I am an event coordinator in the Philadelphia area. Being in the business myself I chose to have a very small wedding in the off season. We chose to get married in Cape May because we love visiting every year. When we come to Cape May we ALWAYS make a stop at Willow Creek! I called Willow Creek on a whim (thought it would be way out of my price range) about three months before our wedding date. Shannon answered and was immediately welcoming! Turns out we were getting married on the busiest winter weekend and we needed to make a few changes. Shannon was absolutely amazing, I was worry free all the way up until I walked down the stairs to my now husband! The food was amazing as well as the wine and it was extremely affordable! I’d love to give a huge shout out and sincere thank you to Shannon and Barbara for being so accommodating and treating our 10 guest wedding as if it were a 300 guest event!

Shannon made everything on our day work exactly how we wanted even with such a short time frame. She was very accommodating and so organized. I never had to worry about everything being how we hoped it would be. She frequently stayed in touch and always made me feel like family when I was there. She never talked down to me even though I was a very young bride and I wouldn’t want it any other way. The best part is the venue needs very little when it comes to decorations because it is already beautiful as is. I wish I could have my wedding all over again.

Shannon was amazing as we planned our big day! She was helpful in suggesting wines, tent vendors for cocktail hour and floor arrangements. She was able to accommodate our requests and make sure we had the best day ever! Amazing staff at Willow Creek! The bartenders even knew our guests and bridal party by name and ensured we always had a drink in hand!

Willow Creek Winery and the incredible staff helped make our wedding dreams come true and delivered the perfect evening for our friends and family. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and creates a natural rustic elegance - between the entrance to the estate, the lush vineyards, stone outdoor bar and the stunning main tasting room, the venue has it all! The fact that it is located so close to historic Cape May and the shore line is an added bonus! Ariella and her staff were terrific from start to finish, helping us plan our ideal wedding reception. With my husband and I living in NYC, we were thrilled at how efficient and helpful our meetings throughout the year were. By the time we were a few weeks out, most of the work and planning had been complete and we got to enjoy the final time relaxing and enjoying the lead-up with friends and family. On the day of the wedding, the team was so helpful and made the night nothing but happiness, love and excitement. The team helped us stay ... Read moreon track throughout the night, but was also incredibly flexible as certain things took longer than initially expected. Not once did we need to go to the bar, as the team was always ensuring we had a drink (and water) in hand. This allowed us to always be engaged with our guests or on the dance floor! The entire evening was perfect and we could not be more grateful and appreciative for the team's ongoing support, guidance and attention to detail! We would highly recommend having your wedding reception at willow creek winery! Thank you Ariella and team for helping make it the best day of our lives!

I wish I could get married again, just to have an excuse to go back to the Willow Creek Winery! I cannot say enough amazing things about Ariella and her team at Willow Creek, and I am so grateful to have worked with them throughout the entire process. First of all, the natural beauty of the winery is indescribable, and there really isn't much you need to do to decorate (although I did splurge with hanging bistro lights across the interior ceiling beams and underneath the cocktail hour and ceremony tents, in addition to tons of greenery and candles all over the table/bar tops, in the entryway, and in and around the fireplace). Second of all, the professionalism and dedication I experienced with Ariella and her team was incredible. I had a LOT of questions, and each one of them were answered professionally, patiently, and in a timely manner. Chef Brian Parker worked with us through Ariella, and any questions regarding the menu was quickly communicated and answered. The food was AM... Read moreAZING. Seriously, so fresh and just absolutely delicious. Both of our families are HUGE foodies, and pretty tough critics, and everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the food- from the cocktail hour through the reception. Cocktail hour food kept coming until the very end, and the portions were very generous. Ariella and her team worked with us on what we could afford, and although we did wind up exceeding our budget (by our choice), it was ALL worth it. I cannot say enough amazing things about the food, the venue, the service, and the general experience. I would be more than happy to speak further about the details, if anyone needs some advice or is considering getting married at Willow Creek Winery! My email is [email protected] HIGHLY recommend booking with the winery- it was the absolute best and most beautiful wedding I could have asked for!

Working with Willow Creek Winery manager Kevin C. and other staff has been wonderful so far! Big day is in 3 weeks!

This venue is amazing! The setting is gorgeous all year round - surrounded by vineyards and trees - perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It is set far back on the farm, making it very private with plenty of space. The ballroom is large (plenty of room to dance and sit comfortably), clean, and beautiful. The staff is also the best! They are so efficient and attentive. The food came out quickly and hot. The winery functions a little differently then the typical venue, which may require some extra planning, patience, and costs, but, I knew with confidence that once the big day came, everything would go smoothly. Kevin Celli, the winery's event planner, is awesome! He is so detail oriented, organized, and works hard to make your day the best day ever. And it was - our wedding day was perfect!

