Willow Creek Wedding & Event Venue

ssigned on the day of the wedding!! SHE WAS AMAZING!! The venue itself was beautiful. They are very communicative. We were very pleased with the service, attention to detail, and kindness shown throughout. They walked us through everything we needed to know and do to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. It was awesome to be able to have the venue for pretty much the whole day. I felt like we had ample time to get everything set up and I also loved that you can get ready at the house right there. Multiple guests commented on how beautiful it was. EVERYONE has told me what a wonderful time they had and some even the best wedding they have ever been to! The staff truly works to give you your perfect day! I could not have pulled my dream wedding off without their expertise! We were also able to bring in our own vendors, which I think cut down on costs some as well. They were truly a joy to work with and would recommend them to anyone with any wedding vision! I would highly highly recommend getting married here!!! We loved everything about it!

r. My family members are already talking about how much they had and that they would like to have an event there lol. They made sure I was taken care of from beginning to end and I look forward to having any future events at Willow Creek.

essful having to plan everything out with the venue- it was the worst part of the whole wedding planning experience. Eventually I got so stressed out that I just let my mom handle all the communication with the venue, and at that point things got better. But, the venue is beautiful so I don’t want this review to be all negative, but it just wasn’t what I was expecting based off of the reviews I had read, so I’m trying to give a different perspective.

indoor space to have the ceremony in the middle of a Texas summer! All in all it was amazing!

very nice, and what really sold us was what all was included. We had our 60-day meeting and everything went super well. Flash forward to the wedding day, it was magical. Our coordinator, Olivia, was amazing and helped make sure the day ran smoothly! All of our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue and we couldn't have asked for a better day!

udget. We recently had our big day on April 11th. The venue managers and day of coordinator (Jenn) and bar staff were so lovely to work with, and honestly helped in every way they could. They didn’t charge crazy fees and weren’t picky about what vendors could or could not be at my wedding. This was important to me because I had a lot of friends and family doing things like floral, cake, sweets, video and more. The bridal house was a huge selling point for us, because we have large families and wanted to also give the groom a good space to hang out in all day instead of some small bedroom. Overall, the day couldn’t have been any more perfect when it comes to Texas weather, as we found ourselves in low 80s and mid 70s by nightfall. We were able to enjoy their outdoor Bar Betty trailer during the reception and have an indoor bar inside. The only negative side to the venue is it may be a little further away from the highways, or downtown Dallas, but I’m telling you it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! This made it quiet and peaceful. We kept hearing from guests that this was one of the most beautiful weddings they attended, and I give the credit to this beautiful garden like venue that made my dreams come true. Thank you!!!

events lost my paper work. It was a huge bummer I had to go back and fill it in myself a few weeks before my wedding and even then it wasn’t followed. My wedding day was amazing, but there were a few things on my schedule that were not followed by my day of coordinator. I did have a party planner hired but the day of coordinator provided by the venue was very rude to her. The venue provides you with a meeting and a day of coordinator but you will have to be on your toes with the details. Also they have their preferred vendors but keep in mind you do not have to go with them if you don’t want to. Especially if it will break your pocket and go over your budget. Overall pretty good venue with gorgeous views!

had the most amazing experience. The event coordinator, Shannon, was very communicative, attentive, and willing to support our every need. This establishment is gorgeous. The ceremony and cocktail hour were impeccable, and the flow of our entire reception was, again, more than I could’ve ever hoped for. I will continue to frequent this establishment. It’s a very comfortable, beautiful, service supportive winery. I’m grateful that this location will be a part of my forever memories. My life changed at this place. It’s a very special venue.

ption if the weather doesn’t cooperate) to the bride/groom quarters for getting ready (seriously, the bride’s quarters will not be matched anywhere else!) to the tons of options you have included that are FREE, and even some that are additional charge - it made planning our January wedding a breeze! We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out and the support of the staff was like no other. Thank you so much, Willow Creek, for making Our Day the absolute BEST!!

