All of us here at The Grand Willow have worked so hard to make a place that will bring joy into the lives of others. Most of the gratitude is expressed verbally rather than in writing either way it's the comments that keep us going. Thanks for your excellent site, service, menu and support for my daughter's wedding at The Grand Willow. Everything came together so nicely and it was an excellent day and a memorable event. We received nothing but positive feedback from guests at the wedding. I could not be happier with the whole experience. Thanks Again - Jim Stephens Thanks again for everything! Our wedding went so smoothly and we had so many people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! You and your staff were so amazing! You guys took care of everything so that we simply could enjoy our wedding without having to worry about a thing. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Thanks again, Kelly & Kyle Blair We loved The Grand Willow. Connie and her staff were very organized and yet flexible. Of course it rained on our wedding day in August and Connie patiently waited while I went back and forth about whether or not to keep the wedding outdoors. When it started pouring we knew it would be indoors, but it was perfect! I got so many compliments about the effect of me (the bride) "coming down the staircase" that I was very happy with our decision! Guests raved about the food, the service and just the venue itself. All of the vendors suggested by Connie were FABULOUS!! I am so thankful that our special day went so well and I recommend The Grand Willow whole heartedly. Hello Connie; I first want to start by thanking you for all the the things that you did for us before and during our wedding! You were AMAZING!! I can't imagine getting through everything so smoothly without the superior service from you and your staff. Your wedding coordinator that day did a great job as well! Please give her a huge THANK YOU from me!:) The set up was perfect and it was everything I had dreamt it would be! The venue looked amazing and I had a flood of great comments about your place and how great your food was! Thank you again for allowing us to use your place and investing so much to help us. You truly are amazing! My best regards, Lisa (Edwards) Kortekaas Connie, Just wanted to tell you thank you for sending the deposit refund so quickly. We had an absolutely wonderful day.

Karen Dingeman (Mother of Bride) I just wanted to thank you. I have not stopped thinking about my wedding day. I want to do it all over again. I had the most perfect day. This was a wonderful experience, I couldn't have asked for anythiing better. If there were any problems, I was never informed. I got to enjoy my day completely without interruption. I got so many compliments about your facility. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much for the most perfect day!!!

