Book this venue!
We booked for the entire weekend which was so helpful in the fact that we were able to decorate on Friday and clean up on Sunday. This took off so much stress for Saturday and allowed me and the people helping to have a more relaxing Saturday to really soak everything in. The cabin and the farmhouse being available for the bridal party was huge for us because we had 12 people on each side. We were also able to use the venue for our rehearsal dinner which was really nice to have everyone on site for the whole weekend.
Also, book the coordinator! Megan and Callie were amazing. They had every little detail taken care of and were so incredibly helpful through the entire process. I’m a total control freak and I felt so comfortable just giving them the reigns. We could not have done it without them.
Overall such an amazing experience at an amazing venue with amazing people. BOOK IT!
The perfect venue!
We would have been happy with just the venue, but we also had the best experience working with Callie. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. She was SO responsive, helpful, calm and on top of all the little details. She answered so many questions for us throughout the entire planning process and made sure we felt comfortable. Her and husband were there the whole day of the wedding, ready to help and make sure everything went smoothly. They were so kind, helpful and encouraging throughout the entire process and day-of.
The venue is extremely affordable, especially considering we had access to the property starting at 9am the day before the wedding and got to sleep our entire wedding party there as part of our package! They were also very up-front about all the costs, what was included in the package, etc. We knew exactly how much we needed to pay when we booked the venue, and that didn’t change once throughout the entire process. We even accidentally overpaid at one point and hadn’t caught the mistake, and Callie caught it and refunded us!
In all, we could not be more thankful to work with such honest, kind and organized people. The Dappled Willow is an absolutely beautiful venue, and working with Callie made our entire process so much smoother and more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them enough!!
