This side of the estate is sometimes missed by gue

This side of the estate is sometimes missed by guests - past the Garden Pergola, there is a quiet path that leads to the northern side of the estate, and the original front door that once faced a clear view of the Ipswich River. This peaceful path is a great place for group photos after a wedding ceremony and is a short walk towards the trailhead that leads to a river-walkway. ⠀

Happy 1-year anniversary Lauren and Ruben! On this

Happy 1-year anniversary Lauren and Ruben! On this day last year, we celebrated with a tasty seasonal menu that started with a passed cocktail "apple of my eye" and ended with cake and our mini baked donuts (pumpkin, brown butter apple cider, and triple chocolate)... ⠀

October is a great time to visit if you're looking for a venue!

Time to break out the tweed, houndstooth, and earthy tones. This dapper group of groomsmen fits right in with the fall foliage. ⠀

A few favorites from July 2019 💛 We are getting ready to host our first events in August and we can't wait to see our team doing what we do best - creating a place for people to celebrate. This year, things will be on a smaller scale, but we are sure there will still be some BIG memories made. ⠀

This is what our garden courtyard looked like for

This is what our garden courtyard looked like for a wedding reception last June. After the cocktail hour, guests move out to our Sperry tent for dinner and dancing. On warm evenings we move the bar and a few cocktail tables out to the courtyard where the ceremony was. The soft glow from our tent and bistro lights create an effortlessly elegant setting for the second half of the wedding day.

Our sister property, @briarbarninn just announced

Our sister property, @briarbarninn just announced yesterday that their restaurant @groverowley will reopen on Thursday, June 25th for patio seating and take-out! ✨
We also have some good news – we can start wedding tours (socially distanced, and by appointment). The garden looks beautiful, and our tent is up! Get in touch if you’d like to continue planning your next event - we are here to help.

We hope your weekend is full of rest, sunshine, and most of all- delicious summer foods! ⠀

This year we introduced a new metal circular arbor

This year we introduced a new metal circular arbor and we love seeing all the ways this piece can be styled indoors and out! This late-fall mansion wedding features our mahogany chairs, a metal circular arbor with white flowers and greenery, candles, and lanterns to complete the focal point of the ceremony, and backdrop for our couple's table at dinner. ⠀

Did you know we host events year-round? The conser

Did you know we host events year-round? The conservatory is a focal point for gatherings inside the mansion - and with panoramic windows and open sky-lit ceiling, this room transitions from afternoon to evening with the warm glow of candlelight, and the sun setting behind the trees. Get a closer look at the details from this wedding last April – a wedding at Willowdale Estate is so much more than just a beautiful location. Our occasions celebrate every detail – the service, the setting, and of course the delicious food! ⠀

Get in touch to request a link to our video tours, and open dates in November 2020 – April 2021. ⠀
