We loved having our wedding at Willow Creek Wedding & Event Venue! The venue itself is gorgeous with beautiful gardens that made for a dreamy backdrop. The staff were pretty good to work with in the planning process - they responded very quickly to any questions we had and helped keep us on track with timelines for decisions. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly thanks to their coordination. The space is large enough to accommodate all our guests comfortably. Willow Creek delivers excellent value with all the key elements for an stress-free and fun wedding. We highly recommend them for their communication, the quality of service, and beautiful venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at Arrowwood on May 26. It was an absolutely amazing experience. We used not only the venue, but the add on services of coordination, decoration, and floral. Everything turned out exactly how I wanted it and I would describe the day as perfect. Every question that I had leading up to the day was answered quickly, kindly, and efficiently. Our coordinator, Bri, truly made the day so easy and fantastic. She was on top of everything from decorations, wrangling groomsmen, and making sure I was having a relaxing/ fabulous time. I could not be more thankful for her help and her guidance in making decisions and the wedding timeline. If you are considering using Arrowwood, do it!!
