Mary Agatha Furth Center

While growing up in Windsor, I had been to the Furth Center for quinceañeras and school dances, so it just always seemed kind of boring or standard.
A couple of years ago, I was looking for a place to host our wedding reception. Anyone planning a wedding in Sonoma County knows that venues don’t come cheap. With a guest list of nearly 200, we were starting to freak out. The Furth Center came across my list and I decided to check it out again, just for the heck of it. The look we wanted for the wedding was an old Spanish mission feel and the Furth Center definitely delivered. It was like I was looking at it through a new set of eyes. I don’t know if they had remodeled or if I was just that blind when I was in high school, but it really is a gorgeous facility.
I had some concerns as the event date drew near, since the man I had been coordinating with ended up leaving and a new person was put in charge of my event. Many of the files had gone missing and a lot of the things he had promised were not written down. However, the new coordinator took care of everything (along with their facility manager– ugh, I wish I could remember her name!).
Our wedding reception was a hit and they really took care of us. The dance floor is pretty big and there is PLENTY of room for tables/​seating. They have a stage (where we put the dj) and they took care of setting up the tables and bars. I hired a cleaning crew to pick up after the event, since they’re not responsible for that, but that’s understandable. Their outdoor fountain area was perfect for pictures. The ceiling had white linen draped with twinkly lights, which really gave it a nice vibe. I’m so glad we booked with them! I would do it all over again! :)