ited to get married here!

ith couples to make their day special! We cannot wait for our wedding in April!

u Willow Creek!

commend.

ve hoped for as a bride. Everyone here is so communicative and over-the-top kind and helpful. HIGHLY recommend to anyone getting married!

cause she was told by venue staff at 8:15 that they needed to clean up decorations outside when only one thing was hanging! They were very unprofessional in a background stand point and I hope no other mother of the bride has to go through what my mom did!

gh room to be able to move around while trying to get ready. The staff that was working my wedding were nice and helpful. I think Ally was my onsite coordinator and she was really sweet and helpful throughout the night. If you are looking for a beautiful venue out in the country, you should definitely choose Willow Creek!

questions that I had and always gave a response pretty fast. What I loved about this venue is I could go there as many times that I wanted and since I booked a long engagement it really came in handy. When they build and made this place they took everything into consideration with every detail down to exits and decor. Without adding anything this venue is absolutely beautiful and the atrium is what sold it for me. They offer a lot of free stuff you can use and plenty of awesome rentals. I love how they have a different rental on sale every month in their newsletter and I did a lot of my rentals when they were on sale. The day of all of the staff was amazing and I didn’t feel any glitches or anything. I had a wedding coordinator on top of all the staff Willowcreek provides the day of so everything was taken care of. My coordinator really talked about how amazing they are to work with and how easy going they are. I really can’t recommend enough how amazing this venue and the staff are. They made everything so easy when wedding planning can get stressful and hard.

happy space for this happy event. Working with the event planning team from Willow Creek was a breeze and they were very communicative throughout the entire process. They handled our event with as much importance as a wedding. They really go above and beyond for every type of booking. Our guests told us over and over again how beautiful the venue was and I have to agree! I really could not think of a more beautiful venue to have captured this forever memory.

ers, and beautiful decor! Save the hassle and book here!

nt to get married outside but have an inside option as a plan B.

ire process of booking up to the day of. highly recommend this beautiful venue ♡

id not have the space. The venue is beautiful inside and out. Also were were concerned about bathrooms and the area for bride and groom with their attendants. Bathrooms are very important because guests are not going to want to wait in line forever. Most venues had very small areas. This one offers an entire home for brides and a beautifully converted garage space for the groom with pool table, dressing area and TV. We would highly recommend it.

ing party to spend the day in getting ready. Each room is dedicated and designed to accommodate each role. The bridesmaids have a beautiful room with great lighting and many mirrors to get ready in. The grooms room is at a separate part of the house to ensure no “sneak peaks” before the ceremony. The grooms room also provides everything a man could imagine having in his very own man cave to be entertained and enjoy the day. They even provide a mother’s room for the bride and grooms mothers and family members to feel special and get ready in as well. They have a dreamy bridge to walk down to the alter, that has large trees and vines surrounding it, along with a beautiful water stream below. The alter is all white and includes one of my favorite things, a church bell that can be rung in celebration of saying “I do”. The reception hall is a very short walking distance from the alter for guest accommodation. The reception hall includes up lights, chandeliers, large windows, ceiling beams, and a granite bar. There is so much more this place has to offer, I could go on for days! The team is very response to all emails. They allow outside vendors, allowing for unique and personal weddings. Above all, they have monthly informative emails with monthly specials on many rental items making it easier and more budget friendly for your special day! Needless to say, we are so anxious to have our special day at Willow Creek! Macy and Jose April 17, 2020

l with everything !! Extremely recommend, it shouldn’t even have to be a thought.

home instead of a ballroom, even with my 300 guests!

