We celebrated our wedding in Cape May this spring. We currently live overseas, and the team at Willow Creek did a great job of fitting in meetings when we were stateside and virtually, despite time zone challenges. We had a non-traditional idea of how we wanted our day to go, and they flexed to make our dream a reality. They were hands-on the day of, and kept things running so smoothly so that we could enjoy all that Willow Creek had to offer on our special day! -

Can't thank Alyssa enough for helping us throw the wedding of our dreams (and a really great party)! The setting at Willow Creek is absolutely magical - a historic property with beautiful landscaping and a ballroom that can be easily transformed to fit your style. The space comfortably fit our large wedding, the food was great, and the staff was attentive. Alyssa was able to work with us to accommodate some of our requests - such as the being the first wedding to serve Willow Whips for dessert alongside our cake - and great under pressure; she made sure the kitchen delayed our food so we didn't have to rush our ceremony when our bus company went rogue and only picked up half of our guests. It's the ideal setting to host a wedding and one where we plan to make many future visits to celebrate anniversaries and other happy events. Can't recommend this venue enough! -

Getting married at Willow Creek Winery was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the venue. Our fall wedding was made even more stunning by the vibrant foliage, which created the most romantic and picturesque backdrop for our special day.
The staff at Willow Creek went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was flawless. Their professionalism was evident in every interaction, yet they were also warm and friendly, making us feel supported and cared for throughout the planning process and the big day itself. Their attention to detail was impeccable—from the perfectly arranged seating to the seamless timeline of events.
As a bride with a severe nut allergy, I was especially appreciative of their dedication to food safety. The team took my concerns seriously and worked closely with us and the catering staff to ensure that every dish was safe for me and our guests to enjoy. Knowing that they had everything under control allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the day.
And, of course, the wine was absolutely incredible. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and we loved selecting the perfect pairings for our reception dinner. The winery’s dedication to quality truly shines in every glass.
I cannot recommend Willow Creek Winery enough for anyone dreaming of a beautiful, stress-free wedding. They made our day unforgettable, and we will cherish the memories forever. -

We got married on 12/16/23 and had our reception at Willow Creek Winery. Hamilton and her team were wonderful to work with starting from when we first met them a year prior to our wedding. We added unique touches like table numbers on ornaments, a string quartet during cocktail hour, warm sangria as a signature drink, etc. and Hamilton was so flexible and encouraging with each suggestion we had. We received such nice compliments about how beautiful the venue looked (for both the reception and cocktail hour), the service, and our delicious food. Thank you Hamilton for encouraging and helping us create the magical winter wedding we always dreamed of! We can't wait to visit again. -

Madison Sent on 12/31/2023Perfect vineyard wedding
When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew I wanted to get married on a vineyard. After a few weeks, we stumbled upon Willow Creek Winery by chance on our way to Sunset beach. We were absolutely taken the moment we laid eyes on it. Our experience at Willow Creek was nothing short of exceptional! The picturesque setting, excellent service, and super attentive venue coordinator made our wedding a dream come true. Everyone worked so hard to create a magical atmosphere for our special day. A heartfelt thank you for making our celebration truly five-star! -

Carolyn Sent on 08/13/2023Stunning Venue for a Big Venue
We loved getting married at Willow Creek Winery! We had our ceremony on the Estate Lawn and hosted nearly 200 guests at what was a delightful, personalized event.
We had a lot of DIY elements, and Hamilton worked with us for the past year or so to create the wedding of our dreams. She was incredibly responsive, as well as accommodating to our requests. And the personal wine tasting for four we had with her was one of the highlights of our wedding planning process!
The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the food was fantastic, and the wine was delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests. We can't wait to come back to visit and relive the memories! -

I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Willow Creek Winery was everything we could ask for and our day was perfect.

