BOLI Love!
The venue itself is beautiful and the grounds at East Wind are STUNNING. We wanted a venue that had a combination of a rustic and modern look, and this venue has it all. Although there are other weddings that can be going on at the hotel the same day, the Estate is a separate building and I like how you’re the only wedding there. The hotel being on site is another bonus as it’s super convenient for your out of town guests to stay at. Our sales rep that we were assigned to was Nicole. She was absolutely amazing! Nicole always answered my million phone calls and emails right away. I’m so happy that we had her for the months leading into our big day. Two other people that we need to give a HUGE shoutout to are our Maitre’d Tony and Bridal Attendant Mary Lou. They both went above and beyond for us the entire day. Anything we needed or wanted, they delivered and made us feel so at ease. Could not recommend this venue more!!
Beautiful place! Thank you to East Wind for doing it all to ensure we had an amazing wedding day! From day one to even beyond, East Wind staff treated us like family. Special Thanks to Penny, TK, and Reid at East Wind for all their assistance on our wedding planning, day of, and our hiccups, we greatly appreciate you!
We couldn’t have been happier choosing East Wind for our wedding venue. The whole process was seamless, from planning through the wedding day itself. Jennifer made our lives easy leading up to the wedding and their staff was incredible on the day of our wedding. Incredible service, delicious food, and great attitudes from the whole staff allowed us to truly enjoy our special day. If you are looking for a place to get married, East Wind is the place!
I'm so happy we chose The Estate at East Wind for our wedding venue! Everything was perfect and we could not have asked for a better day! We got so many compliments on the food, we loved the cocktail hour and reception spaces, and having the hotel right next door made the experience very convenient for our guests. Everyone we worked with was extremely accommodating and attentive including our sales rep, Jennifer; our Maitre D, Tony; and our bridal attendant, Mary Lou. They truly made the experience special and helped the day run smoothly. I would highly recommend East Wind for your special day!