were shocked by the exorbitant late fees that we were charged by the venue. We were supposed to be done by 1AM but due to how slow the wedding coordinator (assigned by the venue) was, our noted time of check out was 1:17. For being 17 minutes late which wasn't even our fault we got charged $200 in "late fee". Then we found out that we got charged $100 for something the venue called "excessive cleaning" which wasn't even noted on the check out paper that was turned in at 1:17. So the venue charged us these outrageous fees for things that weren't even our fault. To us it feels like they wanted to squeeze extra money out of a newly married couple. Due to this bad experience I DO NOT recommend Willow Creek as your future wedding venue. The whole experience post wedding that we received from the venue was unprofessional, unfriendly, unfair, and borderline unethical.

of them. The team at Willow Creek goes above and beyond expectations. We wanted an electrical outlet for the atrium so our DJ could play music for the ceremony, and Barbara brought out an electrician and had them install an outlet for our wedding. Two days before our wedding, the glass window next to the fireplace in the atrium was shattered with a rock and they weren't sure if they would able to replace it in time. When we arrived to the venue on the day of the wedding, they had just finished installing a brand new glass window and Barbara was there mopping up water from the rain that had come in. The property is gorgeous and the employees are so wonderful. Everyone who attended our wedding commented on how incredible the venue was and how well thought out the property was. Willow Creek and Barbara made our wedding so wonderful!

day easy and fun while making sure your own personal touch shines through. I would definitely recommend this venue!

. It was awesome to be able to have the venue for pretty much the whole day. I felt like we had ample time to get everything set up and I also loved that you can get ready at the house right there, so I could pop into the reception area and make sure everything was set up in between getting hair and makeup done. Multiple guests commented on how beautiful it was. We were also able to bring in our own vendors, which I think cut down on costs some as well. I would highly highly recommend getting married here!!! We loved everything about it!

d any and all questions I had over my engagement. Everyone made sure that our wedding day was special and memorable!

ht it was going to rain all morning, but we weren't too concerned because of the alternate indoor ceremony space. It ended up not raining, and the wedding and reception was everything I had dreamed of and more. Jenn, the event manager, was amazing. I would highly recommend using the additional service of having an event manager!

ions or needed advice, and were accommodating of all requests and needs. I cannot say enough great things about WC. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts!!

ide or inside and both options have their own beauty to add to your day and your photos. They include quite a few items in their price for the venue and the items that are not included are all very reasonably priced. They were all so kind, welcoming, and understanding with us and answered all our questions every step of the way. Thank you again Willow Creek for making our day one to remember.

ng. The venue was beautiful and everything was ready exactly how we had planned for it. Also, our day of contact Melissa was fabulous! Our families and I had the best time thanks to Willow Creek and their amazing staff.

mony starting, I was looking for whoever was suppose to be there from the venue to help us with the wireless headpiece microphone for my pastor. It was literally minutes before the ceremony was suppose to start and we couldn't find neither where the mic was left or the person from WC staff that was suppose to help us on site. Guests were waiting for an hour b/c of that delay AND b/c of technical difficulties from the sound board that the staff provides with the venue. I understand technical difficulties are maybe out of of their hand but again, the person that was suppose to be on site to help us connect and make sure the sound from the barn was ready.. Wasn’t available. I specifically had asked a few days before the wedding started when we were finalizing the final details with their staff for the sound to be ready no later than 4pm so we can have music playing for when guests arrive at 4:30 and the ceremony to be ready to start by 5. The ceremony didn’t start till 5:30 b/c of the delay of the missing mic and b/c of the technical difficulties that no one could figure out since the staff from WC wasn’t there to assist with what they were responsible for since 4pm. We had to cut the ceremony short since we lost half an hour of sunlight since the sun was setting quickly and still needed to take photos with our families, bridal party, and us two. I was very disappointed with Willow Creek’s staff after being so professional and quick to respond months prior to the wedding. After we took photos I met the girl that was suppose to be there from the beginning. Apparently there a mix up of the time she was suppose to have arrived since there was a change of venue managers. I understand there was a transition of staff however, it greatly affected the ceremony of my wedding which is ultimately is the most important part of the big day and cut our time by half which was something that I was very disappointed by. After that, everything else went smoothly. I hope this can later to avoided with any future brides.