Sheila Sent on 01/18/2022A Truly Unforgettable Wedding Day!
We had such a wonderful wedding day at Willow Creek! I can’t say enough amazing things about the venue and team that made the day completely unforgettable. The venue itself is stunning. Its such a beautiful backdrop guaranteeing a picture-perfect day. The staff was equally wonderful. Shannon was great to work with as we planned out every detail. Admittedly, I’m a bit of a control freak and like to have things in order right from the start. Every meeting with Shannon was great and I left it feeling at ease with all that was going on. She handled so much behind the scenes stuff and truly made things run smoothly. When the day finally came, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Our guests raved about the appetizers during cocktail hour – especially the bacon-wrapped scallops! The bartenders kept up our guests who definitely kept them busy. Beth was one of our guests’ favorite bartenders throughout the night. She was fun and kept everyone happy and laughing as she served them. I highly recommend using the bridal suite on-site to get ready. It makes everything so easy when it comes time for pictures on-site. Speaking of pictures… ours are so beautiful with the stunning winery backdrop. Overall, it was a truly magical day for us! -

Amazing Experience
I 100% recommend booking Willow Creek for your wedding! My husband and I held our wedding reception at Willow Creek on 10/23/21 after planning our wedding since March 2020. We worked closely with Anisa on the events team throughout the entire process. Anisa was super quick to respond to our emails and helped make sure we were on track with all the details needed through consistent check ins and coordination with our wedding planner and team of vendors. We relied on her recommendations and guidance throughout the process and truly loved working with and getting to know her! Our wedding reception was absolutely gorgeous and everything went so smoothly. Our families and friends raved about the fabulous and picturesque cocktail hour on the patio, the amazing bartenders, servers & food during the reception, and the overall beauty of the property itself. Anisa was so sweet and checked in on me and my husband throughout the night - she even saved us a plate of appetizers at our seats & took our entrees back to the kitchen to make sure they stayed warm while we were mingling during dinner. This allowed us to really get to take a moment to ourselves and enjoy our first meal as husband and wife when we were ready, which is uncommon for the bride & groom! Willow Creek is truly the perfect wedding venue and a hidden gem in Cape May that will wow your guests, and their dedicated events team will support you throughout the way to make sure your vision comes to life and your wedding goes off without a hitch! -

Joseph Sent on 08/10/2021The perfect venue venue
I have to give the Willow Creek Winery 10 Stars.
If you are looking for a beautiful setting for a wedding reception this is the place. Everything was amazing from the venue tour right up to the wedding day.
Shannon, in the Special Events Department, is an amazing person who really went above and beyond to make our daughters wedding day such a memorable event. Our guest continued to rave about the Willow Creek Winery and how beautiful the location was. We honestly could not have picked a better wedding venue for our daughter’s special day.
A special thanks to the staff at Willow Creek Winery for making it such a magical day. You rocked it.

Willow Creek Winery is a beautiful venue! They have the Southern Mansion cater so you don’t need to worry about finding a caterer and their packages for weddings are very nicely laid out in their brochure. Shannon and Anisa are super helpful when first deciding on what you want and they are very responsive throughout the planning process. The grounds are extremely well kept and it is a beautiful winery! The staff is friendly and both the grounds and interior of the winery is beautiful! -

Personalized, flexible and welcoming
I am an event coordinator in the Philadelphia area. Being in the business myself I chose to have a very small wedding in the off season. We chose to get married in Cape May because we love visiting every year. When we come to Cape May we ALWAYS make a stop at Willow Creek! I called Willow Creek on a whim (thought it would be way out of my price range) about three months before our wedding date. Shannon answered and was immediately welcoming! Turns out we were getting married on the busiest winter weekend and we needed to make a few changes. Shannon was absolutely amazing, I was worry free all the way up until I walked down the stairs to my now husband! The food was amazing as well as the wine and it was extremely affordable! I’d love to give a huge shout out and sincere thank you to Shannon and Barbara for being so accommodating and treating our 10 guest wedding as if it were a 300 guest event! -

Felicia Sent on 09/19/2019Shannon is the best
Shannon made everything on our day work exactly how we wanted even with such a short time frame. She was very accommodating and so organized. I never had to worry about everything being how we hoped it would be. She frequently stayed in touch and always made me feel like family when I was there. She never talked down to me even though I was a very young bride and I wouldn’t want it any other way. The best part is the venue needs very little when it comes to decorations because it is already beautiful as is. I wish I could have my wedding all over again. -

