I have been in the Design and Event business for several years now. I am also the co-owner of Boliver Hill Designs, LLC which is a successful interior design company. After designing for several types of events I saw a need for a unique venue in a beautiful location that would allow my staff and me to create an entire experience. I chose Waxahachie because of its country feel right in the heart of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. My goal was to bring you into a secluded and enchanting environment both inside and out so that you could have the confidence that your dream would come true!

My daughter's event was in October. She bought a package which included bar tenders but had to purchase her own or go without. The person in charge was very unprofessional and let me know she had to fill in for someone that partied too hard at a concert the night before. The premium prices here do not include any clean-up. The set up is not easy to understand, having to walk across rocks to get to a mobile drink place..the sun room is excruciatingly hot. But hey, they include a couple of rooms in a house for the bridal party.

When we first toured Willow Creek, everything about the venue blew my mind. It had everything that I visioned for the Wedding. Willow Creek was the first venue that we toured and while touring other venues, we’d kept Willow Creek in mind and decided to get married there. I felt like we were in good hands with the staff as well, and they seemed passionate to help with Wedding. Also the staff does a good job with answering our questions prior to the Wedding as well.

We fell in love with Willow Creek as soon as we toured. It has so many different, well-designed spaces for different parts on the wedding and for guests to enjoy. We had great communication with the Coordinators and were able to schedule multiple visits throughout the year of planning. Everything is maintained beautifully, and our wedding went by without a hitch. They make things so easy by offering so many included items as well as very reasonably priced rentals.

It is the most beautiful venue! I had the best party experience thanks to how organized the vendor is. It seemed like a lot but it helped us to all be on the same page. I can remember almost everything that happened on my wedding day because the wedding planner provided by the venue was with us every step of the way. Not only was the venue beautiful, but it was also very clean and organized just how we planned it out. The getting ready suites for the bride and groom were very spacious and had everything we needed and great lighting. I’m sure the pictures will come out amazing ! Thank you so much for making my wedding memorable!

All though my wedding isn't on till Oct. 10.2024 I am so excited to be getting married here! From the moment I saw the space, I was in love. The gazebo perfectly captures the sunset, and with all the wide open space, you get the feel like there is no one else in the world. I wish I could describe how beautiful this place is. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into it all! My favorite part is that it's pet friendly, so my puppy gets to be a part of our special day too. Everyone is so nice. They are always quick to answer my email and never make me feel like I'm asking stupid questions. They allowed us to take engagement pictures at no extra cost, and the whole time, my photographer was raving about how amazingly beautiful the place is.

I had the hardest battle of eloping or moving forward with a wedding. Sifting through so many venues, I'm beyond bless to have found this gem!
The owner is amazing, easy to talk to, and is open about the venue and its amenities. Pictures do not give this place justice! Walking through the atrium, party house, ceremony space, and finally the reception hall, you also get to learn about the level of detail put in place to make the wedding date just a little less stressful. I highly recommend touring if you are undecided!
I can't wait to for 11/16/2024 to come by and make a dream a reality <3

Completely delighted with every aspect of our experience at Willow Creek! From the day of our first visit to the moment of our sparkler send off, we could not have been more impressed with Barbara and her staff! The venue is absolutely amazing with an attention to detail that is second to none. We had a very small, intimate wedding (second wedding for both of us), and we felt that we found the perfect place to begin our journey together. The attention to detail, professionalism and value make this venue an awesome choice for your big day!

We loved this venue! After touring this venue, we started comparing every other venue to them, and knew it was the one for us. The staff was so friendly and helpful from our first tour, to every planning email, all the way to the big day. It was the most beautiful landscape for our celebration and called for minimal decorations. We loved how many amenities were included, and how much space we had to get ready & utilize on the day of. The white gazebo was our favorite part and made for a beautiful ceremony space! I would 10/10 recommend this venue to everyone!

