We recently stayed at Willow Lodge for our wedding, and it was truly an unforgettable experience . From the very beginning, Siuzanna was so kind and helpful with our reservations, making it easy for us to book 20 rooms for our guests. The manager Linda was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Because we reserved a large block of guest rooms, she gave us excellent discounted rates not only for the accommodations but also for the Courtyard and the Club Room. The value was truly unbeatable compared to standard pricing, and it made hosting our wedding celebration with live music and catering even more special. During our stay, the team even assisted with handling out our welcome gifts to arriving guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property has wonderful amenities- large refrigerator, and a bar in the Courtyard- which made it easy for us to host catering and celebrate with family and friends. The housekeeping staff were attentive and professional, and we appreciated seeing hotels updates to the rooms- everything felt fresh and welcoming. Willow Lodge helped make our wedding weekend not only smooth and well-organized, but also truly joyful. We are so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend this venue to everyone.

We had our wedding at Catlett Farm in North Carolina, and it was absolutely incredible! The venue is breathtaking, the recommended vendors were fantastic, and even though we planned everything in just one month, Marie (the owner) and her team made the process so easy. Catlett Farm was budget-friendly without taking away from anything we wanted, and our day turned out even better than we imagined. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and seamless everything was. Choosing Catlett Farm was truly the best decision we made for our wedding!
