Absolutely perfect!

My wedding was on 9/19/20 at Willow Haven. It is worth every penny! Duane and Kitty are amazing people and business owners. They go above and beyond and so many things are included when you rent this venue. You don’t have to worry about renting certain linens colors, dishes, silverware, glassware, certain staff, and most importantly, clean up! You can pick your stuff up the next day if you have to as well. They thought of all the little stressors for the day of and they take care of it all.

The venue itself is just perfectly set up and absolutely beautiful! I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony. They have a new outdoor wooded area with a massive arbor. So after the ceremony you’re able to move right into the basement for cocktail hour. You don’t have to worry about changing table settings because the upstairs was already ready for the reception.

My photos turned out stunning! You can take a photo anywhere on the property and they turned out amazing! I myself love nature photos so going down by the lake and into the woods Is highly recommended!

So I just want to say thanks to Duane and Kitty for making our day truly perfect!

The best wedding venue around!

Willow Haven event center, is truly the definition of amazing. It was like a dream having my wedding here. Everything was so well coordinated, the venue is stunning, and it’s all inclusive meaning they can also decorate from their large selection they have, they have plates, cups, table cloths, etc. They’re so easy to get ahold of if you need to ask questions throughout the process, I can’t recommend this venue enough to everyone! Willow Haven and everyone who works there will always have a special place in mine and my husbands hearts because of how truly wonderful they are!

Highly Recommend!!

Wow! We had our wedding here in July of 2022, it was an absolute dream come true. From start to finish, Willow Haven was spot-on!! They provided decor, dj services and were very pleasant to work with. Favorite features were the many different ceremony settings to choose from. The bridal room was an absolute luxury with showers and own hang-out spot. Thank you Willow Haven Staff for the best day ever!

Amazing Experience

Willow Haven Review
My sister was married at Willow Haven in 2020. When my now husband and I got engaged a year later, we were looking at other venues, trying to avoid the inevitable, but nothing came close to all of the amenities that Willow Haven offers. Aside from the stunning venue, the gorgeous property, free linen options, free decor to utilize, getting to chose whatever caterer you want, bringing your own alcohol so you save money, you get Kitty & Duane, the owners of the facility. Kitty & Duane will treat every bride & groom as if they are their own adult children walking down the aisle that day. They want everything to be perfect for you and they will make sure everything runs smoothly. They even pack all of your wedding items up for you at the end of the night so you do not have to.

When our family left Willow Haven for the second time, we were all saddened knowing we will not have another event there again. We are now in discussions to host a huge family reunion there every few years because we all loved our experience so much.

Kitty & Duane, thank you for the incredible experience you blessed my family with 2x over. We look forward to working with you in the future!

Beautiful venue for a wedding or any party!

Had my daughter's wedding there in September of 2021. We couldn't ask for any better owners. They go out of their way to make sure your special day go smoothly. They include some much in their pricing. I couldn't be happier with these awesome owners!!

Amazing Venue!!!!!

I can't rave enough about Willow Haven! First and foremost the location and barn are absolutely beautiful! We had a fall wedding and the grounds were amazing - tastefully decorated and well maintained! But most importantly the owners and staff were the absolute best! Kitty and Duane helped to make our day stress free and so much fun! They are such a hands on couple (Kitty tended bar and Duane was our DJ), and their staff was incredibly friendly and attentive! The amount of services they offer as part of your venue rental simply can't be matched by anyone else in the area. We highly recommend them for any special occasion!

It was a dream

If you’re looking for rustic beautiful barn wedding this is your BEST choice. Kitty and Duane were absolutely amazing to work with. Kitty always answers my questions and texts I didn’t worry about one thing they took care of everything. We chose not to hire a wedding day coordinator because Kitty was so helpful during the planning process I trusted her and Duane completely. They took my dream wedding and made it reality. I highly recommend them 100%!!!
