From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Maidenwood, their communication was prompt, open, and incredibly flexible. The venue itself is marvelous - a modern, woodsy space that perfectly captured the vibe for our forest fairytale. Throughout the entire planning process and on the day of, the Maidenwood team went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I felt taken care of. They anticipated our every need and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly. We cannot thank Steve and Jana enough for everything they did both in front of and behind the scenes. The end result was a wedding day that exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests could not stop raving about how magical the ceremony, reception and general landscaping of it all was. We are so grateful to Maidenwood for making our special day truly unforgettable.
