Erica and Jeremy
Wedding: 3/31/12
I'm not quite sure I can express in words how perfect our wedding day was and it is all because of Connie and Sara. Our first meeting with Connie set the tone of how things were going to work during the process of preparing for our day and there was no looking back once we made our decision to have the Grand Willow be our venue. We meet with Connie and Sara for a 3-hour consultation session in October and I walked out of the meeting so happy that I knew our wedding was in great hands and that the decorations and food would be exactly how I had pictured it my entire life.
The day of the event everything, that could be controlled, went exactly as planned and that is thanks to Sara, our day of coordinator. If we needed anything she was there. If we needed to be kept on track so that everything went on schedule, she was there with a smile and no one in my family or bridal party had to worry about getting things done. We had numerous family and friends tell us that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to and that made me smile. We both got to enjoy the day and will forever have fond memories of our special day.
Connie was our caterer and our food was so amazing. We were a very lucky couple that actually got to eat and enjoy the food served because they made sure once we were introduced at the reception that we had our own special table with food already served. Connie also made sure that when we left that we had to-go box of all of our appetizers and entrees, which worked out nicely after the party was over, especially since we didn't get to enjoy any of the appetizers because we were busy taking pictures.
Connie also had a vendor list available on her website of vendors that she had worked with in the past and all of the vendors we used (other than the photobooth and florist) were on her list and we are beyond happy with our choices. One of the best vendors is her in house DJ/Emcee, Martin Iverson, and he set the mood for the entire reception. Martin, feed from our group, and made it a very memorable night full of laughs and some happy tears.
I will recommend the Grand Willow Inn to anyone and everyone who wants to hear my opinion. I would absolutely love to attend someone's wedding there and enjoy from a guests persepective and have happy memories of my perfect day (which from now one, no wedding will ever compare).
THANK YOU CONNIE AND SARA!!!!

Connie and Sara were amazing. They do everything, from the coordinating to the food and the decorating. I got and continue to get so many compliments on my wedding. I know it wouldn't have been the same if I had my wedding anywhere else. Connie makes the whole process very fun and she is very responsive and flexible. She even prepared a to go bag for my husband and I to take to the airport with us. I am so grateful that there is someone out there that is as passionate about their work as Connie is. It shows through and throuhg. I will recommend the Grand Willow to anyone I know getting married.

We loved the Grand Willow. Connie and her staff were very organized and yet flexible. Of course it rained on our wedding day in August and Connie patiently waited while I went back and forth about whether or not to keep the wedding outdoors. When it started pouring we knew it would be indoors, but it was perfect! I got so many compliments about the effect of me (the bride) "coming down the staircase" that I was very happy with our decision! Guests raved about the food, the service and just the venue itself. All of the vendors suggested by Connie were FABULOUS!! I am so thankful that our special day went so well and I recommend the Grand Willow whole heartedly.

The Grand Willow did a wonderful job with our wedding! We are so thankful for all their
amazing help. Many guests told me ours was the best wedding they had ever been to in their entire lives! Also we were so appreciative of The Willow's help in making it a multicultural event as we had some East Indian as well as Western traditions. Many of the guests commented on how delicious the food was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony and party. Rahul and I both truly got really relax and cherish our day and will remember it for a lifetime. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, the food and flowers were amazing, and the help with planning from Connie and her staff was spectacular. Go see it in person; pictures do not do this place justice.

The Grand Willow was the dream place to get married. It is absolutely breath-taking in beauty with weeping willows, flowers, and overall natural beauty. The ceremony and reception are both at the same location, which was awesome for my 120 guests. They are the caterers and the food was SO good. They decorate for you and clean up for you. The help with everything really makes you day stress free. They have wedding coordinators for the day before and the day of (she was AMAZING). I really don't know how to tell you about Connie, the owner, she is caring, thoughtful, thorough, always reachable, will help you through any problems no matter what, knowledgeable, just plain awesome!! I highly HIGHLY recommend this venue for your consideration.
