Peachtree, the Willows, and Grace are all fabulous. The Willows was truly our dream venue, and we absolutely hit the jackpot with Peachtree as our caterer, and Grace as our coordinator. As a queer and trans couple, we felt seen, affirmed, and safe throughout the whole process. We got compliments on the venue the whole day. Even my dad (a retired professional chef of 30+ years) complimented the food multiple times. The burrata bar was a dream come true, and the custom mocktail Peachtree made for us was one of our favorite parts of the wedding and people are still complimenting it weeks later.
Peachtree was also incredibly accommodating of our unique requests. When we toured the Willows, we fell in love with one particular part of the property for the ceremony. Even though no one had done their ceremony there before, Grace and Peachtree made it happen flawlessly. And, when we wanted to do the ceremony outdoors in 30 degree weather, no one batted an eye. They also created a second dining room for us so that our more COVID conscious guests had a safer space to eat.
Grace was a dream. She always followed through on our questions, she made all our requests happen, and our day went off without a hitch. You can’t do better than the Willows, Peachtree, and Grace- truly a dream team.

We had a lovely fall wedding at The Willows and were lucky to work with Stephanie as our coordinator. The venue and surrounding landscape is stunning, and the food was amazing. We received many lovely compliments.
As the couple, our day was easy breezy. We were kept informed as needed but we mostly just got to enjoy our day after 1.5 years of planning. Stephanie was so helpful throughout the planning process and on the day. She was always responsive, very knowledgeable, and she was fun and fit into our crowd perfectly. She also went above and beyond with the personalized touches and had a little something to surprise us on ur day! We also had the lovely George attend to our every need while we got ready in the bridal suite and he made everyone feel very special and relaxed!
We are so grateful we chose Peachtree and The Willows for our wedding day and are lucky to say that we wouldn’t change a thing :)

They honestly were the best. Lindsey Keane was our wedding coordinator and she was on top of everything and went above and beyond for us all the time. The food was amazing and the staff were amazing on the day of the wedding. For what you get, this is priced so incredibly fairly.

Peachtree and the Willows made for an unforgettable day and an amazing wedding. The venue at the Willows is charming and beautiful. Rain or shine the venue has everything you might need; the interior building is lovely and spacious! Many options for food and every dish was delicious! Micah, Ashley, and the entire staff did a wonderful job on the day making everything perfect! Micah is an amazing coordinator and had a plan for everything! Truly made our wedding dream come true!

We got married at The Willows in October of 2024 and from start to finish the experience was superb. Peachtree makes every client feel as if they are the only ones in the world and it was nothing short of a joy to work with them. They are the definition of above and beyond. Beautiful venue and a rockstar team!

Me and my husband just hosted our wedding at the Willows on September 27th! We toured a few venues before this one but as soon as we saw the willows we fell in love. The staff and service were amazing as well as all the food. Our coordinator Micah was so helpful in the planning process with all of our questions. I could not recommend this venue/caterer more!

The wedding venue is such a beautiful and romantic setting! We loved working with Grace. She was on top of everything and really helped us to clarify and finalize our vision for the day. All the support staff were so helpful on that day to make sure that the groom and I were fed and has a drink on our hands when we needed it. 10/10!!

Five-star experience working with Peachtree Catering at The Willows! Stephanie Guizio was our Event Planner for Peachtree. She was so easy to work with, fun to be around, and extremely competent in dealing with multiple unexpected situations due to the weather! She knew just what to do and handled it all beautifully. The day of the wedding the forecast called for wind, rain, thunder, and high humidity. We felt somewhat deflated in mood, but Stephanie came to the rescue with multiple ideas and solutions that turned out even better than we hoped! She executed these decisions without any fuss and navigated smoothly and on time. She even had the florist set up flowers outside during a very brief moment of sunshine so we could get photos! Then the flowers magically went back inside for the ceremony. We are “foodies” who expect the highest quality hors-d’oeuvres, dinner food, and wine. We were very well satisfied with all of it and the loveliness of the venue! Their catering charges include their priceless, dedicated Event Planners, which made all the difference! The venue is so lovely, you will not be disappointed, rain or shine.

We had our wedding in April 2023. We had fallen in love with the venue on the very first tour. The mansion is gorgeous, and the surrounding greenery is breathtaking. We loved working with the Peachtree team, especially Grace. She kept us informed and on track through every step of the way, so we are so thankful to her for keeping this process smooth and stress-free. Our guests also had an amazing time, and they are still complimenting the delicious food to this day! The Willows will always have a special place in my heart.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Willows on 11/11/2023 and it was absolutely perfect! The food, cocktails, and service were outstanding! We were extremely impressed as were so many of our guests! We loved that guests had many different places to mingle throughout the night. The grounds are just so beautiful! Everyone that we worked with during the process were so great and extremely nice. Our questions were always answered and we were kept informed from the moment we toured the venue to when we had our reception. We are so thrilled that we chose this venue, it was the best decision ever! I highly recommend The Willows, you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I had the best wedding weekend at the Willows. The setting is stunning. There are rolling hills and water features. The leaves had just started changing color so we had beautiful autumn colors in the trees. The food and drink was amazing. The space was perfect for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The staff working the event was incredible. And Grace in particular was an absolute joy to work with. She made our night so easy and beautiful. To a person, all our friends and family had an amazing time and that's in large part thanks to Grace. I'm so grateful we got to work with Grace and host our wedding at the Willows.

We don’t even know where to begin. The Willows was everything we could have hoped and imagined. As soon as we had a tour with Dana we knew this was where we were going to get married. It was breathtaking and my (now)wife didn’t even bother looking elsewhere. The ceremony site, the grounds, the inside of the mansion all felt like a magazine. All we heard and still hear are people telling us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been too!
Peachtree was also absolutely incredible! Lindsay and Marley made our wedding day so smooth and we can’t thank them enough. They were a dream to work with and took all the areas out of the day and we they let us fully enjoy every second. The entire Peachtree team were true professionals and everything was seamless. We couldn’t be happier and recommend them 10/10 times. Thank you!

am so, so glad my wife and I had our wedding at the Willows. It's an unbelievable space that suited our tastes perfectly, and the team at Peachtree was incredible in making the day more special than I could have ever hoped. We had an all-vegan menu that our guests have been raving about all week, and the tented reception space was warm and vibrant even though it was an unexpectedly rainy day. As such, we ended up having our ceremony indoors in the solarium, and listening to the rain softly falling on the skylight windows that span nearly the entire ceiling turned our wedding into a truly dreamlike experience. There's really not enough I can say about this place and the wonderful people who run it!
