Beautiful Spot

We used Edison Ford Winter Estates for our May wedding ceremony and it was a beautiful experience. Maisen was awesome to work with, she was so helpful before and the day of the ceremony. She has such a calming presence, I felt safe and confident with her (which is important when you’re an anxious bride)! Our ceremony was held in the courtyard between two of the homes and we took pictures all over the grounds. We did not have to bring any of our own decor because the spot is already beautiful and filled with flowers. Maisen and other workers helped escort me, my bridal party and my disabled guests on golf carts to the location from the parking lot which I really appreciated. Overall great choice!

We had a blessing with the venue and especially Lindsey!!! The location is beautiful, very tranquil and magical~ Nearing the wedding day, Lindsey was able to accomodate us for our changes due to weather. She did an amazing job helping us at the wedding rehearsal and on the wedding day!! Thank you so much, you made our wedding day very special!!!

They were an integral part of the best day of our lives!

Having our wedding at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. The entire team was incredible from start to finish, the venue was GORGEOUS, and our guests have told us multiple times that this was the best wedding and most beautiful venue they've attended.

Seriously, we cannot praise or thank the team enough for all they did to make our day extra special!
