Answers That Make Planning Feel Easier

Planning a wedding comes with a lot of moving pieces. Here are answers to the questions couples ask most often to help you plan your special day with clarity and confidence.

What’s your availability around our ideal date?

Availability can change quickly, especially during peak seasons. The best way to confirm your date is to request availability and we’ll let you know what openings we have and what dates are closest if your first choice is taken.

How many guests can Willow Ridge accommodate?

Willow Ridge can accommodate up to 200 guests, giving you room for anything from an intimate celebration to a full guest list without feeling crowded.

If the wedding is outdoors, what’s the backup plan if it rains?

We always have a plan that still feels beautiful. Willow Ridge hosts indoor ceremonies throughout the year, so our team is ready to transition your day with ease. If weather moves in, your ceremony can be held inside The Manor, a climate-controlled space with elegant chandelier lighting and seating for up to 200 guests. The adjoining covered Pavilion is also available, keeping your setting open and bright while staying fully protected from the elements. Either way, your ceremony remains beautiful, seamless, and exactly as it should be.

Is Willow Ridge handicap accessible?

Yes. All buildings are handicap accessible, and we also provide golf cart assistance when needed for ceremony sites that involve walking on grass. We want every guest to feel comfortable and included from arrival to celebration. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us.
