Yes. If you choose to provide your own caterer, we prefer you discuss this prior to reserving your event. We like to be familiar with a caterers quality and service. We want you, your family and friends to have an enjoyable reception. Nothing ruins a celebration like running out of food, the chicken not being cooked thoroughly, you know? We are happy to provide you with a list of our preferred caterers. These are professionals that have provided service here and we were pleased with their level of quality and service.
Yes. Our parking area is situated directly behind the Social Barn. It is an easy walk to our ceremony sites and reception area. No need for shuttles.

No. Many caterers offer china rental. We can also recommend rental companies in the area who offer delivery and pick up. Be sure and check out all the new high end plastic ware available. It’s really pretty and cost effective.
The Willow House and Social Barn grounds are pet friendly. However, they must be preapproved. Dogs are not allowed inside The Willow House and Social Barn or near food. Dogs must be on a leash and someone must be responsible for them other than the bride and groom.
We kindly request that all tours are by appointment only.
