Searching for a charming wedding venue in New England, with a bit of flare and a touch of history? Look no further than Willowdale Estate for your wedding! I had the pleasure of shooting some brides here last month when the flowers were in full bloom, and I was blown away. I'd even have my own wedding here! I mean, the fairy lights, the gardens, and the stonework? Every gal's dream. There are so many hidden nooks to sneak away to that are just so enchanting. This venue is right out of a princess storybook! Here are some reasons to consider this Willowdale Estate for your wedding:

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Picture this: 720 acres of meticulously manicured gardens, serene ponds, and more blossoming flowers than Cupid's secret garden. Willowdale Estate has a picture-perfect backdrop that will have your guests' jaws dropping and Instagram feeds exploding. Everything is 'gram worthy, I swear! As a wedding photographer, I love having tons of space and beautiful areas that we can sneak off to. Once we get to sunset, we have options!!

A Historic Love Affair

Step into the Georgian-style mansion that has witnessed over a century of romance, and you'll be transported to a bygone era of grandeur and elegance. With original woodwork, ornate details, and a touch of vintage charm, Willowdale Estate adds a delightful splash of history to your special day, and is seriously so cute. The whole thing has Jane Austen or Romeo & Juliette vibes, and I don't know about you, but DANG I think it's romantic.

Space as Versatile as your Love Story

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a huge wedding, Willowdale Estate has got you covered. Their diverse range of spaces around the property ensures you'll find the perfect spot to exchange vows and dance the night away. From the grand tented courtyard to the elegant drawing room, it's like having a romantic buffet of spaces to choose from, tailored to your unique love story. I personally LOVE a space with a ton of romantic areas, because we have that many more choices for great photo spots!

Service that's a Match Made in Heaven

The Willowdale Estate team is all about making your dreams come true. Their dedication to exceptional service means you can relax and enjoy your special day, knowing every detail is taken care of. From the initial planning stages to the grand finale, their expertise ensures a seamless and unforgettable experience. Cheers to a stress-free wedding journey! I have worked at some venues where I couldn't get out of there fast enough because the service was so bad, and the opposite is true here.

Location, Location, Location!

Lastly, my favorite part. Willowdale is tucked away in Topsfield, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Cape Cod. Willowdale Estate has the perfect balance between secluded romance and easy accessibility. Your out-of-town guests will have no trouble reaching this hidden gem, and the central location opens up a world of possibilities for pre- and post-wedding adventures.
