On this week’s episode of The Venue Rx Podcast, our host Jonathan Aymin sits down with Andy Sachs, owner of Winding Creek Farm in Virginia, to discuss the realities of purchasing, renovating, and operating a wedding venue. Andy shares his journey of transforming a historic property into a thriving event space, from navigating the acquisition and financing process to tackling unexpected renovation challenges and managing budgets. He dives into the strategies behind building bookings from scratch, effective marketing tactics, navigating local zoning regulations, and the importance of networking within the wedding industry.
About Our Guest:
Andy is the co-owner of Winding Creek Farm, a picturesque 20-acre wedding and event venue nestled in Lovettsville, Virginia. Alongside his wife, Alexa, Andy brings years of experience in real estate, property restoration, and design, with a shared passion for transforming spaces into places where people can connect and create lasting memories.
In 2025, Andy and Alexa Sachs took over Winding Creek Farm, embracing the opportunity to preserve the charm and history of its 126-year-old bank barn while bringing their own vision for hospitality and event experiences to life. Together, they are focused on creating a welcoming destination for weddings, private celebrations, and meaningful gatherings.
With a passion for thoughtful design, genuine hospitality, and bringing people together, Andy is helping write the next chapter of Winding Creek Farm while honoring the property's rich history and natural beauty.
