The Particulars

We want to be as flexible as possible with your vision for your day and are willing to work with you to best accommodate the plans that you have. You are free to arrive on the morning of your wedding to decorate/prep and for hair/make up  stylist appointments in the Bridal Suite.

We hold a limited number of weddings per year, so we can cater to each couples dream day!  We do require that the music ends at 10:00pm with the send-off following by 10:15 and all guests leaving by 10:30.

Your wedding rehearsal will generally be scheduled on the Friday before your wedding day.

There are several local Leesburg hotels and resorts in the area within 10 or 15 mins of the venue. Comfort Suites offers a shuttle to Willow Brook for a minimum reservation of 10 blocks of rooms. The local hotels include: Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Clarion and Comfort Suites. The resorts are a bit pricier and they include the Lansdowne Resort and the Salamander Resort.

If it rains, you can have your ceremony inside the barn with the wall of windows as your backdrop. In this scenario, the  tables/chairs for the reception  would be set up after the ceremony, while your guests enjoy cocktails in the front of the barn in the bar area. We request a 4 hour notice if you will be having your ceremony indoors.

8. What if it rains and I can’t have my ceremony outside?

Fireworks are not allowed at Willow Brook, but a sparkler sendoff outside the barn only is allowed. Any send-offs must begin immediately after the music ends at 10:00 and end by 10:15PM
