Willows at Historic Strasburg — Attraction in Strasburg

My daughter and her husband had their wedding and reception at The Willows at Historic Strasburg. What a wonderful venue!! We could not have been happier with the day. Amanda and her team were simply phenomenal! The rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception were everything we imaged and more. We had about 155 people at the ceremony and reception. The reception space was plenty large enough to accommodate our group. Every food item served at both the rehearsal dinner and the reception were delicious and plentiful. Many wedding venues come with a reputation of subpar food. The Willows is by far an exception to this reputation. The serving staff, specifically Bridget, also paid close attention to specific foods and drinks that the bride, groom, and their families were consuming throughout the weekend. During the reception and rehearsal, serving staff made sure these folks always had their preferred drink in their hand. This was a very personal touch! I will note that we had small gluten-free cake for the bride and groom to cut which was supposed to be then cut for the guests. Somehow that got overlooked even though it was indicated on the BEO. A very minor detail as there were plenty of other desserts, just not GF. I apologized to the groom and the other affected guests. They were very understanding and said they had filled up on the delicious food from dinner and didn’t need dessert! I should have been on top of it earlier than I was. We had 8 females getting hair and makeup done in the bridal suite throughout the morning of the wedding day. The setup for the suite worked perfect for our group. There were two smaller dressing rooms that were used for hair and makeup. The rest of the group hung out in the suite which had plenty of seating, music, a bathroom, and a food serving area. Amanda was very helpful throughout the planning process to ensure that my daughter’s wishes were fulfilled for her day. Amanda was also very visible throughout the wedding day to make sure everything went according to plan! Her communication with the vendors was impeccable and she was pivotal in reducing last minute questions that were directed to the bride on her wedding day. As we saw the temperature for the wedding day rising a few days prior to the wedding (95 degrees), Amanda also accommodated a last-minute request to distribute ice cold water to the wedding guests during the ceremony. Not only was Amanda a wonderful coordinator; she even bartended, served, and cleared plates as necessary to make sure our day stayed on schedule. Amanda was extremely attentive to the bridal suite during the morning of the wedding to make sure we always had everything we needed to remain stress-free! The Willows is the perfect all-in-one venue. Some wedding guests also ventured down to the Fireside for the after party which was an added onsite perk! I would highly recommend The Willows for your dream...

From start to finish, Amanda and the rest of the team at The Willows at Historic Strasburg went above and beyond our expectations. We did not look at any other venues (though we did compare), knowing before we were even engaged it was a beautiful venue, fantastic food in the restaurant, and the packages offered are far more inclusive than anywhere else in the region! Amanda is responsive, attentive, and accommodating, and her attention to detail throughout the planning process & day of is top notch. They were nothing but gracious with COVID decisions, keeping us informed to help us make the best decisions for us, & the rescheduling process. Our day itself was perfect - from consistently making sure we (and our bridal party/parents) were fed & taken care of to Amanda's eye for initial placement & rearranging of decorations throughout the evening, everyone went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. The food was highly praised by our guests & our other vendors even commented that it was one of if not the best food they've had to eat at a wedding! If you are considering The Willows, you will not be disappointed in your experience & having our wedding and reception here was the best investment we made for...

We could not have chosen a better wedding venue for our special day. With an all inclusive package we didn't have to worry about a single thing. All of the set up and take down was taken care of for us, even the decorations that I made were carefully set out then packed up for us at the end of the night. The space was so beautiful that i would not have even needed my own decor if I didn't want to worry about it. Their event coordinator Amanda went above and beyond and made everything flow so nicely. From the moment we expressed interest in having our event there until the end of the night of our wedding she handled every detail perfectly. Her communication was always prompt and kind. The food was fantastic and everyone at the end of the night was saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had! We just could not be happier with our choice and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding...
