Since that time, we have transformed Willowdale into a magical and serene environment, where special celebrations take place in an exclusive setting with an atmosphere of understated elegance. Each event is hosted by seasoned professionals who pride themselves on flawless execution. Our innovative and refined cuisine is prepared by an award-winning culinary team. We invite you to step back in time to an era of unparalleled leisure and refinement and allow Willowdale Estate to create unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
