We hosted our son's rehearsal dinner here! Chef Monsour was so helpful in our menu planning and left NO detail undone. I'm not really a foodie so I was a bit worried about the flavors of his recipes, but we chose this place because our son loves it there. I believe the salad before dinner was the freshest salad I've ever had in my life, the lettuce was so flavorful and the homemade dressing made me want to lick my plate! We had nearly 60 people and we all fit out on the covered patio where we had great views of the property. I know he hosts parties monthly there, themed nights, I cannot wait to get back there for one of these! We cannot thank him and his staff for helping to make the stressful wedding week pushed out of our minds for those few hours we were there. Kudos to them!

My husband and I were married here in September 2014, and we cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was! The venue is fantastic, and has a rustic elegance that is truly unique. The gardens and large trees make a beautiful backdrop for photos, and dancing under the stars was absolutely magical. Mansour is an experienced wedding planner with unlimited options, and calling him a master chef doesn’t do his culinary creations justice. We are avid foodies, and our custom menu that he created still has our friends and family talking about it. The beautiful setting and unbelievable food are a combination which simply cannot be matched.

Our son and his fiance wanted an outdoor fall wedding. We looked at two other vendors before finding Willow Creek Inn. Once we met Mansour Zand, the owner and chef; and saw how beautiful the countryside was and knew this was what we were looking for. The quality of service he provided prior to the wedding day, the day of the wedding , as well as the day after the wedding was exceptional. He was professional, kind, respectful, and was able to guide us when we were not sure. He helped us to create a backup plan if the weather didn't cooperate. The rehearsal dinner and the reception both were wonderful. We were very pleased with the way things turned out and we got exactly what we were looking for. It was worth the money spent. We received many compliments at the wedding on this venue, the food, the staff, and Mansour. He was so pleasant greeting all our guests and talking to them. We would do it again and recommend this venue to all. We plan to come to Willow Creek Inn with our family often.