Shannon was amazing as we planned our big day! She was helpful in suggesting wines, tent vendors for cocktail hour and floor arrangements. She was able to accommodate our requests and make sure we had the best day ever! Amazing staff at Willow Creek! The bartenders even knew our guests and bridal party by name and ensured we always had a drink in hand! -
Danielle Sent on 06/27/2018I wish I could get married again, just to have an excuse to go back to the Willow Creek Winery! I cannot say enough amazing things about Ariella and her team at Willow Creek, and I am so grateful to have worked with them throughout the entire process. First of all, the natural beauty of the winery is indescribable, and there really isn't much you need to do to decorate (although I did splurge with hanging bistro lights across the interior ceiling beams and underneath the cocktail hour and ceremony tents, in addition to tons of greenery and candles all over the table/bar tops, in the entryway, and in and around the fireplace). Second of all, the professionalism and dedication I experienced with Ariella and her team was incredible. I had a LOT of questions, and each one of them were answered professionally, patiently, and in a timely manner. Chef Brian Parker worked with us through Ariella, and any questions regarding the menu was quickly communicated and answered. The food was AMAZING. Seriously, so fresh and just absolutely delicious. Both of our families are HUGE foodies, and pretty tough critics, and everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the food- from the cocktail hour through the reception. Cocktail hour food kept coming until the very end, and the portions were very generous. Ariella and her team worked with us on what we could afford, and although we did wind up exceeding our budget (by our choice), it was ALL worth it. I cannot say enough amazing things about the food, the venue, the service, and the general experience. I would be more than happy to speak further about the details, if anyone needs some advice or is considering getting married at Willow Creek Winery! My email is Danielle.DiChiaro@gmail.com. HIGHLY recommend booking with the winery- it was the absolute best and most beautiful wedding I could have asked for!

Ashley Sent on 01/10/2017My husband & I were married on an unseasonably cold, April 29, 2016 amidst at least 200 of our closest family & friends at Willow Creek Winery. I say "at least" because, throughout the wedding planning process, you truly get to know the wedding coordinators, the venue & their incredible staff. After a year of wedding planning, we grew extremely close to Kevin Celli & his amazing Willow Creek/Farm staff. Not only was Kevin's attention to detail spot on, but he was able to predict the timing of every phase of our wedding day. He orchestrated the outside tents (under which we said our vows), he called our tent company the day before our wedding because I neglected to order sides for our tents, & he greeted me with a huge, friendly smile before I walked down the aisle to forever. Kevin reminded us of timing cues for cocktail hour, the dances, cake cutting & speeches. He & his staff seamlessly expedited 3 courses from the kitchen, to our guests. I can't thank Kevin enough for keeping my nerves together, for taking charge when necessary & for literally making our wedding day , the Best Day Ever. -

Lauren Sent on 12/16/2015I don't even remember how I found Willow, but I immediately fell in love with the place. It was exactly what I envisioned for our wedding down to the exposed beams and gigantic chandeliers. We drove down to Cape May to check it out and booked immediately.
Kevin Celli was amazing from the start and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all things wedding. He kept me on track and sent spreadsheets which made planning very easy. The day of the wedding he was there putting out fires from my vendors' mistakes, but I had no issues with Kevin or Willow. Everything was exactly as promised and they even got the fire pit going in the middle of hurricane Joaquin.
The grounds of Willow are gorgeous and extremely well maintained. The food was excellent, and we got a ton of compliments.
Overall, I was extremely happy with Willow and Kevin and I highly recommend booking your wedding with them! -

Kaitlin Sent on 12/26/2014As the bride, I have been dreaming of and planning my wedding day since I was 5 years old and received by first bridal barbie! Well, my wedding at Willow Creek winery was nothing short of perfection. It literally was a dream come true.
The setting, the ambiance, the overall environment, rustic glam appeal...it was just perfect!
The staff....they were just phenomenal. Kevin, whom I mainly worked with was just amazing! He went above and beyond to make every inch of the winery gorgeous for my day. He gave me food recommendations, wine pairing advice, vendor recommendations, and tips to stay on budget!!!!
Every time I popped in I was greeted with a smile, a hug and felt like a princess. This winery was the home of my happiest day and I will always be a patron of this establishment.
I guarantee you will fall in love with the winery...inside and out...the wine....its just to die for...and the staff...they will be extended family. There is no better winery in all of New Jersey and certainly no better wedding venue!
Don't even think twice!
I LOVE YOU WILLOW CREEK! -