knew Willow Creek was the place for us after our tour. The venue is beautiful and I had so many compliments about it from all of our guests. I would definitely recommend Willow Creek.

is always in top shape. They go out of their way to make sure you are happy and satisfied with everything. The only thing that did bother me was that we felt we were rushed. We had the venue until 1 am but from 11 forward everything seemed like they were trying to get us out of the place before 12. Other than that I would definitely still pick Willow Creek, that place doesn’t need much for decorations; It’s perfect as is. Definitely a venue I recommend

initely use Willow Creek.

even helped us find other vendors through their preferred list. I highly recommend Willow Creek! Thank you so much for bringing my dream wedding to life! Xoxo

out in August. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!!

day, expect about 2-3 emails per week reminding you that they will withhold your 500 refundable deposit if the venue is left dirtier than when you got there. They will try to sell you a staff to clean for you but their only role is to clean up major spills and take out the trash. Reminder, you have to pay for them, so you technically only get back 400 dollars if you purchase the cleaning staff. You will review your arrangements with the event coordinator there and still get emails on decisions you did not make. For example, I received about 5 emails requesting our bar tender sign a contract AFTER we told them we were not serving alcohol at all. Don’t expect any grass to be mowed anywhere else other than directly around the cobble stone seating area. So if you want pictures with scenery you will have to truck through tall weeds and get bit up. One of my biggest concerns was on the wedding day, someone else was scheduled to tour the property. Yes, on the day that we paid thousands of dollars to rent the entire property for. We found random people inside the getting ready house looking around while all of our clothes and rings were in there. DANGEROUS!!! The staff asked us multiple times to allow them to continue touring the property but we told them no because they should have payed more attention to their schedule. This took time out of what time we had to set up for the wedding. Lastly: we made sure the venue was CLEANER than what it was when we got there and were told we would get the 500 dollars back within 30 days. I called a couple days before day 30 and was told it was sent out already. A few days past day 30 and still no check. I called back and they said they didn’t even know what address to send it to. After giving them the address to send it to (which was already listed in the initial contract) they said it would be another week before it could come in. We had to drive back over there to pick it up in person because the whole thing started to seem too sketchy. I do not recommend this venue at all.

r flexible about my schedule and my meetings because I had to fly out for them. Down to the wedding day? We had everything we needed! The main house was SO NICE to get ready in! All of my bridesmaids were in awe when they walked in to the room, definitely impressed! The boys LOVED the grooms lounge, had a blast goofing around pre-wedding. I didn’t even feel bad for making them show up super early! The ceremony site (Gazebo) is beautiful!! All of it is, really. The place is well put together, well managed, and well maintained. I was very very pleased!! Thank you Willow Creek!

off without their expertise! They have a preferred vendors list which without a doubt was my saving grace. They are always finding new ways to improve their venue and your experience! Truly a joy to work with and would recommend them to anyone with any wedding vision!

s a magical space to get ready in! The staff was supportive and thorough! Allie made the day of our wedding 100% flawless! All of our guests raved about how special, unique and gorgeous the venue was! We LOVE Willow Creek!

n hall. Also, they have a list of vendors that made everything easy to plan. Love the place and would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful, beautiful place to get married.

our without sitting in the hot weather ! The gazebo was beautiful for our ceremony. The reception hall has plenty of space with a full bar, bathrooms and a place for your caterer! Barbara and Allie have been such a pleasure to do work with! I am so happy that I decided to pick This location! I will definitely be recommending it to any bride to Be!

y been updated too. Definitely recommend it for a wedding of 250 or less.

