Winfrey Point?

bbybluz77

Has anyone had their wedding reception at Winfrey Point? Could you tell me how it went or post pictures? I have only found a few photos online where it seemed that people didn't do much decoration inside the space.  We are thinking about having the ceremony at the Arboretum, then the reception at Winfrey Point. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

We have lots of Knotties that have used Winfrey Point.  Both venues are lovely --I'm just curious why you don't use one or the other for both the ceremony and reception? 

Knottie Marlene got married there.  Here is her bio.

Actually Donna's wedding was at the Filter Building off of White Rock Lake.

Oh you are so right!  I always get those two mixed up!

I don't want to use either one for both the ceremony and reception for a couple of reasons. I LOVE the arboretum and would like to have my ceremony there. However, they have very restrictive rules for the reception venues, and over $5k for just the venue is really more than I want to pay. I really want a night time wedding with lots of candle light, which I can't do at the Arboretum. Winfrey Point is very budget and DIY friendly. I like that we're allowed to do whatever we want with the space - I can hang lanterns, wrap the trees with lights, use lots of candles, pick my own caterer, etc. Winfrey Point doesn't really fit what I have in mind, though, for the ceremony. I want something relatively formal, like A Woman's Garden.

Sorry for the long explanation.

I think that would be a great combination.  All I know about Winfrey Point is that it books really fast.  And I know Marlene was really happy with it.

I had my wedding at Wnfrey Point and loved it.  It does book up really fast though.
