About this venue

Willowdale Estate is a private mansion, just 30-miles north of Boston, Massachusetts. Located within a 720-acre state forest, and along the pristine Ipswich River. Our private estate is the perfect setting for a New England wedding ceremony and reception. Our coordination team and catering staff will execute your plan with grace, leaving you free to enjoy the party and mix with your guests. At Willowdale Estate, we host two wedding seasons. Our Tent Season from May-October is perfect for parties between 125-240 guests, and our Mansion Season from November-April is better suited for smaller parties between 80-125 guests inside our Estate. As you search for a venue, we would love to hear from you! We can send open dates, host a tour of our space, or create a quote for you. We celebrate the differences that make each client event unique, and warmly welcome people of every race, religion, and gender identity. Thank you for viewing our venue!

    The coordinators at Willowdale are amazing. They helped make my wedding day not only memorable and amazing but relaxing as well. They worked with us on things we wanted and help make our vision come true.

    Our coordinator Julia and the entire staff at Willowdale made our whole planning and day of experience so easy and fun! They were there every step of the way and very quick to answer any questions and help to make our wedding unique. Our guests loved the food and drink from the welcome drinks all the way to the dessert. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a one stop shop venue that has everything you would need day of your special day!

    My husband and I had our wedding in late December 2023, and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we saw the estate we fell in love. Willowdale Estate is a stunning property inside and out, full of character and charm making it the most magical wedding venue. Not only does the estate speak for itself but the staff is just as incredible. Each member of the Willowdale staff was professional, accommodating, and kind. We were lucky enough to work with Julia as our event coordinator. After our first meeting we knew we were in great hands. Julia took the time to go over details, answer any questions, and offer suggestions. We were blown away by her professionalism and calm demeanor. She took care of all the details and décor seamlessly all while making sure everyone knew where they needed to be. Julia is fantastic at her job it was such an honor getting to work with her. The food and drinks were delicious! Our guests were so impressed by the quality and variety of food offered, and of course the chocolate chip cookies were a big hit. We truly couldn’t have had a better experience with Willowdale Estate and its talented team. We feel so lucky that Willowdale Estate is forever a part of our love story.

    As soon as we did a tour of Willowdale Estate, we knew immediately it was where we wanted to get married and no other venue would compare! We wanted a winter wedding and got married on 01/06/2024. We knew it would be a beautiful wedding, but the staff and atmosphere at Willowdale is absolutely exceptional. We had Julia as our wedding coordinator and she made sure we had everything we needed ( down to every detail! ) for our big day! She answered every question, on the day of the wedding she made everything run so smoothly in such a nice calm happy manner. I didn’t have a care in the world on my wedding day, which is a huge relief as the bride!! We had dropped off some wedding decor without a real idea of where we wanted it to go. The time and effort Julia put in to decorate and set every detail up was amazing!!! She has a great eye and amazing taste! I was so thankful! She even did my bustle for my dress, made sure the groom and I got to try every hor d'oeuvre inbetween pictures, and that we were set with drinks for the night. Every staff member at the estate was kind, caring and calming, my guests raved about how delicious the food was, I can’t say enough how grateful we are to have had our wedding there. The venue is so unique and so much fun, our guests thoroughly enjoyed our wedding at Willowdale and we are so happy!! You won’t ever regret your choice to get married here!
