From the start White Willow Meadows was impressive. My daughter took me there, telling me this was the perfect venue for her wedding. Internally I thought "A Barn???".
From the road the first thing I noticed was the dairy barn. It looks like a well kept barn with a silo but I was wondering what to expect. Turning the corner I saw the main building which keeps the theme of the barn but definitely looks like it has a strong potential for a beautiful venue. I really had no idea what I was about to see inside.
The inside was stunning and I understood why my daughter wanted this venue. The high ceilings, wood pillars, chandeliers, and wall of windows all brought that WOW factor. Opposite of the windows was a long wooden staircase and I immediately envisioned walking down with my daughter.
During the final walkthrough I raised a concern about the floor. The owner, Angela, called me and confirmed they were aware of it and were already taking steps to fix it before our big day. Our conversation reinforced my confidence in their commitment to ensuring a flawless event.
On the day of the wedding everything was fixed. Everything was stunning (including my daughter - if I may brag). The staff were on the ball, taking care of anything we needed. At times they were hustling around to help or set up heaters outside, but even in their hustle they were smiling and asking if we needed anything. Walking my daughter down the steps to the attendees was better than I could have imagined. She was beaming. Everyone had a fantastic time and told us how much they loved the venue.
To top all of this off, the bride and groom stayed the night after the wedding in the Dairy Barn. It was set more like a house and they could easily turn that into a vacation rental.
TL;DR: White Willows offers an exceptional experience that extends beyond what photographs can convey. The venue's ambiance and the professionalism of the staff create a truly memorable occasion. Their commitment to ensuring a flawless event is evident in every detail.

A Dream Wedding Venue!
We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding at White Willow Meadows, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the perfect place for her wedding. The venue is breathtaking, with stunning views and beautifully maintained grounds that provided a picturesque backdrop for her special day.
The owner of White Willow Meadows, Angela, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, she was professional, attentive, and incredibly organized. She happened to be at the venue on Ally’s wedding day and even helped set up our dessert table! Her communication was seamless, and she made us feel like we were their top priority throughout the entire planning process.
The venue’s indoor and outdoor spaces offered so much flexibility, allowing us to create the best flow for Ally and Eric’s ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how everything came together perfectly.
The bridal suite was absolutely ideal in every way and made getting ready for the wedding such a joyful and stress-free experience. The space was beautifully decorated, spacious, and filled with natural light, which made it amazing for photos and for my daughter and her bridal party to relax and prepare for the big day. The groom’s space was masculine yet sophisticated, with comfortable seating, great lighting, and plenty of space. The thoughtful amenities like the pool table, TVs, game system, bar, and private area complete with mirrors and lockers to hang their wedding day attire really made a difference.
In addition to the venue, they also have a beautiful Airbnb on the property. We used this space for our rehearsal dinner, and the bridal party stayed overnight.
We are so grateful to Angela and White Willow Meadows for making my daughter's wedding day so special and unforgettable. It was the perfect venue, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a place that combines beauty, professionalism, and personalized service, look no further. Highly recommend it!

Incredible Wedding Weekend at White Willow Meadows!
We had our wedding at White Willow Meadows, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our day-of coordinator, Tori, was amazing—she was so knowledgeable and sweet, and she helped keep everything on track without any stress. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through the day.
One of our favorite parts was staying at The Dairy Barn. It’s such a cool space! It sleeps 14 people, so we had our closest family and friends stay there with us. We used it for our rehearsal dinner, had a big after-party (with around 45-50 people), and even had a brunch the next morning. Having that space right there was perfect—we didn’t have to worry about finding a place to go after the wedding, which was such a relief.
The flowers from Willow, the florist, were absolutely beautiful. They were exactly what I had imagined, and they added the perfect touch to our day. Angela was also amazing to work with—she made sure everything was handled smoothly from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a venue where you can truly relax and enjoy your wedding weekend, White Willow Meadows is the perfect place!

I can’t say enough about this absolutely gorgeous venue and the incredible staff who made my day and all the days leading up to it so perfect. We booked the venue during the construction phase, and Angela Norman was available morning noon and night to answer every question and provide us with all the reassurance we needed to feel confident the venue would be ready for our big day. Not only was it ready, but it surpassed all of our expectations. Ashley, our day of coordinator was outstanding and her attention to detail and knowledge was top of the line, Two of my bridesmaids are planning to book at WWM, and I can’t wait to go back to the venue and enjoy it again. Our magical night was perfect thanks to the staff and the stunning venue. Our guests continue to talk about how beautiful our day was and how beautiful WWM is. Our wedding photos were so amazing, as there are so many perfect places for pictures. From start to finish, our experience was top notch, and my husband and I are both very particular. I would not have changed one thing about my experience and we are grateful for everyone who helped pull everything together to create our dream day! Thank you, White Willow Meadows!

