What is your “hold” policy?

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 as early as you would like on the morning of your wedding. We know that hair/make up artists need to arrive in the bridal suite very early for larger bridal parties. 

The Particulars

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.

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

 Are fireworks or sparkler send-offs allowed?

Candles are not allowed anywhere on the grounds or in the barn, however electric automatic candles can be used.

 Are candles allowed in the barn or as part of a table centerpiece?

We have recently changed our policy and couples  must choose from our preferred vendor list for your caterer and DJ to ensure that your day runs seamlessly. We have a wide range of catering options covering all price points and budgets. 

 Can I use my own caterer?

We do not allow bands as they are too loud for our venue. We do require that you choose from our list of approved DJ's. who are very familiar with our venue and adhere to our policies and sound requirements.

**Willow Brook does not allow shots, heavy drinking or drinking games of any kind! The Bartenders will not serve shots and will not serve guests who appear to have had too much alcohol.
If you are planning a wedding/reception that will have heavy drinking, Willow Brook is not a good fit for your wedding. 

 You can provide your own alcohol, but all drinks have to be served by a third-party bartender. Bartenders are usually provided through your caterer. Self-serve alcohol or beverages stored in vehicles for consumption on the premises, or underage drinking is not allowed .
