The Windamere

The Windamere is a wedding and event venue in downtown Middletown, Ohio, set inside the historic Oglesby Barnitz Bank building. Its distinctive features include a high barrel-vaulted ceiling, original bank vaults, broad windows and terrazzo floors, giving organisers a memorable backdrop for both formal occasions and relaxed gatherings.

The venue welcomes weddings, corporate functions, training sessions, seminars, networking events, showers, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and reunions. Flexible room layouts can accommodate groups from around 20 to 200 guests, with the space available for half-day or full-day corporate bookings. Couples can hold their ceremony and reception at the same location, and wedding bookings include exclusive use of the venue, a day-of coordinator, set-up and pack-down, tables, chairs, linens and access to separate bridal and stag preparation rooms. Smaller wedding packages are also available.

For social celebrations, packages can include tables, cushioned chairs, floor-length linens, simple centrepieces, set-up and on-site staff support. Organisers may choose their own licensed caterer, while the venue can arrange hosted bar options and beverage service. Corporate events can also use in-house audiovisual support, with staff handling room preparation and pack-down.

The Windamere combines venue hire with practical planning assistance, helping organisers manage timelines, vendors and event logistics. Its on-site event team can support bookings at the venue, while its sister planning business also offers help for events held elsewhere. The venue’s historic character, event-specific facilities and choice of packages make it suitable for planners seeking a distinctive setting for weddings, business gatherings and personal celebrations.
