    Fits all Occasions

    I have been a guest at the Wishing Willow for several events - large, small, indoors, outdoors - and thoroughly enjoyed each one. One wedding accommodated 200 guests nicely with room for dancing. Even the small events maintained their intimacy. The space allows for numerous arrangements to best fit the occasion. The atmosphere is so peaceful and the sunsets are spectacular! The staff was easy to work with as well. I highly recommend it!

    Had a great experience having our rainy day wedding here. I would highly recommend also renting the house upfront, we used it to get ready in the day of and loved the atmosphere. My only thing I would change is to keep in communication with one contact for the venue vs. multiple different people. Everyone we worked with was great though and we enjoyed getting to know them! Would recommend this venue for your event!
