Many of our events feature bar service with a passed cocktail when your guests enter the cocktail hour. Selecting a signature drink takes the pressure off guests, most will love a seasonal suggestion.Photo: @joseph_laurin

The conservatory at Willowdale Estate is a favorite among our clients and staff! Home to small celebrations like this shower, or to cocktails hours, ceremonies, lunches, dinners, any gathering that needs lots of natural light during the day, and warm light reflecting in the windows at night. ✨ Photo: @leonacampbellphoto

We've missed our historic tours this year! The man

We've missed our historic tours this year! The mansion is full of subtle details with great depth. In the dining room window, there is a partial quote of a very famous line of Virgil's Aeneid: "Forsan Et Haec Olim Meminisse Iuvabit" which C.S. Lewis (ca. 1930) translated: “Someday it will be pastime to recall this woe.” - other translations read "perhaps it will please (us) one day to remember these things". ⠀
⠀
The Dining Room window was thought to be installed around the same time, or after Bradley Palmer traveled as a member of the American delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. Another glass window in the estate displays three flags of the countries that decorated Bradley Palmer in the aftermath of World War I- France, Belgium, and Romania. ⠀