My Wedding day was magical although a lot went wrong. My biggest disappointment was that the main planner quit without sending through my final updates so on the big day a lot was incorrect (tables missing, things not added, specialty drinks incorrect, etc). I hope going forward, if this inconvenience happens again to another bride, the venue will reach out to the Bride ahead of time to ensure everything the venue has planned aligns with the Bride's plans so the Bride's big day isn't jeopardized due to the planner quitting without notice. The Venue was beautiful and my day-of coordinator was great.

We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

The venue was beautiful, a lot of variety and space, but not very accessible in places for wheelchair users. There are many rules, extra costs and fines. Want tables in the atrium- extra fee, want to throw popcorn to be environment friendly, clean up fine if it gets stuck in the bushes. Lack of attention to details- Wedding Coord. was missing several details the day of the rehearsal and was just not a good fit for our party, even offended one of the bridesmaids. Their bartender sent one of the guests out to get larger cups for the beer! There has been no apology for the issues we encountered and messaged them about. Just not the 5 star experience we were expecting or paid for. Disappointed.
Vendor response 08/28/2023
We are so glad your daughters spent their very special day with us, they were great to wor...
k with. I want to say that we have had SEVERAL wedding parties & guests in wheelchairs and they all move around the property easily as did your other daughter. I've reviewed your invoice and I don't see any extra fees or fines. You actually received over $500 in promotional rental items, an extra 30-minute rehearsal at no charge because several people were late, and we did not charge you for being almost an hour late at the end of the night ($300). Those all total around $800 free. We did explain that anything thrown (popcorn) that can't be easily cleaned up before the next day's bride MAY have an extra cleaning fee. We ask our bride(s) to fill out a rehearsal document ahead of time so that we can run an efficient rehearsal. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. In this case, it had a good amount but not anything about additional flower boys (which is what you're referring to). No worries, that's what a rehearsal is for! Our bartenders did not (which you've now acknowledged) send anyone to the store for cups. They simply said 12oz cups are what we ask you to bring for beer instead of the 9oz ones you brought. The smaller cups simply require more trips to the bar for refills. We really are ok serving in whatever everyone brings! You did send your initial email while I was out sick a couple of days with Strep Throat so I wasn't able to respond as quickly as you wanted. We've now spoken several times. We take these types of comments very seriously and would never ignore or not respond. As usual - Congratulations to our brides! May they always choose happiness and gratitude.

My daughter originally wanted a small intimate wedding in a secluded area until she stumbled across Willow Creek online. Once she got the tour of the venue she fell in love with it and decided to do a traditional style wedding and reception.
The wedding day turned out perfect! We had so many compliments on the venue. Bailey and the other workers went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I would highly recommend having your wedding at Willow Creek.

This venue is amazing. It’s absolutely beautiful and speaks for itself! There’s so many places to take great photos and super spacey for bigger weddings. I had about 150 attend my wedding and everyone continuously stated how beautiful the venue was. I think one of my favorite parts was the bridal and groom suites! There was so much space so we could run around and not feel like we were walking all over each other. We also had the most amazing day of coordinator. She was on point and made my day run so smoothly! With all of her help I was able to just focus on walking down the aisle and focus on having the best night of my life. It was just perfect and I couldn’t be happier 🤍 make sure to read through all the contracts and let your family know whats expected of them at the end of the night and it’ll go smoothly. Thank you willow creek for everything! You guys are amazing.

Choosing Willow Creek as our wedding venue was the BEST decision my husband and I made for our nuptials. The venue is gorgeous and the staff was so helpful and amazing to work with during the entire process. Willow Creeks guidance before the wedding and on the day of the wedding made our day stress free allowing us to enjoy the celebration with our family and loved ones. Through their recommendations, we hired our DJ, caterer, and photographer who were absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is searching.

