I hosted my wedding at The Meadow Wood in October 2024. The venue itself is stunning, and the outdoor garden area was one of the first features I fell in love with during my initial tour. Tara, our sales representative, was very friendly; however, several promises made to us were not fulfilled, leading to significant issues on our big day.
One of the main reasons I chose The Meadow Wood was the availability of multiple getting-ready rooms, which would allow my entire bridal party and family to prepare at the venue. My hair and makeup was scheduled to begin at 4:00 a.m., and with nine bridesmaids and family members on both sides, having everyone ready at the venue was crucial for ensuring we stayed on schedule for pictures. I paid $1,500 for early access, expecting the venue to open at 4:00 a.m. However, I was informed by Tara just two days before the wedding that the venue couldn't open until 6:00 a.m. This was not disclosed until after the full invoice had been paid. As a result, I had to make last-minute arrangements with my hotel to secure rooms, which caused significant delays to our timeline with both the coordinator and hair/makeup teams.
The wedding ceremony was held in the garden area, where Tara had assured us that 400 chairs would be available to accommodate our guest list. However, when I went to take pictures before the ceremony, I noticed there weren’t enough chairs. Both my family and event coordinators repeatedly asked the venue staff to bring out more chairs, but they were only added gradually and too late. Charles later explained that the venue only had about 290 chairs available for the outdoor space, despite Tara confirming multiple times, including just a week before the event, that all 400 guests would have seats. As a result, several guests were left standing during the ceremony, which was disappointing and unprofessional.
Additionally, we had planned a baraat with dancing before the ceremony and requested that water, chai, and coffee be provided outside for our guests. Tara assured us this would not be an issue, but Charles later informed me that the venue didn’t have the necessary license to serve anything outdoors, contradicting Tara's earlier assurances.
While The Meadow Wood is undeniably beautiful, with its elegant rooms and chandeliers, my experience was marred by poor communication and multiple unfulfilled promises. If I had known about these issues beforehand, I would have continued my search for a more reliable venue, especially for an early-morning Indian wedding. Unfortunately, the lack of transparency and the problems we encountered made this venue not worth the investment in my opinion.

Had our daughter's wedding there yesterday. Beautiful venue, entrance staircase magnificent. Wait staff outstanding especially Brenda, All 5 stars. The food cocktail hour was wonderful. Main course sadly not good. Everyone at our table that ordered steaks either received raw or very over cooked. The raw steaks were all sent back. Returned very over cooked or slightly less raw. Huge disappointment.Fish was terrible. No one ordered the chicken. The kids enjoyed their meals and cake was good. It was truly a wonderful night. Just really wish the main course measured up to the rest of our experience.

My experience with one of their staff, they are very rude. They will hang up the phone on you when you’re trying to communicate about a situation about the event that you are trying to hold. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to this place.

We could not have been happier with our experience! Our guests raved about the food- they were so impressed by the cocktail hour and could not believe the spread at dessert! The staff at the Meadow Wood are extremely helpful and worked hard to make sure our day was perfect! Tara was wonderful during the planning process and our wedding day was smooth and seamless.

Very gorgeous venue, had a fountain, pillars, shady areas for hiding from the sun, flowers, a bridge, etc. We didn't get to see much of the inside, as they didn't allow guests in (not sure if this was the Bride's choice or not, but we couldn't even go get drinks from the bar). Also not sure if it was the Bride's choice, but there was no music or microphone for the ceremony. Overall, the outdoor ceremony area was beautiful, plentiful parking, traversing in heels was pretty easy. 9/10 could have used refreshments on a 75 degree sunny day.
