When my (now) husband and I got engaged, soon the reality set in that I was now to become a full time wedding planner. The checklists started getting made with the first one on the list being “find a venue”. We knew we wanted an elegant, upscale, timeless wedding. The first thing that came to mind was an outdoor country club wedding. After touring a few, we realized this was not what we wanted due to unpredictable weather, inconvenience for out of town guests, and rustic vibes we were not trying to go for. Family recommended The Concourse so I reached out to Kylie. During our first tour we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The elegant experience that The Concourse provides is unmatched. (My favorite part being the neutral carpet, no one wants bright red or blue carpet in your wedding pictures.) During one of the most stressful times, stressing about weather and rain is something you can easily take off your plate by being indoors. This venue is perfect to have everything in one place from the rehearsal, to the ceremony, to the reception. Kylie is not only helpful, but goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. She is there every step of the way in the months and days leading up to the big day to make sure your vision becomes a reality. Everything from the set up, to the timing, to helping day-of making sure everything goes according to plan was more than what was even expected. People ask how our wedding went and all we can say is “perfect”. We are so grateful to everyone on The Concourse team, especially to Kylie. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding at Four Winds Farm and it was fantastic. We were able to setup and do a rehearsal on Friday and clean everything up on Sunday. Kinzie was very easy and professional to work with. She answered all questions in a very timely manner. We had our ceremony and reception in the upstairs loft. The Four Winds team did a fantastic job in flipping and setting the tables for dinner. We took pictures in the loft upstairs which is gorgeous. Our wedding was in November and we were still able to get some beautiful outdoor shots by the various trees, rolling prairies, and sheep barn. We were able to pick our beverage package with Four Winds and they did a great job keeping the bars stocked upstairs and downstairs. I highly recommended a wedding or any event gathering at Four Winds Farm.