I’m deeply disheartened to share my experience with White Willow Meadows (WWM), owned by Angela Norm, during my wedding on September 2, 2024. Despite this being a beautiful venue (which is the only reason there are 2 stars), here’s a rundown of the issues we faced:
1. Inappropriate Behavior: One of my guests overheard a highly inappropriate comment from our day-of coordinator, Elizabeth Robinett, about a women's confidence in wearing her dress. This brought concern that she was talking about one of my guests, one of my bridesmaids, or even more heartbreaking - me as the bride. When confronted, she denied it, which was unacceptable and a lie as she and the other WWM staff member had no material that they were looking at a previous wedding. Professionalism is crucial in this industry, and such remarks are completely out of line.
2. Substandard Coordination: Elizabeth's disinterest in going beyond the minimum was frustrating and added unnecessary stress to our big day. In the days leading up to our wedding, I seemingly needed to convince her that in her position as day of coordinator she should be helping with certain kinds of tasks.
3. Poor Audio Quality: Despite assurances of a state-of-the-art sound system, the audio was dreadful. Key speeches, including those of the maid of honor, best man, and even myself, were barely audible. We were also unable to hear anything the DJ was saying, which made things difficult and stressful because we were on a tight timeline. The DJ’s attempts to schedule a sound check were ignored, leading to many moments being lost.
4. Bartending Service Issues: We were told we could choose our own licensed bartender but were later forced to use one from a company, resulting in subpar service and a widely negative impact on our event.
5. Planning Process Troubles: From the start, the planning was fraught with issues. Angela Norm was unprepared for our first meeting by not properly notating our meeting date and time resulting in double-booking our time and showing a lack of organization. The limited availability of staff made scheduling difficult, and even payment processes were a hassle.
6. Miscommunication and Stress: The day after our wedding, we were asked if we were checking out of the Dairy Barn despite our contract specifying that we had occupancy for both the wedding night and the following night. This miscommunication added unnecessary stress to what should have been a joyful time.
Given the significant amount we spent, the level of service fell far short of what was promised. I would strongly advise others to reconsider before booking with WWM.
My husband and I will never get this day back and I hope this feedback serves as a warning to engaged couples and encourages WWM to reevaluate their approach to client service.
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and while this building is very beautiful, no couple should have to endure such disappointing service.

Dear Melissa,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experie...
nce at White Willow Meadows didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide excellent service, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns in detail.
1. Inappropriate Behavior Claim:
The comment you referenced appears to be hearsay, and while we cannot verify the specifics, we know our team and are confident this did not occur. Even if such a comment was made, it seems more like a compliment, acknowledging someone’s confidence in their appearance. Our staff is professional and committed to ensuring that all guests are treated with the utmost respect.
2. Substandard Coordination:
The task you referenced involved managing the flow of hundreds of guests through three different doorways during your cocktail hour, while photos were being taken in the main room. This is exactly why we have sliding barn doors between these areas—to help control guest movement during such moments. Unfortunately, when you declined our coordinator’s recommendation to close the doors, it became difficult to manage the situation. Despite these challenges, our coordinator did everything possible within the parameters set, and we regret that this added to your stress during the event.
3. Audio Quality Issues with DJ:
White Willow Meadows requires that DJs who are working at our venue for the first time conduct a site visit to ensure familiarity with our system. Your DJ, however, confirmed that they chose not to schedule a site visit and did not reach out to us at any point before the event. Additionally, the DJ used their own microphones and did not balance the inputs within our system, which is a step covered during our site visit process. For context, we hosted weddings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before your Monday wedding, and again on the following Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, all without any sound issues. The challenges you experienced were due to the DJ’s decision not to complete these critical steps.
4. Bartending Service:
Our policy requires bartenders to be licensed, insured, and part of a reputable company to ensure responsible alcohol service. This policy is in place for the safety of all guests and to prevent over-serving, as well as to ensure that proper professional standards are met. We do not permit individuals who obtain a one-time license for a single event, as they may lack the experience and oversight necessary to manage alcohol responsibly. The choice of bartender was yours, and any issues with their service should be addressed directly with the company you selected.
5. Planning Process Troubles:
We sincerely apologize for the double-booking during your initial tour, which was an isolated incident. Across the hundreds of tours we conduct, this is extremely rare. Since then, you had at least three formal planning meetings to review and confirm all aspects of your wedding, which is standard practice at WWM. Additionally, we always accommodate more meetings if requested by the couple, and in your case, we even met off-hours at our florist’s building to suit your availability. Payments can be made by phone, in person, or by check, and we structure them to reduce financial stress. Angela is available 24/7 to address any concerns, and we wish you had reached out earlier so we could have resolved any issues ahead of time.
6. Miscommunication Regarding Occupancy:
The situation with the Dairy Barn was an innocent oversight. Since your wedding took place on a Monday, the cleaning crew arrived on Tuesday, as scheduled, to clean the Main Barn. They were unaware that the Dairy Barn was still in use. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and any added stress it may have caused.
At White Willow Meadows, we work hard to make every wedding special, and we regret that this experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and are always happy to discuss these matters further if you'd like to connect directly.
Sincerely,
The White Willow Meadows Team

They worked with our caterers, decorators, horse, music band very well giving extra time and attention.
