We absolutely adored every moment of our time with Willowdale Estate--from our first visit to our actual wedding day!

I first fell in love with Willowdale's gorgeous glass conservatory but after visiting, fell in love with everything about the venue. The staff are all so knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. We first had the pleasure of corresponding with Belinda, then after we booked, we had a few months where the entire planning team was at our disposable, and finally, a month or two before the wedding, we were assigned our fabulous day-of coordinator, Nichole. Every single person we interacted with at Willowdale were so wonderful and attentive and happily fielded all of my countless questions throughout the whole process.

One of the best things about Willowdale is that it has such a natural beauty that I didn't feel like I had to undertake a huge job of transforming the space to fit my vision. Presenting things in an aesthetically pleasing and polished way is a clear value of the staff at Willowdale and nothing is ever just set out randomly, but they really take the time to artfully display everything (i.e. the cheese and crudites table, the desserts table, our guest book table, the welcome table) in a beautiful, Pinterest-worthy way. As you can imagine, this made our wedding morning so much easier as Nichole and her team took care of setting out all the decor that we had brought in, and me and my wedding party were able to focus on getting ready and enjoying the morning!

Another wonderful thing is that the food here is SO delicious. For our entrees we had salmon with sticky rice, miso glazed bok choy and a pork roasted chop with sweet potato, brussels sprouts and mustard sauce. The salmon was flavorfuland tender and surprisingly, one of the best I've ever had (and I heard the same feedback from many of our guests)!

I could go on about all the things I loved about getting married at Willowdale but I think this covers a couple of our favorites!

In choosing Willowdale Estate, we got so much more than just a beautiful venue for our wedding - we got an amazing team and the support we needed on the most important day of our lives. And though almost every compliment we could dream of seems to have already been paid to the team at Willowdale Estate by the other reviewers here, we just need to do our part in pointing to Belinda, Chef Ben, and our wonderful coordinator Nichole for making our day absolutely perfect. They went to greater lengths than anyone could have possibly imagined to make our wedding day the best it could be and more.

I think the best way to prove that is with this small anecdote.

Leading up to our wedding, Nichole asked us if following the day of, we would like to save the top layer of our wedding cake to take later to eat on our honeymoon or an anniversary. We declined out of hand, assuming that the cake would be gone by the time everyone had a piece. The day after the wedding, we were on our way back to Willowdale to pick up our decorations before heading our on our honeymoon and were thinking out loud to each other that the only thing that disappointed us is that we didn't take that top layer of cake back with us. We were absolutely cursing ourselves. But when we met Nichole at the venue we decided to ask anyway, just out of a small hope that they for some reason had saved it. And by this point you should know that she absolutely did. She absolutely thought of everything and it is a testament to the point that the Willowdale team will exceed even your wildest expectations and dreams to make your day the most perfect it can possibly be.

Thank you again Belinda, Ben, and Nichole for everything that you and the rest of the Willowdale team did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives together. We will cherish every memory we had there and with you all forever and always.

Sincerely,

Laura and Ludwig Gerdes

Willowdale Estate is indescribable however if I had to choose a word I would choose Magical. From the moment my now husband and I drove to and walked throughout Willowdale I knew this was it ! This was the first and last placed my husband and I looked at. It is the perfect New England wedding venue. My wedding in April was beautiful very nice weather as well however I believe a winter wedding here would be amazing as well with all of Willowdales features. My guests can not stop talking about the amazing pianist they had and how delicious all the food was. The details of the estate are breathtaking ??The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be going there for some of there lovely events throughout the year as well. I can't thanks Willowdale enough for my big day !

Having been in this industry for over 20 years and performing at hundreds of weddings and private events every year, we work at countless venues throughout the New England area. I can say without hesitation that Monique and the staff at Willowdale are second to none. They are upbeat, fun, genuine, incredibly accommodating and hospitable, and they truly know how to make their clients feel simply amazing. Every event and wedding we have ever done there as been stress free and smooth sailing for the moment guests arrive to the last dance. We appreciate their help in working with us to ensure the reception timeline stays on track and for keeping us informed throughout the night. It makes our job as entertainers so much easier and we can focus on the music, versus day of event coordination. The grounds are gorgeous and the food is incredible. Please contact them and you will fall in love with both the charm of Willowdale Estate and the staff who creates this special place. Thank you for all you do. We sing your praises to our brides....

With all the work E.C.F. Entertainment DJs have coming through the North Shore, there are literally ZERO facilities with the natural beauty, attention to detail, and the overall WOW factor that Willowdale Estate brings to the area! From the natural aesthetics of Bradley-Palmer State Park and the exterior of the Stone Mansion itself, to the charm of the interior spaces and the rear courtyard...Willowdale weddings and events are in a category all their own. The staff ensures a customized experience for all, and we are so proud to call one of the best to do it, our friends!
