An Overview

The timeline below should give you a good idea of the steps leading up to your event and what items will need to be completed with Lake Windsor as your venue. Use the button on the right to get a printable checklist!

1. Sign your contract and pay your 50% room deposit to officially secure your date (this is likely already completed if you are here).

2. Check out our FAQ page to see some common questions and answers that many of our couples ask

3. Take a look at our catering menu which can be found under the catering section of the website

4. Sign up for a tasting (if catering through Lake Windsor) - we will reach out throughout the year to invite you to sign up for one of our tasting dates. Tastings are a good way to sample a variety of what we have to offer on our banquet menu- decide on food choices.

5. Six months out from your event - pay your remaining room charge. This deposit acts as the same as your first deposit and will go towards your final event bill. This would also be a good time to reach out about hosting a rehearsal dinner at Lake Windsor if that’s something you’re looking to do.

6. Two months out from your event - schedule your final plans meeting. Expect one of our staff members to reach out to you around this time and get your final plans meeting scheduled. You can expect to go over details such as food options, room layout, beverage options, timeline, etc.

7. One month out from your event - send over and confirm your meal counts and any food/beverage details that you want to finalize. From this point up until 48 hours out from your event, meal counts can’t decrease from this final number, but can increase. Final payment is due. Expect to receive a final invoice from one of our staff members leading up to this, payments must be made by this deadline.