I wouldn’t even dare try imagining our wedding being located anywhere else. Willow Creek was the only venue we visited and we immediately knew it was the one. They provided the absolute most perfect setting for our 12.2.22 wedding. This venue truly is beautiful and everyone was so incredibly kind, especially Haley who helped make our day perfect and was patient with all my anxieties (lol). All parts of this venue was perfect, from the amazing gazebo, beautiful reception hall, and super cute and cozy house where we were able to get ready. Getting to get dressed, have our ceremony, and party all night long in the same location was perfect!! And such a dream. Lastly, I love that we’ll get to have the beautiful Willow Creek be the background of all our photos. Book this venue!!!

Y’all let me tell you I knew this was my venue the day my husband and I toured it! It was and reminded of something out of a hallmark movie! Plus the venue came with a day of coordinator included in the price and let me tell you my day of coordinator Cece was absolutely amazing! She made our day go smoothly and went it came to the reception part my now husband and I did not worry about a thing. We had an absolutely perfect day with a picture perfect venue! Also the weather changed the week of my wedding and on my wedding day it was freezing and rainy. Hailey the event director kept in contact with me, especially the day before and I was heart broken that I couldn’t get married under the gazebo outside, but I chose a venue that could have an inside ceremony just in case! And I was reassured that it would be just as beautiful as I had imagined if! Let me tell y’all, once I saw how we decorated it.. I thought it was the most beautiful thing and am still getting compliments on our venue! It turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined and I’m so thankful for the team at this amazing and beautiful venue!

Willow Creek Wedding Venue is the absolute perfect venue for ALL your needs. From having a gorgeous ceremony outside to a cocktail hour that is separated from your reception hall, your guests never have to leave! The venue has an on-site Bridal and Groom Suite for the bride, mothers, bridesmaids, etc to all get ready with a make-up room, kitchen, two bathrooms, and separate rooms for the bride and mothers to get ready in. The grooms suite has a TV, pool table, card table, etc to make the groom, fathers, groomsmen, and whoever else comfortable before the big day! This venue was my first viewed venue, and after seeing the property, what they offer, and the overall setup, I never looked anywhere else! Bar Betty was used for a grilled cheese bar at my wedding, but can be used as a second bar, drink station, etc. If you want a country style wedding, this venue works. If you want an elegant/formal wedding (like myself) this venue works! They have options for any style and dream you have your heart set on. Everything and everyone was so accommodating, I would recommend Willow Creek Wedding Venue to everyone in the DFW metroplex!

Omg. I could go on and on about how amazing this venue is!! Haley with planning is amazing, always responsive to emails and questions (I bugged her multiple times a day)! The owner tours you before you book and you really can tell she loves what she does. They are constantly trying to continue making the venue even better than it already is. The fact that they have a day of coordinator included in booking with them is amazing- Jenn was a lifesaver the day of the wedding. It’s also soooo great that willow creek has such a long list of preferred vendors too. That really helped me in the planning process to narrow down things! I haven’t even talked about how beautiful the venue is yet. It is truly picture perfect… We had such a simple wedding, not a lot of decor or flowers and it was a BEAUTIFUL. The gazebo with the benches is gorgeous. The atrium where we had cocktail hour was perfect. They truly do run a seamless venue. I can’t recommend them enough!!

We got married at Willowcreek Friday, September 30th, 2022 and it was nothing short of perfect.
They have very reasonable prices and rentable items. Haley was there for every step of the way. Haley would often check in on us throughout the year to make sure everything was going well. Haley also helped us with bookings days to take bridals on the property.
The day of coordinator (I am so sorry I forgot her name) was by far the sweetest, most helpful, and genuine person I’ve ever come across. I loved her! As everyone was lining up she took the time to check on me and help me fluff my dress before I walked down the aisle.
I highly recommend having your wedding or any event here.
I wish I could go back and relive our wedding all over again. Additional advice: HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER! You will not regret it! 🥰

I love this venue it is gorgeous on its own without the decorations. I just got married here last Sunday. This venue was everything from the bar Betty outside, to the bridal house it was amazing. Once my coordinator finished it was more than what I imagined. The staff was very sweet, the day of coordinator I think that's who she was, was very nice and sweet. My brother was married here 4 years ago I was in that wedding so I knew I like the venue already. I looked at other but this one by far was the best. I want to thank you all the owner and staff for everything!!!