I could not have had a better wedding day without you. As the bride it was very nice to not have to worry about anything and just enjoy the day. Thank you. Sincerely, Angela Magney Davidson The following comments were left on King 5s Best of Western Washington site: I only posted the comments that I could verify and they all gave us 5 out of 5 stars: My husband and I got married there, and Connie (owner) and her helper were AMAZING! Not only are the grounds and home beautiful..she decorates, provides tables, chairs, catering, bussing/clean up, sound system set up for a DJ, indoor or outside ceremony option, she is organized and works with you...I could go on and on. I felt like things were taken care of, and made me calm down. I had a wonderful night, everthing went perfect and everyone who attended that spoke to me expressed how great the place was and that they "didn't even know it was there". So, check it out. I am beyond pleased with the Grand Willow, I will never forget it! Danielle L. My husband and I fell in love with The Grand Willow immediately. As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Connie and her staff made sure that everything was flawless. We had the wedding of our dreams, it was absolutely beautiful! For what the cost includes, it is by far the best deal around. Not having to ask family and friends to help set up or tear down was priceless. Thanks for everything Grand Willow! Kerri B. § This was more than I could have hoped or dreamed of. Not only was the venue completely beautiful, the team of staff working here made sure everything was to the nines, and that the day went smooth. Thank you Grand Willow! Amber L. § They went above and beyond for us and all of our family members! They even built a coffee bar just for our occasion! They were amazing! All details were taken care of and I didn't have to worry about a thing (even as a bride!)lol Aubree W. § The Grand Willow Inn put on a splendid wedding for us! We are so thankful for all their amazing help. Many guests told me ours was the best wedding they had ever been to in their entire lives! Also we were so appreciative of The Willow's help in making it a multicultural event as we had some East Indian as well as Celtic and Western traditions. Many of the guests commented on how delicious the food was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony and party. I truly was able to relax and cherish our day and will remember it for a lifetime. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, the food, gardens, and flowers were amazing, and the help with planning from Connie and her staff was spectacular. I cannot imagine better service. Go see this place in person; pictures do not do it justice. Kim Wilkenson § The Grand Willow Inn is gorgeous, and Connie and her team take care of all of the details. I've heard only good things from guests about the venue with the beautiful gardens and interior design details, as well as the food and service. I recommend The Grand Willow Inn to everyone! Laura S. § Grand Willow is the ultimate in making getting married a breeze. The site is beautiful (especially in the summer). The front yard has amazing archways perfect for a brides entrance and can seat as few or as many and necessary for a medium size wedding. The indoors portion is beautifully maintained and so warm and inviting. The venue is perfect for any type of indoor/outdoor ceremony/reception combination you could want with out disturbing plans for either event. The staff goes above and beyond in making the preparations and the day go so smoothly. Connie the owner of GW provides a decorating service and included in your package that her staff takes care of and is customized to each brides exact taste. She takes the time to sit down with you and walk you through all the decisions that need to be made for decorations moths before the wedding so the bride and groom can sit back and relax. The day of everything is set up for you! GW also provides amazing (optional but worth it) catering! The menu is unique and more affordable then any other venue we looked at. Not to mention is it delicious, almost all of my guests went back for more! I was planning my wedding at the same time as 5 of my friends and because I chose Grand Willow I was the least stressed out and had the BEST wedding of the summer (my fellow brides were a little jealous because of how easy everything was). The upfront cost is a little more then other venues (trust me we looked at MANY) but in the end it saves you money because so much is included. I would recommend it to anyone getting married! Ahsely A. § The garden at the Grand Willow Inn is always beautiful no matter what season I visited it. Connie was beyond helpful in everything I needed and spent lots of time with me figuring out the details of my wedding. They are the best! Erin S. § My husband and I got married at their beautiful place a little over two years ago. We searched a few different places before we made a final decision. We were so glad we did and it was money well spent. It is yes the most elegant place to have a wedding whether you decide to have it inside or outside like we did. It was a wonderful day. The weather was awesome, the landscaping was well maintained and the flowers were very pretty. We loved the gazebo and the outdoor waterfalls they have. All of these things made for excellent pictures of our wonderful day to have nice memories for a lifetime. The inside as well is very beautiful and includes the circular staircase, good reception room with a dance floor, a brides room upstairs and the grooms room downstairs. Outback there is also a gazebo type thing with nice green grass and more pretty flowers and big bright flower baskets were hung everywhere. So not only do you have all of this but you have the wonderful staff. Connie is very sweet, understanding and very helpful. Everything turned out to be so fun, stress free and a great day to remember. It was everything we both wanted our Wedding Day to be! Thanks to everything and everyone at The Grand Willow! Shannon Erkes Lester § I was married there recently, and it was the most perfect setting. it all came together beautifully, and the staff was awesome. all thanks to grand willow inn!!!! Sharon S § I cannot think of a more beautiful place to have a wedding. The gardens are amazing and the inside is so grand and elegant. Matt and Connie Weech do such an amazing job of coordinating and decorating and putting together the catering and flowers! The grand room has a beautiful stairway that winds down into the room and they have a wonderful large reception room for sitdown eating and buffet table setups. Connie offers full service wedding planning and you will not be dissapointed. My wedding was incredible at the Grand Willow in Mount Vernon, WA!!!!! Jane & Kurt Goche § We had our wedding at the Grand Willow in August of 2009. It was so beautiful! We had so many friends comment on how it was one of the more fun and beautiful weddings they had ever been to. Connie and the staff there are great. We had a wonderful, stress free day. They took care of everything and went the extra mile to make sure that all the little details were taken care of. Tiera M. § I had my wedding there and it was so amazing. I have never felt so at ease and not stressed about anything that big and important. The food was excellent and our night was definitely something to remember and I tell all my friends getting married to check it out. Stacie Q. § There place is absolutely breathtaking!!! On my wedding day I didn't have to think about anything, everything was done for me, which was great so that I could really enjoy the day. Angela D Beautiful, comfortable environment ... catered perfectly to one of my closest friends weddings. Not only was she extremely thrilled with it, we, as guests, also had such a fabulous time!! Sarah S. My husband and I had our wedding at the Grand Willow in August and it was spectacular - phenomenal - amazing! We had looked at dozens of venues and found that nothing had quite the set up and flow that the Grand Willow has. Additionally, Connie Weech provides SO MUCH for you - you do not have to worry about decor, linens, china, serving dishes, set up, take down, and dozens of other details that you have to worry about with other venues... Connie does it all and she does it with amazing taste, grace, and enthusiasm. I could not be happier that we had our wedding at the Grand Willow and I am incredibly grateful for Connie. She and her team made our day better than we could have imagined! Furthermore, we had numerous comments about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing everything turned out. Again, I have to thank Connie, I feel like I hardly lifted a finger. With the Grand Willow, they work incredibly hard to make your day seamless and allow you to just sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding. I give The Grand Willow my highest recommendation!! Miho Eames § This venue is absolutely gorgeous! The staff is very friendly and helpful, we were able to enjoy our wedding day with no hassles or problems at all. They took care of everything and with such ease!! Katrina Nelson § It is a very beautiful and elegant place and the grounds are immaculate. Connie is the most gracious, creative, and generous person whose aim is to create a lasting memory for the bride and groom and their families. Our son and daughter-in-law were united in marriage there and it was so beautiful. Connie took care of all the details and we couldn't have been happier. Even the officiant that she provided was just to our liking and we coudn't have been more pleased w/the ceremony. The reception hall was beautifully decorated w/their colors of choice and elegant as well. And the food was more than ample and delicious as well. When the evening was over, we took away w/us, wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Grand Willow Inn and Connie and Staff. Faith Shiroma We got married there last Saturday Oct. 3, 2009. Connie, We really appreciate your generosity in helping us meeting our bugget and gave us the most beautiful wedding. we know you put in so much extra work and decorating for us, and we want to thank you from the bottom of our heart. You have made this whole experience enjoyable and we'll never forget your kindness. we are so happy that we had our wedding at the Grand Willow it has made all of my dreams come true! You did such an awesome job with everything, and it was truly the most beautiful wedding! It was so much fun and we wish you all the best in the world. Sang & Michael Shiroma

