Wedding Toasts & Speeches
Your dad stands up with shaking hands. Your maid of honor forgets half of what she wrote and just talks about how you always show up for each other. The best man toes the line between embarrassing and heartfelt, and your grandmother grabs the mic for an extra blessing. These are not performances. They are small, imperfect love letters read out loud while everyone raises a glass in your direction. In both the Barn and The Lake House, the head table, mic, and dance floor sit close together so the focus stays where it should be, on the people speaking and the two of you taking it all in.
When the people who know you best finally put their stories and love into words.
Plan Your Program
When you think about toasts, you are really wondering if people will be able to see, hear, and feel the moment. Windmill Winery’s reception layouts keep the speaker near the head table and dance floor, with clear sightlines from every table. Your DJ has an easy place for speakers to stand with the mic, and photographers can move without blocking anyone’s view. During your tour, stand where you imagine sitting for dinner and picture who will be speaking from that spot. If you get goosebumps, you are in the right room.