Since Willow Creek has decided not to reply to all of my concerns, I will post a review of the venue.The team made micro aggressive comments about black people (previous renters of the facility), made comments to me and my family about “normal” weddings (we are Jewish). The coordinator that worked our rehearsal shared that she always only gets to help out at the white weddings… we are white but just a different religion.
The venue was not set up at 10am properly (which property owner confirmed in email). When I went to rehearsal on Friday for a Sunday wedding, we shared that the white chairs outside did not all match and the porch swing was a safety hazard. Nothing was done by 10am Sunday. I pulled over 20 off-white chairs off the line that didn’t match the rest. The venue owner, Barbara shared that these chairs are not colored correctly due to the sap from the trees. These dirty chairs were replaced luckily before my guests arrived (also.. there are other negative reviews on their website about the chairs). The bench was removed and we had flowers purchased and already to outline the bench area. Apparently it is my fault that I didn’t tell the venue months ago that we planned to put flowers there. They never asked where we planned to put flowers and when asked if this was something that they typically ask, they didn’t respond.
The venue took 0 responsibility for these actions and comments. They decided not to fully respond to my email asking to help address or fix these concerns. The experience with this staff has been terrible and I would have rather gotten married at a different venue.
Vendor response 05/12/2022
Luckily the comment about race is 1000% false. You will see from our over 800 events here...
that we love serving all races, religions, and sexualities. It’s unfortunate that words can be put online to say whatever you want – it simply doesn’t make it true. The coordinator you are referring to is one of our most loved and kindest people we have here. The wedding itself went perfectly so you have no complaints about that. The many months and almost 70 emails from you leading up to your event went great so you have no complaints about that. Your complaints started with your rehearsal when you asked the coordinator for direction and she said “normally we do it like this”. Your complaint is that she meant you are not normal because you are Jewish. I explained that was referring to “how” to do something not “who’s” doing it. You said that was not a good enough answer. Then you decided she had also made comments about race. I’m sorry but she did not nor would not say that. Next, you say we were not ready for you. Not only was the venue ready on time – it was ready early per your request. Upon arrival, you immediately went to the ceremony site and threw the chairs around because you said they were not all the same white. So, I pulled the ones you didn’t like and reset the area. That is the email confirmation you are referring to when you say the venue wasn’t ready. I confirmed that you moved all the chairs and it took me 30 minutes to reset them. Late Friday night you told the coordinator that the swing was broken. After reviewing it on Saturday we determined it would be best to replace it. Unfortunately, we could not get one ordered, received and hung by Sunday morning. We have multiple swings on the property for you to use. The action you very aggressively requested us to take was for me to send my entire team to micro-aggression classes. A bit ironic. I guess you saying I decided to not take responsibility was because I did not agree to do that. So, as I told you in my last response (one of many), we hope you have a long and happy married life.

We were married at Willow Creek a month ago and it was an amazing experience. The staff were very helpful during the planning process and the venue is gorgeous. Additionally, the value you get for your money when utilizing the venue is beyond compare. I highly recommend Willow Creek.

We loved using willow creek for my daughter’s wedding December 11. The venue was great and Haley worked with the bride and I. She was very responsive and helpful. The venue had things available and the staff that night was fabulous. Only drawback is not many rental sources in waxahache so we had to rent a uhaul to bring items to venue.
Vendor response 12/30/2021
We are so glad you had a great experience! I wish we knew you were needing more rental it...
ems. We have a fabulous rental company on our vendor list just 5 minutes from our venue.

My wedding was August 27, 2021. This was actually the last venue I looked at and I fell in love with the venue, especially the bridal suite. The price is very budget friendly. The staff was professional the entire time leading up to the wedding. I highly recommend this venue for your special day.

