Best Wedding Venue

Willow Event Center is an absolutely exquisite space to get married. Our ceremony was held outside under the gazebo and we went inside for the reception. My guests kept gushing over how beautiful the space is, and they were right. From the magnificent willow tree, to the waterfall, to the decked out groom and bride's rooms, every square inch of thus place is a beauty to behold. Drew and his staff made us feel comfortable and he was willing to go far and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. Don't look at any other space, Willow Event Center will meet all of your wedding needs.

Great Customer Service and Communication

From start to finish Drew was incredibly helpful. He was patient, sweet and helped execute my vision. The venue was clean and decorated soo pretty. Besides Drew all the staff were amazing and also went out of their way to make my day special and meaningful. I literally have no complaints! Drew and his team were very professional and personable. I highly recommend The Willow

Felt Special

Drew was amazing to work with! He was so friendly, quick to answer all concerns and made me (the bride) feel special in making sure the night goes smoothly. The venue was a perfect size and had a huge dance and a beautiful gazebo! Loved that I was the only bride there.

Bothwell Wedding

Drew was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting until the last. The event center was very clean and well managed and offered ample parking. We hosted our cocktail hour, ceremony and reception at the location and it made it so much easier to plan and produce the type of evening that we desired. I will definitely keep Willow on my list of venue choice for other future events.

Loved the whole experience!!

Drew was the best! We loved how flexible Drew was with dates since Covid put a pause on our original date. Very reasonable price for such a beautiful venue. Drew also helped ease a lot of worries and stress since I planned everything myself. If we were to do it all again I would still pick the Willow 💕
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
