Los Willows Weddings

Anticipation mounts. Your guests notice the graceful weeping willow and serene spring-fed lake to their left, but all eyes are expectantly focused on the flower draped gazebo to their right. They know that soon you'll be standing beneath it, exchanging vows with your groom. There is silence as the big moment nears. Suddenly, a bell that sits in a tower above the gazebo peals and a boat glides toward the crowd carrying precious cargo; you, the bride. Everyone is delighted and surprised, as this wasn't part of the rehearsal. But it is a Los Willows tradition, perfectly choreographed for maximum effect: you make a clandestine exit from Los Willows' roomy Victorian-style bridal suite- stocked with your favorite drinks and snacks - to a vintage Rolls Royce that whisks you to a boathouse where attendants help you board the craft. Others help you gracefully disembark for your walk down the aisle. After the ceremony, you reboard - this time with your husband - for a celebratory champagne cruise around the lake.

This playful turn of events puts everyone - including you- at ease. It's a welcome surprise - the only kind allowed at Los Willows, whose goal is to make all your worries evaporate. Wedding coordinators oversee each detail, working closely with your vendors. And with only once scheduled event at a time, yours will get the attention it deserves.

Los Willows believes that you and your family and friends should be able to spend your time here connecting with each other in a thoroughly relaxed way. To facilitate this they recently added a small Inn overlooking the secluded property - its 44 lush acres well tended by four full-time groundskeepers. Take a dip in the pool, or have a glass of Los Willows' own wine on the patio next to a cascading waterfall. Each guest room boasts Tuscan-style décor, hand-painted tomepe l'oeil are on the walls, a deluxe king-sized bed and a luxurious whirlpool tub. The Innkeeper makes sure you're properly pampered, serving homemade breakfast on your private patio, where you'll hear birds calling as the mist clears from the hilltops.

All you need is on site: Get your hair, nails, and makeup done in the full-service salon. Indulge in body treatments, facials, and whirlpool pedicures. Release stress and rehydrate in the steam room and sauna, then follow with a rejuvenating facial by Los Willows' aesthetician. Leave tensions on the massage table, alone or in tandem with your betrothed. Throughout all of this you'll enjoy uninterrupted privacy because the salon and spa, like the Inn, are reserved for your wedding party.

Speaking of parties, your reception will be unforgettable. Hold court from the raised sweetheart table in the large, airy pavilion, and dance on the polished oak floor, which reflects the light from an awe-inspiring, six-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier. The in-house caterer is happy to customize your menu, and you'll dine on gourmet five-star cuisine whether you have a sit-down dinner, a buffet, or specialty food stations. Clearly, our staff goes to great lengths to make you feel like a treasured member of the Los Willows' family.