We loved getting married at Willow Creek Wedding and Events! The entire experience was great, from planning to day of everything went smoothly and beautifully. Planning from a different state was stressful, but the event coordinators at Willow Creek were very responsive and helpful. Day of once the coordinator was there, I did not have to worry about anything. The venue itself is just stunning. I loved having the bridal suite to get ready and relax in. I found many other vendors through Willow Creek that also worked out wonderfully.

We fell in love with Willow Creek immediately. This was the only venue we toured and we could not be happier that this is where we ended up. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and the venue was a huge part of this! The Willow Creek team was amazing form day one. As the day got closer, they were constantly in contact with reminders, vendor suggestions, and planning finalizing. Cannot recommend a better or more beautiful venue for your special day!

I had my vow renewal for on 7/10/21, We LOVED getting married at Willow Creek!! It is the most beautiful venue and everything is set up so conveniently. This venue was PERFECT for our big day! I especially loved the venue manager that we were assigned 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!

I just got married on 08.21.2021 at Willow Creek Wedding and Events venue and I must say the venue is so beautiful and staff were absolutely amazing. The staff were so helpful and very prompt with answering any questions I had in a timely manner. 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.

I’m going to try to keep this brief and not go into too many details because my wedding is over so I don’t really care anymore. The venue is beautiful, but if I could do it again, I probably wouldn’t have chosen this venue. It was extremely stressful 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.
Vendor response 08/08/2021
Hi Madison! I'm so sorry you found the planning part of your event stressful. Some girls...
totally enjoy every part of creating the day of their dreams and others not so much. That's why we are always there to help whenever you need it. Turns out all your hard work paid off because you had a very pretty, great event. Now you can relax a little and just be happily married. Congratulations again, we wish nothing but forever happiness!

This venue was PERFECT for our big day! I especially loved the venue manager that we were assigned on the day of the wedding!! SHE WAS AMAZING!! The venue itself was beautiful. A nice big space for the wedding party to get ready and the perfect indoor space to have the ceremony in the middle of a Texas summer! All in all it was amazing!

My now husband and I first saw Willow Creek on video chat due to covid restrictions. I knew at that point that the venue was going to be it for us but we went in for site visit a few weeks later. Basically, the venue is immaculate, the staff is 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!

Willow creek was the most amazing venue I could have asked for in regards to my wedding. We got engaged February 2020 and quickly booked at willow creek early March 2020. It didn’t take us long to find a beautiful venue that fit our style and budget. 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!!!

It’s a beautiful venue ! I loved the reception hall, gazebo, and scenery. Overall it was breathtaking, but they weren't as organized as I’d hoped . My detail meeting went well, but I never received the plans we decide on because the director of 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!
Vendor response 04/09/2021
Hi Monica! I am so happy that you really liked our venue. When our brides hire their own...
outside planner we always stepback and let them take the lead. Of course we also do everything we can to assist. Because your planner works with you much more leading up to your event we understand they are in control of your schedule and we respectfully try not to overstep. We truly enjoyed working with you and wish you happily ever after! ❤

I couldn’t have asked for a more favorable experience for my wedding event! I’m not a girl that dreamt of this day my entire life. I got married at 39, and must say Willowcreek surpassed my highest hopes. Despite the quarantine restrictions, we 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.

This was the third wedding venue we had toured and ended up booking it the day we toured. We fell in love with everything the venue had to offer that many other venues don’t. From the multiple options for ceremony space (especially, an indoor option 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!!

My fiancé and I toured 5 places before this one and we ended up booking the venue the next day.

We cannot wait for our wedding in April!

BEST VENUE EVER! Wish I could give more than 5 stars! From the bridal house, to the ceremony sight, to the reception, all the way down to the staff this place was AMAZING. They made everything so simple and stress-free, which was all I could have hoped for as a bride. Everyone here is so communicative and over-the-top kind and helpful. HIGHLY recommend to anyone getting married!
