Behind the Scenes: What Happens on a Weekend Without a Wedding?

While guests only see the magic of a perfectly set wedding day, the work behind the scenes never stops. On weekends without an event, you won’t find us kicking our feet up—we’re busy enhancing every inch of Willow and Stone Events to ensure it’s as breathtaking as ever for our future couples and guests.

This week, we’ve been pruning towering pear trees, relocating a water hydrant to improve aesthetics, installing new irrigation valves for the orchard and the vineyard, and clearing underbrush around the upper pond. We’re also setting posts for a new open-air wedding arbor (built for large lawn weddings, creek-side), transplanting 20 peonies, planting 500 seedlings, and preparing flower beds around The Retreat for a fresh landscape. Meanwhile, our team is finishing The Retreat’s back patio, ensuring the space is pristine for our next guests, and welcoming couples for venue tours.

The Retreat at Willow and Stone Events is more than a stay—it’s an experience. Completing this back patio ensures a serene and inviting outdoor space for guests to relax, unwind, and take in the beauty of the countryside.

Why Every Detail Matters

Every project we take on is with one goal in mind: to create a space where couples can celebrate love without distraction. The gentle rustling of pruned pear trees in the breeze, the soft glow of sunset reflecting on a newly cleared pond, and the scent of fresh peonies in bloom—all of these details set the stage for unforgettable moments.

We believe that just like a strong marriage, a beautiful wedding venue is built with consistent care, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to growth.

More Than Just a Venue—An Ongoing Labor of Love

For us, Willow and Stone Events is not just a venue—it’s a living, evolving space. Every flower planted, every beam set for a new arbor, and every fresh coat of paint is an investment in the memories that will be made here. Much like marriage, the beauty of a place (and a relationship) isn’t created in a single moment, but in the dedication to continually nurture and refine it.
