Every person raved about how beautiful it was. The option to rent your decor and centerpieces was amazing and so handy not to have to separately buy, put up, or take down on your own!! Unfortunately the decor manager was frustratingly disorganized. But the rest of the staff was world class and fell all over themselves to be helpful. I can't think of a more perfect place to have a wedding.

Everything I rented from the venue was set up & ready to go the morning of my Wedding (stress free). They gave me a list of vendors for ideas. I ended using the bartender & security they had offered. The owners are absolutely amazing. They answered any questions I had at a timely manner, they let me change things constantly (I think I was changing things at rehearsal), they were there on wedding day for any help I needed. They are GREAT people. Kelsie (rental coordinator) is absolutely wonderful too. She helped & helped come up with ideas. She met us at there storage unit any time I asked. She let me add things and take off things without getting frustrate. She went with the flow and that was perfect for me. IF YOU PLAN ON BOOKING THIS VENUE DO IT WITHOUT ANY QUESTION. I had the wedding of my dreams here & I will recommend them to anyone & everyone!!!

Bailey Lee the Director of Events was exceptionally helpful as she was always happy to answer any questions I had. The staff including Brianna and Brittney were very punctual, patient and incredibly helpful with all the planning. The day of, someone was there with me to navigate the day and make sure everything ran smoothly. I really appreciated too, the flexibility and selections they had to choose from for table linens, decor etc. The venue provided me with a floor plan with table setting and other element placing, and were accepting of my edits / red lining of any changes I wanted to make. They were always sending me detailed documents of the venue plans. They had a lot of partnerships with people to help make the ease of finding other vendors. This was a big help as it was more convenient to work with others who were familiar with the location. The venue itself is exceptional. All my guests said it was one of the best weddings they had been to because the whole area is just naturally stunning. Very open concept and bright all over. There were tons of opportunity for photos in various locations across the venue. From natural scenery, to a porch swing, trees, bridge, gazebo etc. There were also butterflies everywhere, so they were obviously attracted to the foliage outside which made it even more magically. The only things I will say in contrast is I had a fright with some of my things being misplaced that I had requested such as easels, some of my rentals and the fireplace was supposed to be lit as requested. The items were eventually found and brought to me before it was too late. The fireplace was never lit but it was still beautiful regardless. And I reminded the staff to bring out the easels which they happily did so. I also mentioned multiple times that the lights in the reception were supposed to be purple and they assured me that it wasn't going to be blue even though the papers they sent me said, "blue." I told them to revise this and they said it would be purple, well the day of it was still blue which luckily still worked with my color anyways. I had also originally been told when I booked the venue that there was a projector to display photos and had originally planned to have a slideshow until I found out much later that there were renovations and the projector could no longer be used. I was a little upset by this as they did not plan to have a projector screen available to maintain this option and instead got rid of it all together. But that is a minor detail that didn't effect our experience too much. All that aside, great job to everyone, thank you for making my day special and beautiful. Myself as well as everyone who came will remember that day as being just as perfect as I wanted it to be. Thank you!

I was going for a fall forest vibe and the secret garden met that and more. We got the Day of Coordinator package and it was so worth it. Literally the best to not have to have our "Boo Crew" clean up after. Plus there is so much more to that package. Also you can rent linens and decor from the venue. As far as the contract and communication, Shanna and Roland were perfectly clear on payment dates and vendors (security, insurance, alcohol policies) that would be needed. I read the contract, signed, paid and got married. Truly had no issues. I planned the whole wedding myself so I was able to stay on top of getting vendors on time and paying early! Very smooth event. 10/10 would get married here again. Probably gonna renew our vows here tbh! Will not disappoint!

Inside did not disappoint, with lots of detail and open spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions to be held. There is a "man cave" in the basement for the groomsmen and second floor space for the bride and her ladies. An elevator makes traveling between floors a cinch. There is a beautiful pool and ceremony room, which has a wall of glass that allows for views of the property, trees, and barn in the background. Reasons for not offering 5 stars would be the seemingly inexperienced and somewhat inattentive staff and the extremely cold reception space. Many guests were clearly cold (it was a wet winter day with cool temperature) and it felt quite chilly in the space. The staff were friendly however did not seem to go out of their way to check in with guests. You had to flag down the servers for a passed appetizer, instead of being offered one. Hopefully these issues can be improved upon to improve the guest experience and make the wedding couple feel pampered and stress free on their big day.

There is two ceremony options and a few different arch options, we spoke about the reception layout and tablecloth colors. Mrs. Shari was super responsive and believe me I had so many questions haha but she was very helpful throughout the entire process from the tour to the wedding day. When we arrived for our special day, everything was already set up for us just how we spoke about it! They also have a selection of decorations you can choose from free of charge! The area for the guys was PERFECT and I loved how it was separate from the barn so I didn't have to worry about anyone seeing me or my dress before I walked down the aisle. I 100% recommend willow woods for any special occasion !

Melanie was our primary planner and she listened to all of my wife and I's requests and gave great feedback. When we were unsure of which colors, fabrics, and other things most folks would not think of she was always giving great feedback and guiding us to the perfect wedding. The days leading up to and the day of both ladies were in contact with my wife and I and made us feel so at ease! There is always a little stress at a wedding but we were confident everything would be great and it was! The best wedding planners in town!

The moment I walked into the office and met Julie and Jacy I knew it was different. They were so incredibly personable and the more we talked the more I knew they were the right choice. Jacy was my primary planner with Emily assisting and I honestly can't say enough good things about them! Since I already chose all my vendors I decided to go with the package that gave me a month of their service with day-of-coordinator. Since I knew very little about wedding planning I appreciated how comfortable they made me feel and I never felt judged for being clueless! Saying they were helpful is an understatement. I am a very detail oriented person who likes a plan. I was running around and a bit stressed the few weeks leading up to the wedding (as all brides) getting all the details squared away. The day OF the wedding I had no stress, no worries because I knew Jacy and Emily had it all under control. I 100% trusted that they would take the lead, set everything up that I entrusted them with and knew they would do an amazing job. I knew this because of how incredibly responsive Jacy was with every email, every question answered, and constantly brought things up I myself never even thought about. Knowing you can rely on someone is rare and absolutely wonderful. On top of it all it was always done with a positive attitude and a genuine smile. I can't imagine being around Jacy and not be in a good mood. I was sincerely sorry when the wedding was over not just because it was over but because that meant Jacy was no longer in my life haha. She is a wonderful person through and through. While I didn't interact with Emily as much since my contact was more with Jacy as the head planner, I did see her on the day of the wedding and noticed how tirelessly she worked, always keeping an eye out that everything was running smoothly. Hiring them was the best thing I could have done and would absolutely recommend them for any event planning!
