CORPORATE AND SPECIAL OCCASION TESTIMONIALS
The care, support, flexibility and help that was provided by each person on the Woodwinds team in helping to coordinate such a special event for the people we support at SARAH Tuxis was excellent and, is what is going to keep us coming back for what we can only hope is going to be an annual soiree.
Our party enjoyed themselves, the food was marvelous, and people who were able to attend Woodwinds for the SARAH Tuxis Winter Formal have not been able to stop talking about it. Our experience was a great one, and we look forward to booking a date for a 2020 Semi-Formal event as soon as possible.
Looking forward to planning our next event with you.
Best,
Brieanne Vinyard, Recreation and Respite Coordinator

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to the entire team on all of your help throughout this entire process as well as your hostesses, cooks, wait staff, bartenders and shuttle driver for their services during the event.
The venue looked absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious and everything looked just great. We have already received such wonderful feedback from our staff.
From our perspective, we couldn’t have asked for better event planners to work with. You seriously blew us away with your customer service and awesome attitude.
Thank you!

I want to thank all of you for your excellent service in handling my daughter and niece’s 1st Holy Communion. Your service, the quality and quantity of the food, and the consistently pleasant and positive attitude at Woodwinds are second to none! The tables were beautiful, and the up-lighting was spot on. Through many emails, phone calls and such, everyone was always so pleasant and helpful. It was a perfect day!
Thank you so much!

Everything was AMAZING!
You all were just beyond accommodating, helpful, supportive and truly helped make our event a success. We are already discussing our event for next year so you should hear from us soon!

You are all so amazing at what you do and we are so grateful you were able to fit us in for our daughters christening! Your staff go out of their way to make sure everyone is happy and that everyone is enjoying themselves. I was getting my newborns bottle out of her diaper bag and when one of your staff saw, she came over to ask me if I needed hot water to heat her bottle. I was blown away by her care and concern for our daughter. You truly make our events memorable. We look forward to working with you next year when our oldest daughter makes her First Holy Communion! Woodwinds is the only venue we would consider for our family. Thank you again from the bottoms of our hearts!

We sent out a survey to all the attendees and only received positive feedback about the venue. It was absolutely beautiful and well organized! We appreciate all of your hard work in making our event possible! I absolutely loved the location of the Woodwinds 😃 We would also love to thank you for all of the accommodations you made for us leading up to and the day of our event! It was such a pleasure working with EVERYONE at the Woodwinds!

On behalf of the ACES Education Foundation Board members, the Gala committee and our friends, we would like to thank you for a lovely night on March 22, particularly with threats of postponing due to weather. You were especially considerate and generous in offering us the option of another evening in April.
Parking issues were not raised as we thought they might be with snow covered parking areas, and the room set up, though, a concern due to ever increasing registrations, was fine. Of course as you can imagine having an increase in the number of guests was a wonderful problem for us to manage.
And finally the food, the presentation, and your very accommodating staff, contributed to a lovely evening. We should have used the second bar, however, everyone, including your bar tenders, was patient.
Ken, Vanessa, and the staff setting up the room were so helpful and pleasant, it is obvious they have extensive experience with such events.
Thank you again,

Thank you so much for such a great event! We’ve been receiving feedback since last week and everything has been positive. Our attendees complimented the gorgeous venue along with the delicious food! I am so happy that we chose your venue for our event, the service, location, atmosphere was perfect and we were extremely pleased with the night overall. A big win and all thanks to Vanessa, Tony, Scott & the rest of the WoodWinds staff. I will certainly keep you in mind for the next event and will be sure to pass the word around to my colleagues.
Until next time

Thank you and your team for ensuring that our ACES Education Foundation Gala was a success. You and your team did an outstanding job in making sure that everything ran smoothly – even accommodating a last-minute request for a gluten-free meal. It was a pleasure holding our event at Woodwind’s. We hope we can work together again.

It was a terrific event. I enjoyed working with Scott, and the food was delicious! I especially appreciated how accommodating all of your staff were when our guest of honor experienced a death in her family and we almost needed to postpone. Everyone I spoke to was so thoughtful and generous. I would gladly recommend Woodwinds to others.
Warmly,

A special thanks to WoodWinds and their staff for their tremendous hospitality, which was instrumental to making the evening an incredible one of food, fellowship, and philanthropy!

Dear Scott:
On behalf of the Guilford Saving’s Bank’s Corporators, Trustees, and Officers, thank you for making our Corporators’ Dinner on January 23, 2014 such an enjoyable event.
As always, GSB received many compliments about the WoodWinds’ appetizers, good food and excellent service! Your assistance in helping me organize the event and your attention to detail was great appreciated. Even at the last minute, where GSB requested the Dinner be rescheduled due to pending snowstorm, the WoodWinds graciously accommodated our request.
Please extend my sincerest thanks to Sarah, also. Not only did she provide valuable assistance with our Corporators’ Dinner event, but she also answered all our questions and provided great ideas for the Bank’s Retirement Party for our CEO… both events scheduled for the same week!
I enjoyed working with you and your team. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Janet L. Ciszek
