Maya Sent on 02/29/2024Incredible! Amanda is a God send too!
We were so pleased with the venue, the service, the food, the price point and Amanda!
I can’t even offer one criticism. We loved the various food options that allowed us to be on budget for a 200 person wedding. The food from cocktail hour to the buffet was absolutely yummy. Our guests enjoyed the space and food. And Amanda set up our sweetheart table and Memoey table/card/guestbook like a pro! It felt so good to just leave it in her hands and not have to worry. Her execution was flawless. She answered all my questions throughout the whole process and worked to accommodate any of our needs. I can’t thank her and the staff enough for making our day so special.
Also, my morning first look was partially ruined bc of us being so late and we were able to make up for it a bit by taking some breath taking pics in the bridal suite which is a beautiful place to have. I’m so grateful we had our reception here and I wouldn’t change a thing!
And I loved that they provide beautiful centerpieces- one less thing i had to buy or outsource! Our wedding was so elegant. Thank you Willows and Amanda!! -

Excellent Venue!
We were completely blown away by The Willows at Historic Strasburg! Every detail from the initial meeting to the food tasting to the actual wedding was absolutely wonderful! Amanda was amazing at keeping us informed and made the wedding day so special for us! Our guests gave many compliments on the food and said they never saw a wedding planner work so hard to make sure our day was everything we could have ever asked for! Thank you, Amanda, and The Willows staff! Highly recommend this venue! -

Amazing!
We had an amazing experience with the Willows. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and our guests had amazing things to say about the venue, the food, and the entire flow of the night. The grounds were beautiful and made for gorgeous photos. We worked with Amanda who is a total gem. She was so communicative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and was a lifesaver the day of. She seemingly though of everything. My fiance and I were both really excited for our cheese steak egg roll appetizers but missed them due to pictures and Amanda made sure we still got some. When I realized that I forgot our cake knife, she provided one, and when I brought some extra decor and said "I have this but have no idea what to do with it, she made it fit seamlessly. She also consolidated everything into fewer boxes to allow for easier transport back home and packed up food for us to bring back to our hotel. The waitstaff was so friendly and attentive. I got so many comments about how above and beyond they went including jumping in for a quick assist when there was a spill by a younger guest and even stepping in to take photos for a guest when asked. If I had to plan my wedding over again, I would 1000% percent choose the willows again. I have the most amazing wedding memories and The Willows played a huge role in that. I am so grateful. -

Best experience ever!
Amanda at The Willows was amazing to work with. It was an amazing day and Amanda made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Everything was perfect and everyone complimented us on how beautiful the venue looked and how amazing the food tasted. They couldn’t believe how great the food tasted. The service was amazing! The servers were always on top of it making sure empty glasses and plates were cleared off every table throughout the night. And Amanda always made sure throughout the night that we, the bride and groom, didn’t need anything. If we did she made sure to bring it to us directly. Amanda communicated with us throughout the entire time we were planning to have our reception at The Willows at Historic Strasburg. We had plenty of questions while planning our wedding and she always responded right away. I highly recommend The Willows at Historic Strasburg for your wedding. -

We had an amazing experience!
My wife and I just got married here and our experience was AMAZING! We live in AZ and planned the whole thing from out of state, Amanda and the whole staff were fantastic! She was so patient with us being disorganized and she made sure that the weekend ran smoothly. The indoor venue is gorgeous and the property outside is great for pictures. I also loved that the rehearsal dinner and the after-party for the Reception were at the Fireside tavern next door. Theres also 2 hotels on property so your guests have options and dont have to drive anywhere all weekend. I cant say enough good things about our experience, Amanda was seriously a saint throughout the entire planning process and the actual wedding weekend. We toured 3-4 other venues around downingtown/west chester before choosing the Willows and we are SO happy that we went with them. Cant beat it! -

We could not have chosen a better wedding venue for our special day. With an all inclusive package we didn't have to worry about a single thing. All of the set up and take down was taken care of for us, even the decorations that I made were carefully set out then packed up for us at the end of the night. The space was so beautiful that i would not have even needed my own decor if I didn't want to worry about it.
Their event coordinator Amanda went above and beyond and made everything flow so nicely. From the moment we expressed interest in having our event there until the end of the night of our wedding she handled every detail perfectly. Her communication was always prompt and kind.
The food was fantastic and everyone at the end of the night was saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had!
We just could not be happier with our choice and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the future. After pricing out many different options, The Willows was the best value without having to perform set up and take down ourselves. All in all for approx 100 people for a buffet of amazing food and not having to worry about a single thing we spent around $9600 including the venue, decor, food, and drinks (we had a cash bar). It was worth every penny. -

From the very beginning, correspondence with Amanda was prompt and informative. She makes planning and execution of a major event look easy! Amanda is an absolute asset to The Willows. She is helpful, caring, thoughtful, and takes her job very seriously. I would absolutely recommend booking your wedding at The Willows. You owe it to yourself! -

The Willows at Historic Strasburg is THE BEST venue in South Central PA! I cannot say enough good things about how amazing our experience was from start to finish. Amanda was incredibly responsive throughout our planning and as we finalized our guest counts, she even suggested an alternative reception layout that ended up being perfect for us and our guests. They made sure my husband and I felt extra special throughout our day and were incredibly kind. The food was amazing, and the space is beautiful. The venue has provided decor, but you are also allowed to add anything extra you would like, so we were able to add personal touches without lugging a bunch of stuff to the venue to worry about. The venue staff oversee setup and tear down of all your decor, so we could really focus on enjoying our day, and the convenience of having hotels within walking distance made it feel like a weekend resort getaway with our family and friends! It is impossible for me to describe all of the things that make this venue the absolute best, but The Willows and the staff there are true gems! Book them…you won’t regret it! -

We want to say a big thank you to you and the owners for making our big day so memorable! We had a blast! We hope you all did as well! Good luck with all the new newlyweds after us! You did an amazing job with everything we've asked for! Food was amazing, venue/ reception area was amazing! Our guests had a great time as well! Thank you for always being understanding and working with us through all the last minute changes. To all the future brides, they offer so much here as far as table decor, setting up, etc. I went very simple with my decor so they had it all! -

Despite of the COVID restrictions in place, we were able to have our reception meal the way that we wanted. The food was fantastic and our wedding planner, Amanda, was so helpful and catered to our every need. We would definitely recommend this venue for anyone considering having their wedding in regular times, as well as in COVID times. -

Best. Day. Ever.
We got married on November 20, 2021. We were originally supposed to get married on November 21, 2020. Postponing was hard, and the uncertainty was a bit much at times. Amanda, however, was beyond amazing and really helped us through this process! She was very diligent with reminding us of due dates and providing updates, and was easy to get in touch with. When the big day came, she always managed to be there exactly when we needed her, and even helped my mom bustle up my dress prior to the reception. She is a fabulous coordinator. The food was amazing; seriously, everyone was talking about it. Their famous tomato bisque really is that good! The servers were great, and one server even provided the wedding party food during cocktail hour so we wouldn’t miss it. Overall, the day was amazing and absolutely worth waiting for, and I would wholeheartedly recommend The Willows to anyone!
Also, the Fireside Tavern is great, we had a little after party at the bar! -
