From the reviews
It is hard to put into words how amazing Crooked Willow is. It is unbelievably beautiful and it’s obvious Derek and Jody have poured their souls into making this venue one of a kind. Our day was very cold and windy, but our spirits never faded as we knew there was amazing interior space to take our photos.

Getting married at Crooked Willow
Crooked Willow comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
