Wedding Venues We Love: The Windamere
There are few things I love more than a beautifully renovated historic wedding venue. The Windamere, located in Middletown, Ohio, is a bank turned wedding venue. They go above and beyond in the services that they provide, and truly aim to create a unique and high-end experience for couples who get married there.
One of the unique features of this wedding venue is that it has not one, but two vaults. The upstairs vault serves as their bar area. Guests love to be able to actually go inside and check it out as they get their drinks. The second vault is located downstairs and has been converted into ‘The Stag Room’, one of two rooms couples can use to get ready for their wedding day.
As a photographer, there are so many things I love about this venue. Not only does it have historic charm and so much character- it also has incredible lighting. They have giant windows all along one wall that light the room. Couples getting married here have their ceremony right in front of the gorgeous windows (unless they tie the knot off-site). It has all the beautiful light of an outdoor wedding ceremony and none of the weather-related risk. In Ohio, that is a huge win.
In additional to being absolutely gorgeous, the Windamere also offers a unique experience to couples who have their wedding there. If you get married there, you can personalize a safety deposit box in their vault and lock all your wedding day keepsakes inside. It’s sort of like a wedding day time capsule. It’s such a fun detail that is totally one of a kind. I love the idea so much.