, but I do want to stress that we still had a wonderful event here-there is just definite room for improvement with a few specific things. Pros -- The outdoor spaces hooked me here, along with the spacious bridal house and beautifully done indoor ceremony space and reception hall. The layout of the entire premises was impressive and the details they have thought of to make things flow smoothly were impressive. They provide linens, a police officer, and bartender which made the planning even easier than anticipated-as did their vendor recommendations. Areas for improvement -- While we were constantly told to contact them with any questions or concerns, given their phone numbers, etc., there were many times where responses took several days (not the standard 48 hours they advertise) and/or information was incomplete when given. The actual wedding day also didn't go quite as smoothly as we had wanted in a couple of areas. The steamer that they advertise as being available was nowhere to be found, and while they eventually came with another one, there was so little time left to get my dress/veil in order that I ended up not able to wear my veil due to the chaos and timing. Two weeks after my wedding, I was contacted saying that "the steamer went missing after my wedding" and could I please check with my family/wedding party to see if they had it. Having, at this point, to communicate that I had been the one to point out it was missing in the first place was just frustrating. The night of the wedding, the event coordinator pulled my husband and I aside and spoke to us about giving a review, even stating specific areas that we should mention we liked, which felt strange and ill-timed. After we left, she asked my aunt (not involved in the wedding at all) to sign off on the fact that we were done cleaning even though she told her more than once that my mom was the one coordinating everything. She repeatedly asked if we were done when they still had more than 30 minutes left to clean and it stressed my family out to the point that things were too hastily removed/packed which led to unfortunate things like the top tier of our cake being ruined, which was really disappointing for us to hear later.

owed me the equipment that I could use and was very accommodating and super nice. She kept asking if I needed anything or had any questions, and she was always very easy to find if I did need something or had a question. I also had the pleasure of meeting the venue owners that evening at the wedding. They were guests of the groom's mother. They were also accommodating and had a few questions about my equipment and how I use wireless signals to hook into their system. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST Willow Creek to anybody looking to get married there. It is beautiful and pristine, and you won't regret it!

y house is perfect, they have tons of options to make your wedding day unique and special. I felt like they took such great care of us throughout the entire process. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a sweet wedding venue, even on a budget. It comes with so much built in to the price!

ek also responded quickly to emails and was very helpful in finding vendors. The bridal house and reception spaces are beautiful and I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

oved the rustic look and all the outdoor places you could take pictures and the reception hall was beautiful. The Event Coordinator and Owner were so helpful all the way to the day of my wedding and my wedding was great until my bird cage was stolen during the reception. I was hurt that my bird cage with cards that guest gave me was stolen. After some time looking for it, it was found by the event manager. She stated she found it in a trash bag. After returning to the venue the next day to look at footage with the owner, the area where the bird cage was placed didn’t show on the camera. However, I did notice the event manager on the camera took a trash can to a closet and moments later came out with the same trash can. About 30 minutes later, you can see her walking into the reception hall with the bird cage from around the corner. When she said it had been found, she stated the Event staff, the guy helping her had found it but on the camera she had my bird cage in her hand. Although you can’t see her take it on camera her actions seem to show otherwise. Four cards were stolen from my bird cage and the other cards remained in the bird cage. After further investigation into the situation I was able to find out from Social Media that the police officer, who was also working my event was the event manager’s husband. I was not notified of their relationship. Overall, Willow Creek is a lovely and beautiful venue and the event Coordinator and Owner are amazing but I would not recommend the Event manager, the additional assistant staff member or the police officer to work any other weddings.

and the venue is set up with no detailed missed made it so easy to have the PERFECT day. The fact that you can set up appointments with ease, can easily communicate via email, and have two meetings 60 and 30 days out to make sure no detail is missed with Allie helped so much. If I could do it all over again I would do it all the same, especially with the perfect sunset we had on our wedding date 11/17/17, yes they even made sure the sunsets right behind the white gazebo in the fall months, my guests and wedding party are still talking about our perfect day and I have to say I can't take credit for it all because the vendors on their vendor lists as well as Willow Creek made it so incredibly easy to have the best day of our lives! Thank you to all of the staff for everything you did, you all are absolutely amazing!!!
