Went above and beyond

Caroline and Brittany were great! My caterer did not show on my wedding day and they bent over backwards and went above and beyond to not only get me 130 plates of food delivered for my guests within 30 minutes and then served all of the food as well. I never once felt stressed or worried because i knew it was being taken care of. I don’t have enough good things to say. I would recommend this venue to anyone and be able to have the peace of mind knowing things will be taken care of, even if your worst fear happens.

Willow House and Social Barn

The Willow House and Social Barn Ultimate Weekend Package was the perfect setting for our wedding. We wanted to share our mountains with family and friends and were able to have everyone all together for a spectacular celebration. The accommodations as well as the wedding venue itself were beautifully decorated and so very welcoming. The creekside property with its waterfalls and gardens is beautiful. The staff is helpful, gracious and accommodating. Our guests said they felt so at home and were treated like family. We are so very blessed to have been able to have our wedding at the Willow House and Social Barn. We highly recommend it!

The Perfect Location to Celebrate with Family & Friends

We couldn't have asked for a better location to host our wedding weekend! Lodging for guests, beautiful scenery, private but easy to get to; The Willow House checked all the boxes. We took advantage of the many locations on site and hosted our rehearsal dinner out back by the waterfall and enjoyed s'mores by the Groom's Cabin fire-pit on Friday. Our family and friends traveled from all over the country to celebrate with us, and all loved that they were able to stay on the property together. Weddings go by so quickly so having that extra time together was precious. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
