Her designs are intricate and beautiful. We got to choose our design from a huge selection. They were all very lovely. Henna application is a time consuming process, she made it fun with her stories of Henna history, she is quite the artist when it comes to story telling as well. Overall, it was a fun experience.

She also offered us the flexibility to allow us to use to the room to our best advantage. Everything was always clean and she attended to every detail. There is a lovely "living room" like set up in the adjacent area with fireplace, leather chairs and kitchen area. She always had water and a pot of hot water and coffee available for coffee or tea. She was always welcoming and accommodating. AFter some awful experiences with some other local venues, it was a joy to work with her!

I would recommend this venue for anyone looking for a place to hold an intimate at home feeling gathering without having to do all that getting ready. Her communication was great, the tables were all set out and looking lovely when we arrived and the courtyard was warm and inviting. Oh and the pricing is very competitive. Cannot wait to host another event at Windrose!

Heather Espana will exceed your expectations and imagination. Heather was wonderful to work with for our summer 2009 wedding. She put my camera-shy husband at ease and we have some amazing photos to show for our wedding day. She's talented, creative, and fun. On top of that, she takes timeless photos. Case in point: my grandmother was never one for smiling. I cannot find a photo of her in which she was really, genuinely smiling. But she had one of the most hilarious, unexpected (though not always dignified) laughs when she found something funny. At our wedding, Heather snapped the most spontaneous, truly "Grandma Pam" photo I've ever seen. Dancing with my brother to an Andrews Sisters tune, she was truly in her element, smiling widely and breathless from laughing, about two seconds away from declaring, "Oh! Youuuuu!" She died unexpectedly, nearly two months to the day that the photo was taken. Heather not only captured the essence of a moment, she captured a person, and I am so grateful I have that photo to remember her by.

Heather artfully crafts timeless photographs that weave vintage charm with a modern edge. She has an incredible way with light and like me, has a big crush on lens flare. We can't wait for our wedding for all the obvious reason and are excited to see it through Heather's brilliant eye.

Solid venue!!! I wish I had known about this venue when I got married. My client got married at…read morethis venue, and I was pleasantly surprised by the versatility and amenities this gem offers. Another thing I would like to note is that the venue manager, Nicole, is one of the "good guys" in the wedding industry. She doesn't want clients or vendors to feel alone in the process/on the big day, and truly went above and beyond in a way I don't see all venues do. Anyone who gets married here is in excellent hands.

Our daughter's wedding was held at the Old School House. The event was fabulous and the wedding…read morewas absolutely stunning. Few areas of concern was the landscaping and the grass only. The garden had taken a setback and the gardens were not properly cleaned up prior to the rehearsal and also the day of the wedding. The grass did not appear to have been freshly cut, no fresh mulch and there were some dead bushes near the areas where guests would be attending near the front of the building. The building was wedding ready and everything was functioning well! The day of manager was great to work with and all vendors appeared to know the venue well. The guests also loved the old feel of the building and it gave such a nostalgic and magical theme. Our family will always remember this day at the Old Schoolhouse with such fondness!

Just as there aren't words that could possibly express how much I love my husband, there are no…read morewords that can possibly express how thrilled I was with Christina Safford and her beautiful design for our wedding. I could see in my head what I wanted our wedding to look like but I couldn't really express it and I certainly didn't know how to make it happen. We had a destination wedding so we had our meetings with Christina over Skype. Somehow she not only figured out who we were as a couple but she knew exactly what we wanted. She was able to create a beautiful design that not only represented both the bride and the groom but also wowed our guests. Some of the comments I have heard or read since the wedding: "Seriously this wedding belongs on a TLC show" "I haven't been able to stop telling people about those centerpieces" and "that was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended"...thank you so much, Christina. It was so beautiful and the conversion was flawless. The wedding was simply magical. You were a huge part of the best night of my life and I feel lucky I got to work with you. Your staff was professional and efficient. You are a total professional and an amazing artist. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Because I wad in my home, I could get my feet done which was an extra treat. But the best part of all was how sensitive she was to this being a social time for my niece. She engaged her in conversation about goals and hopes at times but also backed out of conversation when it was just between the two of us. My niece and I got to bond and my niece also had confirmed her sense of belonging to the community of women. Thanks for being so wonderful!
