My nephew's wedding was at Featherwinds and it was over the top. I watched in absolute joy and comfort. The grounds were lush, colorful and well kept. The staff was warm, welcoming and very helpful, even going out of their way to help us with a surprise photo display for the newly weds. My wife couldn't help but shed a few tears at the beautiful facility and decorations. The flowers Featherwinds did for the wedding were gorgous and looked like a million bucks. The buffet was back lit and was a sight to see in itself, not to mention the quantity of foods and the quality of foods were mouth watering. Portions of foods was more than you can believe and even the wedding cake portions were more like eating a piece of cake at home, not in a gourmet restaurant, but the flavor and quality was better than a gourmet restaurant.
The helpful staff made sure things went off without a hitch including decorations, timing, and keeping the bride and groom on task for doing the flower and garter toss. One of the staff even showed my nephew and lovely bride how to cut the wedding cake for photos and then the staff took the cake to the kitchen to cut and plate pieces for everyone.
The cake looked like something from a TV show, elegant and beautiful, a shame to have to cut it up! It was so nice and refreshing to be part of a wedding at such a classy facility with staff that really care. Alcohol was allowed in the celebration room and there was a lot (unfortunately). Most of the alcohol left for the after party where it was finished off (as I heard it).
Most of the guests stayed at the "resort" after the reception and continued the partying (for the younger crowd) at one of the lodges. We retired early to our room at the Bed and Breakfast that featured real feather beds! We slept so well we almost didn't make it down for the wonderful gourmet breakfast our host and hostess cooked for us. This is actually not the first time we've stayed at Featherwinds with all of our travels to Leavenworth and we are never disappointed! And always amazed and impressed.
It was nice to discuss the wedding and how Featherwinds came about doing weddings and what all they do. I would recommend Featherwinds not only for lodging, but for weddings and retreats.
You made my nephew (adopted son) and his wife so very happy! To the staff that cared so much, thank you with all of my heart.
