About Our Guest: 

In 1804, ES Jackson purchased the land now known as Windridge Estate to build the Estate Home. When MaryBeth and her husband Jack acquired the property in 2002, they became the eighth family to care for it. As lifelong residents of Upstate New York, they were initially captivated by the incredible views and outdoor opportunities. 

MaryBeth and Jack always recognized the untapped potential of the previously untamed land. Once their children left the nest in 2014, they decided to dedicate themselves to transforming the property into something truly extraordinary. What began as a vision soon turned into a passionate project, as they meticulously planned and executed every detail to elevate the estate. They invested countless hours in landscaping, restoring, and enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings, ensuring that every corner of the estate reflected their commitment to excellence. Their efforts paid off, and since then, Windridge Estate has become a sought-after destination for weddings and special events, offering a breathtaking backdrop that continues to captivate couples and guests alike. MaryBeth and Jack take great pride in sharing the estate's beauty with others, knowing that their labor of love has turned Windridge into a place where unforgettable memories are made.