Sarah Sent on 01/13/2026Christmas Wedding
I know everyone loves the winery in the spring and summer, but it is truly SO magical during Christmas! It was beautifully decorated, and gave our guests the most amazing experience.
Alyssa and her assistant Mary took great care to execute our vision so beautifully, communicate with us before, and work with us to make the day perfect. They handled any hiccups with other vendors with grace and we are so glad we had our wedding here!
Our favorite highlights were the venue decorations themselves, how they set up the space for the wedding, the execution of the signature cocktails, and cocktail hour food. We had a lot to set up and they executed our vision as we had requested. It was easy to trust all of Alyssa's experience and support. We loved how they set up our "memory table," the cocktail hour room as well as the display, and the dessert set up and presentation. The waitstaff was also so lovely to all of our guests, and they ensured we did not miss our main entrees as we were obviously busy that evening.
Some aspects that would be helpful to note for future guests that we did not know prior to researching/booking: if you are looking for an all-inclusive package with alcoholic drinks, etc., that is not available here. As it is a winery, we had to coordinate with a liquor vendor and that was an unexpected cost. We also did an "intimate wedding package" which was perfect for us, but found there were a lot of smaller separate costs that were not at other venues we looked at. Ultimately, for us despite the cost, having it at the winery was still worth it. Finally, I would recommend bringing more people to your food tasting so you can try a wider variety of entrees. We came alone and were only able to try two before the wedding. If you are looking for a place where you have more control over food at the wedding like sides, etc., here those elements are chef's choice. We did not know those until we were at the wedding and likely would not have selected the sides given. The pork chop entree was by far our favorite dish at the actual reception, and we wish we'd tried more options prior.
Beyond those small notes for future couples, we truly had the most perfect night with our favorite people and WCW made the drinks, cocktail hour, ambiance, and seamlessness of reception needed for a bride and groom at their own wedding so easy for us to sit back and just enjoy. Our guests could not stop raving that it was the best wedding they'd been to and that in huge part is due to the staff here! -

Danielle Sent on 07/18/2023A Winery Dream Venue - Professional, Organize & Beautiful
Since Willow Creek opened in 2013, I've always said this would be the most beautiful venue for a wedding. 6.3.23 I had my wedding at Willow Creek and it was more perfect then I could have imagined it all those years. The venue is obviously stunning, getting the entire grounds on the whole day to take pictures gave us time to take the most amazing pictures. It is also located close to the beach, so we were able to have our first look on the beach and then winery pictures a short ride after. We had our ceremony at the wine tasting building, which definitely makes you timeline a lot tighter, but Willow Creek has preferred vendors that are experts in working with the wineries timelines and will make sure that everything is ready to go by your start time. Hamilton is absolutely amazing. She is a quick responder to all questions and is so pleasant to work with. She made the stressful process of wedding planning a lot easier. Our guest raved about the food (the beef wellington hors d'oeuvre was a crowd favorite). And the party favors that come with your package are little wine bottles, which of course, none were left behind. Bonus: it's pet friendly through cocktail hour so we had our pup in the wedding! Willow Creek is a dream wedding venue and you wont be disappointed working with them for your big day -

Perfect Wedding Venue!
My wife and I had an amazing wedding at Willow Creek! Anisa was a great partner throughout the entire process helping us iron out all the details and advising us on the best decisions to make to ensure our wedding was a success. All our guests commented on how much fun they had and how beautiful the space was. Our wedding was early November and Willow Creek was just as beautiful as ever - so don't be afraid of booking them for a later date. The food was amazing (possibly the best wedding food overall we've ever had) and all the preferred vendors that Willow Creek recommended were great to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful, but honestly, Willow Creek made it a lot less so, which we really appreciated! -

Willow Creek Winery was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding venue. We are both plant biologists and wanted something that was rustic and natural but still felt elevated and polished. Willow Creek definitely delivered! It was absolutely beautiful. The food was very good - we received many compliments from guests on the appetizers in particular. The dinners came out quickly and were hot for all 170 people in attendance, which was a big concern of ours. Hamilton was amazing to work with - she was responsive and considerate. We were in a panic the week or two leading up to the wedding since we live out of state and the area for the ceremony was still finalizing construction. Hamilton made sure they finished on time and sent us pictures every few days to assure us things were moving along fine. The space finished on time and looked so lovely our photographers opted to take a bunch of pictures in that space. Such a dream! I wish I could do it all again.
