All Aboard “Best Day Ever” the Los Willows Wedding Boat

By Cathie Ransom

Los Willows Wedding Estate’s private lake isn’t just a backdrop. With our signature boat, Best Day Ever, couples can weave unforgettable waterfront moments. Discover all the creative ways to use the Los Willows wedding boat, from a grand arrival to a sparkling sendoff.

Launch Your Wedding Aboard the “Best Day Ever”

Both the Elegant Escape and Meadow Romance wedding packages include a waterfront arrival ceremony option. Best Day Ever is also at the ready during cocktail hour, giving couples a private cruise around the lake with champagne and hors d’oeuvres. And the Meadow Romance package includes boat rides for your guests during cocktail time.

Whichever package you choose, the lake becomes part of your wedding story. It provides a serene setting for guest tours and a romantic glide for newlyweds. Couples can even add a boat departure, complete with sparklers, to cap off the reception.

A Different Way to Use the Los Willow Wedding Boat

When The Herons married at Los Willows, they used our wedding boat in a unique way. After getting ready at Los Willows, their ceremony was held at a nearby church. Guests then came to Los Willows for cocktail hour on the lawn. During that time, the bride and groom made a grand waterfront entrance on Best Day Ever. 

After disembarking, the couple and their guests gathered in the Oak Meadow for a prayer before the reception. The arrival and guest gathering before the reception felt personal, a bit surprising, and completely unique.

Just One of Many Amenities & Upgrades

Cruising aboard Best Day Ever is just one of the many amenities and upgrades available for your Los Willows wedding. Transform your space by adding marquee “LOVE” letters, an upgraded white dance floor, or even thrones. You can also enhance your wedding reception with lawn games, cold sparks, cloud effects, and a bubble gun.

Los Willows monthly “Bored” meeting

Meet Brandy & Buffy

Brandy and Buffy have a really ruff life at Los Willows. With over 18 acres to roam around on, you may run into these two on non-wedding days. Brandy’s favorite thing to do is retrieve sticks or, in some cases, branches. Buffy prefers to meet and greet with whoever has a treat.

Cathie Ransom

FOUNDER/OWNER

For over 22 years, weddings have been my passion. I like to think that we are in the “happy” business making dreams come true at each and every celebration. If there are compliments that we hear over and over again, they are, “this place is magical.” My family and I can’t take all the credit since our natural surroundings are definitely the cornerstone to this magnificent place. What I can say is we at Los Willows host only one celebration at a time so the entire focus is on you and your special moment, where memories last forever. We invite you to visit Los Willows and experience the “magic” for yourselves. You will not be disappointed!
