting gelato (yumm!) they prepared a presentation about our amazing Austin brides! They help us get to know you and what you want for your wedding. And after all, this is your wedding!

Since The Knot is THE top wedding website and magazine, they of course offer brides so many fun décor and wedding ideas. It was no surprise that they had so many amazing details at the event. We wanted to share some of our faves:

FOOD! The fabulous menu fit the time of year and location perfectly!! As we walked in the door, we were wowed by mini duck burgers, plantain chips dusted with powdered sugar, lettuce wraps and spring rolls with fresh crab. The duck burgers were SO incredible and one thing that I would have never thought to add to an event!

DÉCOR! They set up white cabanas throughout the grounds, had lounge chairs at ever single corner and flowers that cascaded down each beam. It was fresh and vibrant without being overdone. They also had some very tan cabana boys walking around with spritzer and frozen grapes… need we say more?!

FAVORS! As we left, we were handed a goodie bag filled with all sorts of fun! One thing that stood out was the flip book. What a great idea! This would be such a great and entertaining gift to hand out to your guests. Check them out at www.flipitsonline.com
April has a little.. well big sweet tooth and she loved the sugar cookie favors made by FB&C. They looked AND tasted wonderful. Their website is www.FBandC.com

So The Winfield Inn would like to send a huge THANK YOU to The Knot for all that you do!

" The Knot, Best of Wedding Pick 2008 and 2009"
