I cannot say enough good things about this place. My wife(!) and I are both medical residents and coordinating an out of town wedding with our schedules (and budget) was a huge stressor. We initially chose this venue because it was one of the prettiest places we had explored, but also because previous reviews had raved about how helpful Amy was in coordinating with vendors and providing recommendations based on her experience. I am so thankful we did because she made our lives infinitely better and she alone would be reason enough to have a wedding at The Willows Farm- added bonuses include multiple ceremony location choices (outdoor and rain backup), option to have rehearsal dinner on site, affordability, having the Big Canoe neighborhood next door for out of town guests, high quality vendor partnerships, the list goes on...have your wedding here and you will not regret it!

I had my wedding here a month ago, and I just have to say choosing this venue was the absolute best wedding planning decision I could have made.

Summary: This venue is the most cost effective and low(er) stress option I could possibly find. They have experienced staff, plenty of decor to choose from included in your package, tables, chairs, linens, cutlery, plates, indoor and outdoor ceremony options, plenty of bathrooms, and separate areas for the bride and groom to get ready in. After my first meeting and visit, I was instantly sold, even after all the other venues I visited.

One of the best parts of hosting a wedding here was just the process. They host open houses quarterly where you can narrow down which vendors you would like to work with, which saves a ton of time and money on things such as tastings. Also, they were great at communication which is extremely important and have 3 planning meetings to make the day fit your vision as much as possible.

The Budget: Cost-wise I would say it is very reasonable for the pricing here. I did the all inclusive elopement package and I have to say it was an incredible value. Their package included so much and all I truly had to worry about was a photographer, which I wanted to choose myself anyways.

The Grounds: There are multiple ceremony locations which is a huge benefit. There are multiple covered/indoor options and multiple outside options. I chose the greenhouse and it was beautiful. The best part about the multiple options was the inclusion of a weather backup option. I didn't have to worry about what I would do in case of inclement weather. The Grounds also have a place to get ready, plenty of parking, a different location for your cocktail hour and hour reception, and a grooms cabin.

The Staff and Amenities: Everyone here has plenty of experience with planning and hosting weddings. They handled setup, take down, unpacked/packed the stuff we brought. If you would like to minimize stress of your wedding day, you need a team like this. The venue also has a fire station about 15 minutes away. This is important in case of medical emergencies at your wedding (unfortunately I speak from experience).

The Vendors: I was very particular about how I wanted my wedding flowers. They were one of the most important things to me, and Amy made my vision come to life. I chose Confection Perfection for my cake. I am not even a cake person and their cake is delicious. The DJ was okay. I had a very specific song I wanted for my processional and he did not play the exact version of the song I wanted. It's a bit heartbreaking but this is absolutely not against the venue. Lastly, the food is great and there is a decent variety of menu options available.

I was very stressed by the wedding planning process, and if I was with any other venue I would have likely cancelled. They are such a great choice I just knew I wouldn't regret seeing it through. I don't know how I didn't come across them sooner, but I'm hoping they gain popularity as time goes on because this is a true hidden gem.

I cannot thank Amy and her team enough for our amazing wedding day, I honestly had no idea where to start when it came to planning a wedding but Amy was there every step of the way to help and guide me. The venue is absolutely beautiful with 2 large willow trees and multiple areas to choose from for the ceremony and reception. I 100% will be recommending The Willow Farms to anyone looking for a venue, thank you again!
