Host a cozy New England holiday party at Willowdale Estate in our historic mansion. Surrounded by 720 acres of wooded forests and decorated for the season, Willowdale Estate offers a private setting for timeless winter celebrations.

The Event

A holiday party at Willowdale Estate is a great way to celebrate your staff, thank your clients, or kickoff an annual meeting. Ideal for up to 125 guests for a Plated Dinner or 175 guests for a Cocktail Reception. Our all-inclusive pricing makes planning effortless with exclusive use of the estate, on-site catering and beverage program, coordination services, holiday décor, and event equipment.

The Venue

Our 1902 Craftsman and Tudor Revival Stone Mansion is ladened with inspiration from the Medieval Period as well as the Arts and Crafts style, creating an architecturally unique, warm and welcoming home for holiday gatherings. 

The Décor

Festive décor is included throughout the holiday season at Willowdale Estate. Wreaths line our long driveway and adorn our historic windows and doors. White twinkle lights add a warm glow throughout the property. Garland, candles, and neutral decorations fill the banisters, mantles, and shelves.
