From the reviews
We had an absolute blast hosting our wedding ceremony and reception at Willow Riverside. Beautiful grounds, great accommodations and very helpful staff. Kim went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I would very highly recommend this space for any large event.
This venue is absolutely beautiful and situated perfectly near the heart of Bastrop! They were so kind and accommodating with our last minute request to book. I wish I had taken photos, but we were a bit busy. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone seeking one for a small or large event.
Willow Riverside is an absolute hidden gem here in Bastrop! We hosted both our engagement party and my bridal shower here, and the venue could not have been more perfect.

We had an amazing experience at Willow Riverside Retreat and Event Center! We stayed in the cabins and also attended an event, and everything exceeded expectations. The location is incredibly peaceful and quiet—perfect for relaxing and getting away from the noise of everyday life.
Getting married at Willow Riverside
Willow Riverside 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.
Corporate events & private parties at Willow Riverside
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Willow Riverside — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
