This venue has a beautiful outdoor space that is stunning and the tented Biergarten is inviting and charming. The staff at the Willows were amazing! They were incredibly flexible and accommodating. They took such good care of us from start to finish. They made sure our vision came to life! 10 out of 10!!! -

This place was fantastic. The owners have great relationships to local top vendors and connected me to their services. The setting was gorgeous. It was a 5 hour drive for our guests, so it's saying a lot that everyone raved about how it was worth it once they saw the grounds. I got married in May and the property was covered in peonies and lush greenery. -

User1900906 Sent on 11/02/2014We live out of state and needed a place that could do it all for us. We chose the Willows but had no idea what to expect! However, our daughter and her fiancee had just relocated to the area for new jobs and could not manage travel.
We could not have been happier with the entire event--every detail was perfection! From the fine grounds (5+ acres), to the gorgeous flowers, incredible cake, and the attentive staff all of it was better than we could have hoped! The inn rooms were a wonderful option for all the out-of-towners, and the staff took care of every detail. The views of the valley from the Willows are magnificent--during the afternoon, and especially in the evenings. If we had had the wedding back home, I don't think it would have been nearly as nice. We highly recommend it--and the pricing for the value was very affordable! -

We loved working with Joe and the entire team at The Willows. They worked extremely hard to ensure that everything went smoothly for our rehearsal and wedding. The venue is also gorgeous! I really appreciated that they can include all tables, linens, drinks, and they set-up/clean up all of their materials for you. Another thing that was important to me was finding a venue that had spaces to get ready, had outdoor ceremony options, and space to do the reception as well. This one venue has everything you need in one location!The Willows Bed and Breakfast's reply:
Thank you so much for your review, Brittany, and we want to thank you and Kevin for placing your trust in us to help you create a special experience for your family and friends. We wish you all the best.

We fell in love with the willow trees in the pictures and the beautiful koi pond. But what really sold it for us was the amazing couple running the venue, Joe and Sandy. They were very welcoming to show us the entire grounds and give us a little history behind the beautiful home. We felt very welcome to be there and had an amazing experience. I highly recommend even just looking at this venue, I promise you’ll fall in love with it just as we did. -

The owners at the Willows were so kind and very helpful to us! The value for the price of the venue is amazing. The owners are making improvements to the property regularly. My only complaints: we were assured the biergarten tent would be nice and warm with the heaters on when we learned our wedding would be rained out. It was actually freezing cold and all of our guests were cold the whole night, leading to them leaving early! The venue was also not 'pristine', even on our wedding day. There were some old flower pots with dead plants by the biergarten tent, some evidence of their improvements that hadn't been completed by our date, etc. That being said, our wedding was quite early for 'wedding season'.
Overall we were so happy with the venue. It's absolutely gorgeous, the biergarten tent looked amazing inside, the audio system worked great so all our guests could hear, and it was so nice being able to set some decor up the day before and have the whole day to prep. Thanks so much! -

Natosha Sent on 06/28/2016The venue, in and of itself, is absolutely stunning. A bride couldn't ask for a better setting for her outdoor wedding. The tent was a great staging area for the reception. Rentals were included at an additional price, which we chose to do. We worked with a planner, and I think it really helped. She has a relationship with the owners and seems to work well with them. One of the owners, though very kind when taking payment, was actually quite rude to a couple of our vendors and members of my bridal party. Rather than make requests to move cars etc, she was quite abrasive and rude. She was also rude to me. Using a tactful approach to addressing concerns is always going to yield better relationships. Apparently, those relationships aren't all that important beyond payment. It is important for venue owners to remember that other vendors do not work for them. They work for the bride and groom. With that, the place is stunning and there was obviously a lot of time put into making sure things were well cared for as for as the outside grounds and facilities are concerned. **Yes, the coordinator was contracted via the venue, however, the DJ never worked for the venue, nor did our hair and makeup people. They were contracted by US. Again, kind words, requests rather than orders, and talking to, rather than barking at, people yields better relationships.The Willows Bed and Breakfast's reply:
We do our best to make every wedding special. In advance of the wedding we review a full contract with the bride/groom, which clearly stipulates parking, timing, staffing and restrictions. The bride initials each of these individually. so there is clarity.
Every weekend is busy at the inn and parking is restricted during events and rehearsals, except for overnight guests. The bridal party violated the contract by parking in reserved inn spaces, several times. Consequently, inn staff had to be allocated to directing parking for rehearsal participants, taking staff from other duties--and allowing our inn guests to unload bags and check-in.
To clarify further, the wedding coordinator was contracted and paid for by the venue, not the bride. During the event and the rehearsal the coordinator was working for the venue. The bride contracted for additional services prior to the rehearsal and wedding day--on those occasions, the coordinator was working for the bride--this was all clearly outlined in the contract the bride signed and with the coordinator.
