Best decision ever

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Willowdale! Due to the pandemic, we didn't see it in person before booking it, but when we finally got to take a tour a few months later, we knew we had made the right decision. And then come wedding day, Willowdale exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious (which you can't say about a lot of wedding venues!); the staff was nice and helpful; everything was clean, well-manicured and taken care of. Even though Willowdale hosts weddings multiple times a week, you can really tell they take great care of the space and keep it looking perfect and special for every single couple. And then there's the Willowdale team! From the start, they go above and beyond to make you feel confident in your decision — from answering questions in a timely manner, to sending thank you notes (and even a gift or two!) throughout the process. Jeannine was our designated coordinator and she took the time to answer our big and small questions about wedding day plans, really ensuring we felt good about everything and could go into wedding day stress free. We loved that Jeannine made sure we had snacks and drinks waiting for us in our getting ready suite after the ceremony, and that we could have a few minutes to take a breather, and then really appreciated when she made sure we sat down to have our dinner before it got cold. We really felt like Jeannine and Willowdale took a lot of our shoulders, enabling us to have a stress-free and wonderful wedding day. Thank you Willowdale team! We'd get marry at Willowdale over and over again if we could.

Perfect venue and team!!

They were amazing and so easy to work with! They did a perfect job setting up the decor and making it a seamless day with no stress for us. I can’t recommend it enough and our coordinator Julia was so helpful and responsive, she made the whole day so easy and we could just focus on having fun. She made sure to be ready with drinks and cocktail hour food waiting for us after the ceremony and kept our timeline on track. We had a perfect wedding day thanks to the whole team at Willowdale and our guests haven’t stopped raving about the food and how beautiful the venue is!

Wonderful!

My daughter was recently married at Willowdale Estate. Our experience was nothing short of magical, surpassing all our expectations.

From the moment we arrived, the staff at Willowdale Estate made us feel truly special. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring that our vision for the day was flawlessly executed. The venue itself exuded an elegant charm that added an extra layer of romance to our celebration.

One standout aspect for us was the impeccable service provided. Special thank you to Emily, our venue coordinator. The entire team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and make us feel completely at ease.

I wholeheartedly recommend Willowdale Estate to any couple looking for a picturesque and enchanting venue for their special day. Thank you, Willowdale Estate, for making my daughter’s wedding a night that we will never forget!
