About this venue

Our venue offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern sophistication, set across 17 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by natural beauty — rolling lawns, mature trees, and picturesque views that create a serene and romantic atmosphere. The unique barn, which can be used as your own private wedding party social hour space, captures timeless character with its warm wood tones and architectural details, while the industrial-style Reception space, The Grand Willow, brings a contemporary edge with sleek finishes and open, airy spaces. The rustic groom’s suite provides a relaxed, masculine retreat, and the charming bridal suite offers an elegant, light-filled space for getting ready in comfort and style. Together, these elements create a venue that feels both authentic and refined — a place where every moment of your celebration feels effortlessly beautiful and uniquely yours.

    Wedding Vendor Here! Just here to sing praises to one of my favorite venues - not only is Crooked Willow stunning but the owners are incredible to work with. As a bridal beauty vendor, I genuinely appreciate the well thought out getting ready space for our couples, and I love that when it comes to questions, comments, or concerns - Derek Jody are always just a quick email away. As a vendor, I can confidently say they’ve always been wonderful and accommodating for myself and my team, BUT what speaks volumes to me is the positive feedback my couples always share with me about their experience with Crooked Willow as well. I would absolutely recommend Crooked Willow to upcoming couples in a heartbeat, and strongly encourage you to connect with them if you’re on the hunt for your venue.

  • Best Day!

    Our day was absolutely perfect! From the getting ready rooms that made us feel like royalty to the outdoor ceremony with the backdrop that looked like a dream, and the reception hall that was so stunning, we could NOT have asked for a better day! The staff were amazing and responsive and truly made our day so special! @presleypphotography
