One of the first bites of food your guests will try is a passed hors d'oeuvre, and we have dozens of tasty options to choose from on our catering menu. ⠀
⠀
We've added a few new options recently! This mixed tray, which is usually served to wedding clients shortly after the ceremony, is a great visual guide. Swipe to see the presentation of two other options from recent events! (photos from @ericaferronephotography & @arielledphotography)⠀

Three cheers for the Great Room! ⠀
⠀
The Great Room plays a prominent role in nearly every event at Willowdale Estate. This room features cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, an ornate orchestra balcony, an etched stone fireplace, and large-scale built-in shelving. ⠀
⠀
In this trio of photos, we are set up for a cocktail hour. 🥂 Swipe to see the amazing floral installation around the fireplace, and a beautiful wedding cake displayed near the Dining Room entrance in front of a courtyard-facing window in the Great Room. ⠀

It happens every year, we've fallen for fall colors!⠀
⠀
Starting in September, the palette for weddings and events starts to change the rich colors of autumn in New England. These natural shades look great with complementary shades of deep purples and blues. ⠀

If you’d like to see this color palette in action, swipe to see more from one of our fall favorites! ⠀

Celebrating our employees is a long-standing tradition at Willowdale Estate. Last week, we surprised @emily_from_amesbury with a wedding shower! Emily has been very busy coordinating events this year but is also planning her own wedding day! So, it was very fun to shower her with gifts, food, and amazing blackberry lavender cupcakes from chef Kate! ⠀
⠀
Of course, we couldn't have pulled it off without the help and expertise of a few of our own staff and wedding professionals!⠀

@catherinemband has seen every inch of our venue as a professional photographer.
