Venue Testimonials
We chose Greenwoods for our wedding, and it was out of this world. They took care of absolutely everything, and nothing was too much trouble. The service, the food, the venue itself, the planning — honestly couldn't fault it. Shannen and Christie (the wedding coordinators) are a credit to their profession and to the hotel. If you're after somewhere for a spa break or for a huge event, don't look anywhere else.

Beautiful decor, attentive staff and delicious food made this a gorgeous wedding venue. Social distancing was carefully observed, and it was clear how hard the staff were working to make things work.
Alison H
My wife and I were married here, and it was a wonderful experience! Our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to help make our day perfect, the rooms were lovely, and the grounds were gorgeous. Our friends came in from out of town and stayed here before the wedding as well, and they had a lovely stay and enjoyed the walks available in the area.