It is absolutely breath-taking in beauty with weeping willows, flowers, and overall natural beauty. The ceremony and reception are both at the same location, which was awesome for my 120 guests. They are the caterers and the food was SO good. They decorate for you and clean up for you. The help with everything really makes your day stress free. They have wedding coordinators for the day before and the day of (she was AMAZING).

Hi Connie! I can't tell you how happy I was with everything you at the Grand Willow did with my wedding. I couldn't have pictured it going more perfectly. When Don and I first started to plan the wedding the thing of most importance to us was that everyone involved had a good time and as little stress as possible. Not only did you make our day stress free, it was absolutely beautiful, extremely well planned, and more than we could have hoped for from any other place. The staff was wonderful, the decorations just what we wanted, and the food! Everyone told us how good the food was.
Thank you so much Connie, you made our day and working with you a truly enjoyable experience- one that we will remember and treasure forever. Thank you! Don and Karen Howard §

And the weather was perfect (God smiled). The bride's room was a great place to prepare for the wedding - all the girls enjoyed having their "space" to prepare and relax. And the groomsmen enjoyed their room as well - it is very comfortable and masculine - .. It also made a good place for the men to "hide" while the bride's pictures were taken before the ceremony. From the sunny ceremony in the gazebo under the willow tree, to the presentation of the happy couple on the grand staircase, to the lovely and classy dinner setup, to the exciting and thrilling party in the carriage room, to the final and emotional goodbye at the grand entrance and departure in the limo - what a day! Several guests told both Amber and I that it was the best wedding they had ever attended! It was everything we dreamed to have for Amber's wedding and more. The Grand Willow is a real jewel for the area and we will certainly recommend you highly to our friends. I only wish we could come back every year to celebrate all over again! Thank you Teresa and Terry Hurley Connie- Catherine & I had many, many compliments on the beautiful setting & ceremony last Friday. Thanks to you & Jamie everything was just wonderful. The comments we received were from young & older alike, so thank you again very, very much for such a beautiful facility & presentation. We will always recommend your facility to friends in the future. We can't wait to see all the photos so we can remember what a wonderful time we had on our evening at The Grand Willow. Best Wishes Bob & Catherine Cordner Jamie & Connie: Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job for us. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding.
