Katie M. Sent on 07/11/2024Outstanding staff with a venue that feels like home.
We got married at Crooked Willow in June of 2024. The staff worked tirelessly to prepare us prior to our big day to make sure when the day came, everything ran as smooth as possible. The property is absolutely stunning. We held out rehearsal dinner, the day of morning preparations, and reception at Crooked Willow. This allowed us to feel comfortable when we were there for our event, like it was home base for those two days. Derek, Jody, and the staff felt like friends by the end of our experience. We are forever thankful to have our once in a lifetime memories at Crooked Willow. -

Gorgeous Venue
Derek and Jody were so wonderful to work with! They had constant communication to make sure everything went smooth along the way and made sure everything went smooth with the vendors as well. The venue was well kept and gorgeous! They even have recommendations of vendors to use on their website which is a plus because if you go with their recommendations those vendors know the property and know what to do so it helps that there are no questions with your vendor on what to do and where to set up. I highly recommend booking your wedding here you won’t regret it! -

Crooked Willow is the perfect place for a wedding! They have all the amenities you need! We had the most perfect wedding day and we couldn’t have imagined having it anywhere else. They keep the place looking beautiful. They help you with whatever you need to make your day go smoothly. There are many beautiful photo spots and so much character to all the buildings! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a beautiful outdoor (or indoor) wedding or event! -

Derek and Jody were great to work with at Crooked Willow! We toured July 2021, and booked for August 2022. We traveled from Moorhead MN. They are always available for any questions by text and email, and having not planned a wedding before, there were lots of questions! We had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, but they were very flexible when the weather did not cooperate, and were able to move everything inside. They have a list of caterers, and other vendor recommendations to choose from local to the Alexandria MN area. The venue space is simple, but beautiful, we did not have to do much as far as decorations. Another thing we appreciated was having the suites for both the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready in on site. These suites are spacious, and and very vendor friendly. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better day, everything went wonderful. We highly recommend holding your event here!! -

Wonderful!
Crooked Willow is a beautiful place to have a wedding. The whole day ran seamlessly and was so perfect. From the bartenders, to Derek and Jody themselves, everyone was so easy to work with and were there to answer any questions we had. We traveled from Knoxville, TN and we had absolutely no issues planning our wedding with Crooked Willow from so far away. I would definitely recommend choosing Crooked Willow as your venue! -

Beautiful Venue!
Our wedding at Crooked Willow went off without a hitch! Derek and Jody are fantastic to work with and the property is beautiful. Every venue set-up that I have seen has been stunning and unique. They have great communication on everything that needs to be set up prior to the event date, and were there to answer any questions every step of the way. When our ring bearer lost the sole of his shoe 10 minutes before our ceremony, Derek had the shoe fixed in no time! I recommend Crooked Willow for any event! The large venue made a perfect wedding venue, and the barn is perfect for smaller gatherings. There are also separate cabins for the couple's individual groups to get ready. We were able to use all areas for the day. -

Absolutely amazing!!
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our wedding at Crooked Willow! We toured the venue in June 2021 and got married in June 2022. Derek and Jody were great about answering all of our questions and communication from the time we toured this venue to our wedding day! The bridal suite and grooms den were so awesome for getting ready and to hang out with everyone in the wedding! We had our wedding ceremony outside and the reception in the shed and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We did very little decorations, because the venue itself is simply elegant and we received so many compliments on how beautiful it was.
It was a wonderful experience and we had our dream wedding!! -

Crooked Willow is absolutely amazing and the most breathtaking place to host a wedding. On top of the beautiful location and facilities on the property, the owners, Derek and Jody, are wonderful. Not only did they have great communication and always respond immediately, but they also ensured our day flowed smoothly and effortlessly. They were on hand the entire day. Jorg and I are so very happy with our choice to host our reception at Crooked Willow. The outside of the beautiful red barn is so picturesque, but it doesn’t compare to the exquisiteness of the inside of the barn. Our guests were so happy with the location and venue, too. Thank you, Derek and Jody!! -

Great venue!
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our wedding at Crooked Willow! We toured the venue in January and got married in April. Derek and Jody were great about answering all of our questions and communication from the time we toured this venue to our wedding day! The bridal suite and grooms den were perfect for the day of getting ready and was so nice to all be in one place. We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the shed and it was perfect! We did very little decorations, because the venue itself is simply elegant and we received so many compliments on how beautiful it was.
They have a list of caterers to choose from which was great to have a number of different choices. Honestly, so happy we were able to put our wedding together in a few months and have it at Crooked Willow. It was a wonderful experience! -

Picking Crooked Willow as our wedding venue was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. The venue itself, from the buildings to the surrounding landscape, is absolutely beautiful. One thing my husband and I especially appreciated about Crooked Willow was that it allowed us to hold our entire day at one location. The bridal and grooms suites provide great spots onsite for the bridal party to get ready for the day and hang out. We also were able to have our ceremony in the barn. It was such a wonderful atmosphere! Plus, Derek and Jody were incredible to work with. They were very friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to help make our wedding day an amazing experience. I strongly recommend Crooked Willow to anyone looking to get married in this area. -

We had our October wedding at Crooked Willow & could not have asked for a better venue to work with! So happy with our experience! Not only did we get tons of compliments on how gorgeous our venue was, but also the owners were incredible, & just made our whole day so smooth. We really loved that everyone was able to actually get ready at the venue as well, and just stay there all day, it was so convenient. Btw, their bridal & wedding suites to get ready in are amazing & so much fun, we had a blast! We truly made the absolute best memories at this venue on our big day with all of our favorite people. Thank you Derek & Jody for everything! -

The Best Day Ever
Married 10.17.20 and in the midst of a pandemic, it was the absolute perfect day! We honestly didn’t even consider another venue ! Derek & Jody were so wonderful to work with and made the day so smooth for us. They have the best space for an all day event which made it so easy for us! And the event center is so beautiful alone, that we hardly spent any money on decor! Communication was great and they always responded to us within a timely manner!Crooked Willow's reply:
The best part for us is seeing how unique every wedding here is!! Your pictures are amazing! Thank you for the review -