We would highly recommend Willow Creek Winery (WCW) for anyone’s special day. Read on for specifics on our experiences. Venue: anyone’s who been to WCW for even a minute knows how beautiful it is. It provides beautiful vineyard views that look like they’ve been pulled from a postcard. There is plenty of room on their patio for a ceremony and the outdoor bar (with fire pit!) makes a really cool spot to hold a happy hour before the reception. The interior is classic, rusty beauty. The yellowed lighting sets such a romantic mood and there’s more than enough room for any guest to do what they like best – dance, sit on couches, hang at the tables or bar, or just mosey about. We had guests tell us that it was the “classiest, most fun wedding” they’ve ever been to. Food/Wine: this was literally the only wedding we’ve ever been to where the food was served piping hot. It was strategically served so the most important tables got theirs first, and it came out in record ti... Read moreme. The wine is also obviously a nice touch. High quality, and you get to take home whatever you don’t drink the night-of. The one thing we would most definitely not recommend in regards to WCW’s food is the pre-wedding tasting. It’s wildly overpriced (in WCW’s defense, we were informed about this beforehand) and the food we received at the tasting wasn’t nearly as good as the food we received the night of the wedding. Wedding Planner/Execution: now to the best part about getting married at WCW – it’s their wedding planner, Kevin Celli. We knew this guy was legit from the first second of our first meeting. He knows his business (wine and wedding planning) inside and out and inside again.Kevin is incredibly detail oriented and he truly cares about putting on an amazing show for your wedding. Overall, we loved WCW and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. From the venue, to the food, and to the execution, everything about it is awesome.

Willow Creek is the perfect venue for a New Jersey wedding-- a beautiful farm and winery just minutes from the beaches of Cape May-- it is absolutely perfect! Kevin and his staff were very organized and met every expectation we had. It was very stressful planning a wedding from FL but, Kevin was on top of every detail and made sure we got everything we wanted. From helping us with local vendors to making sure all of our decor was set up, he went above and beyond. Our guests raved about the venue, food, service, and ambiance. We could not have been more pleased!

My husband & I were married on an unseasonably cold, April 29, 2016 amidst at least 200 of our closest family & friends at Willow Creek Winery. I say "at least" because, throughout the wedding planning process, you truly get to know the wedding coordinators, the venue & their incredible staff. After a year of wedding planning, we grew extremely close to Kevin Celli & his amazing Willow Creek/Farm staff. Not only was Kevin's attention to detail spot on, but he was able to predict the timing of every phase of our wedding day. He orchestrated the outside tents (under which we said our vows), he called our tent company the day before our wedding because I neglected to order sides for our tents, & he greeted me with a huge, friendly smile before I walked down the aisle to forever. Kevin reminded us of timing cues for cocktail hour, the dances, cake cutting & speeches. He & his staff seamlessly expedited 3 courses from the kitchen, to our guests. I can't thank Kevin enough for keepin... Read moreg my nerves together, for taking charge when necessary & for literally making our wedding day , the Best Day Ever.

I was married at Willow Creek Winery on April 23rd of 2016. When my husband and I first started researching venues, I had heard of Willow Creek through a family friend who was married there and I just knew that this winery was the place for our special day. We met with Kevin Celli in February of 2015 and instantly fell in love with the winery and wanted to be best friends with Kevin. He was fantastic to work with! So detail-oriented and helpful, and he makes sure that we were on top of our own planning. There is a schedule of meetings prior to the big day, and Kevin spends the time to thoroughly go through everything. It's as if it's his only job at Willow Creek, and it most certainly is not!! He's pretty much running the show there, he is just a treasure! The staff at the winery were the sweetest, most attentive group of people. They took such great care of my husband and I, of our bridal party and of all of our guests. They went over and beyond, set up the room so beautifully and wor... Read moreked super hard to make the day all that more special for us. I can't think of anything that went wrong, and if something did, there was no way I would have known. Barbara (the owner) was lovely to speak to and work with for the ceremony. She was our officiant, and it just added to the day and to the memories. We were married on this farm and winery by the owner. We can come back here as often as we like to reminisce and enjoy their delicious wine and tapas menu, where at a regular banquet hall you can't do that. From the landscape to the building, to the food, our guests had a blast and told us it was one of the best weddings they had been to. My only problem...I wish it were longer!! The day flew, but it was a perfect day!! I can't wait to go back to Willow Creek! Hands down one of THE best decisions we made for our wedding!

From start to finish our entire wedding planning and event experience with Willow Creek was amazing! Ariella worked with us every step of the way to answer any questions I had in the process in a timely manner and facilitated productive check in meetings that made it easy for us to deliver the information they needed to hold a unforgettable ceremony and reception. The day of everything went smoothly thanks to the event staff's attention to detail. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food from Southern Mansion catering was amazing too. We received so many compliments from guests on the beauty of the space saying it was the best wedding they have been to and they didn't know New Jersey had wineries like this. It was such a memorable night for everyone that couldn't have gone better!

This venue is amazing! The setting is gorgeous all year round - surrounded by vineyards and trees - perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

We are so grateful to have chosen Willow Creek Winery for our wedding. It was absolutely a dream come true! Not only is the winery naturally gorgeous, but Kevin and his staff were professional, organized, attentive and genuinely delighted to share this special day with us. We had our ceremony outside (at sunset, with the vines in the background) and our cocktail hour around the outdoor bar. The tasting room was transformed into a truly elegant and romantic space for the reception. Kevin was a joy to work with during the entire planning process. Our guests were blown away by every aspect of the wedding from the venue to the dinner. Their caterer, the Southern Mansion, is top-notch; the food was delicious! We give Willow Creek our highest recommendation for celebrating a wedding.
