The Willow Tree Ceremony Location

The willow tree ceremony site is located at the main venue on the lower grounds. It towers toward the sky next to a creek with an arched bridge to the left. Warm string lights hang in the lower branches along with flickering lanterns. The walk time from the chandelier exit in the barn to the willow tree is only a minute and a half.

If it’s just the two of you, say your vows right beneath the willow’s branches. If you have guests, we’ll set up the chairs to create an aisle. The recommended maximum guest count for this ceremony site is 50. Your wedding party will stand at the edge of the willow branches with the two of you at the center in front of your officiant. This assures your photographer has a clear view of everyone. If it’s just the two of you, however, a cozy ceremony beneath the romantic, swaying branches is a magical experience! If you book our Mini Wedding Deluxe package or a luxury elopement, you may use our hexagon arbor at the willow tree. We usually have a floral swag with greenery, but most couples bring their own to match a particular wedding color palette.

The willow sprouts leaves in mid to late March, reaching a full, lush appearance by the end of April. Pink wind flowers bloom around the willow in late August through September. The leaves change to rusty gold in late October and typically drop throughout November. BOHO themes are most popular during this time. The willow has no leaves from mid to late November until it awakens again in mid-March. However, many couples still choose this area because of the string lights and lanterns despite the cold temperatures. (A wedding with guests here is often too cold for your guests in the winter.)

If it Rains

The rain plan for this site with our luxury elopements is the opportunity to pause or change the ceremony time to suit better weather conditions or use the Creekside Pavilion or chapel for the ceremony instead.
