Weddings

When my husband and I decided to get married here at Willows Bend, we were blown away by the gorgeous landscape, and well thought through layout of the building. We had some unexpected life situations come up and had to push our wedding back a year. Jim and Michelle were very understanding, outlined their expectations for us to move the date, and helped us get things moved around. Then, my family experienced a tragedy 7 months before our wedding when my brother was hit by a pickup truck that drove through the building he was sitting in. He did not survive. When I communicated this tragedy to Michelle, she immediately offered to push the date out again, even though they typically only allow moving the date once, since this was such an unexpected and unique situation. I thanked her, but we opted to keep our date, October 31, 2025. My family is from Mexico on my father’s side, and we had decided 2 years ago to have a Day of Dead themed wedding. In the Mexican culture, Day of the Dead is when our loved ones who have passed are able to come back and visit the living. It felt like my brother was still invited to my wedding. Leslie, our day of coordinator, worked very hard to make sure our day went as smoothly and perfectly as it possibly could have. Aaron was absolutely incredible as the DJ/MC for our wedding. Jim and Michelle were wonderful to work with, and Colton and I would both highly recommend Willows Bend for anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married.

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of perfect. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — every corner is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating the ideal setting for a memorable celebration. Whether you’re looking for something classic or modern, the venue has an elegance that will make your wedding day truly special. What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was the incredible service from the owners, Jim and Michele. They were hands-on from the very beginning, offering expert advice, answering every question, and providing thoughtful suggestions to help make our wedding day seamless. Their attention to detail and genuine care for us as a couple was clear throughout the entire planning process. On the big day itself, Jim and Michele were there every step of the way, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thanks to their support, our wedding day was completely stress-free, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with amazing owners who truly care about making your wedding day perfect, look no further. I’m beyond grateful for Jim and Michele and the wonderful experience they provided!

Jim, Michele,
I would like to thank you for helping us bring our daughter Becca’s wedding dreams coming true. Steven and Becca knew from the second they laid eyes on your beautiful venue that is where they were getting married. I want to thank Jim and Michelle for covering every detail we needed. Even if I thought I’d forgotten something. They assured me I hadn’t and everything was covered. As the mother of the bride I’m grateful to Bri ! I didn’t have to worry about one single thing throughout the entire day. I was able to enjoy my only daughter’s wedding. Our entire family and friends have sent us messages saying it was the funnest wedding they’ve ever attended. Thanks to the wonderful DJ.
You have our eternal gratitude for the great memories!
Everyone should be married there.
You know how to treat your guest make them feel at home.

My (now) husband and I had our wedding here a couple of weekends ago, and it was an amazing experience! The venue is beautiful, and many of our friends and family commented on how beautiful it was! There were also lots of fun options to choose from, such as fireworks and a cold sparks send-off that many other places don’t have. Further, the owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions that we had. All of the vendors that we chose have worked with this venue before, and it made the whole evening flow seamlessly. If anything went wrong, I had no idea. (It was pretty windy and some rain storms came through later in the night, but we all worked together to come up with a plan that allowed us to still go outside for the fireworks and cold sparks!). I HIGHLY recommend this venue if you are looking for a beautiful venue out by the lake!
