Best decision ever

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Willowdale! Due to the pandemic, we didn't see it in person before booking it, but when we finally got to take a tour a few months later, we knew we had made the right decision. And then come wedding day, Willowdale exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious (which you can't say about a lot of wedding venues!); the staff was nice and helpful; everything was clean, well-manicured and taken care of. Even though Willowdale hosts weddings multiple times a week, you can really tell they take great care of the space and keep it looking perfect and special for every single couple. And then there's the Willowdale team! From the start, they go above and beyond to make you feel confident in your decision — from answering questions in a timely manner, to sending thank you notes (and even a gift or two!) throughout the process. Jeannine was our designated coordinator and she took the time to answer our big and small questions about wedding day plans, really ensuring we felt good about everything and could go into wedding day stress free. We loved that Jeannine made sure we had snacks and drinks waiting for us in our getting ready suite after the ceremony, and that we could have a few minutes to take a breather, and then really appreciated when she made sure we sat down to have our dinner before it got cold. We really felt like Jeannine and Willowdale took a lot of our shoulders, enabling us to have a stress-free and wonderful wedding day. Thank you Willowdale team! We'd get marry at Willowdale over and over again if we could.

A Perfect Day

We had an amazing experience getting married at Willowdale. Our coordinator Emily was incredible to work with, and made our day seamless. She went above and beyond, and made so many details special for us. The grounds are beautiful, and we loved using multiple spaces (indoor and outdoor) throughout the day. The food was delicious, and we loved how many options we had. We would 100% recommend having your wedding at Willowdale.

You won't regret it

Incredible venue. We were sold when they said the food and bar were included so it was two less vendors to find and coordinate. All our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The venue itself is stunning and the team to work with are amazing and make everything as easy as possible and dare I say... enjoyable! This was a stress free wedding planning experience with the Willowdale team. They did everything they possibly could to give us the wedding that we wanted, including waiting out the rain so we could have the ceremony of our dreams outside in the courtyard. You won't regret it.
