We recently stayed at Willow Lodge for our wedding, and it was truly an unforgettable experience . From the very beginning, Siuzanna was so kind and helpful with our reservations, making it easy for us to book 20 rooms for our guests. The manager Linda was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Because we reserved a large block of guest rooms, she gave us excellent discounted rates not only for the accommodations but also for the Courtyard and the Club Room. The value was truly unbeatable compared to standard pricing, and it made hosting our wedding celebration with live music and catering even more special. During our stay, the team even assisted with handling out our welcome gifts to arriving guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. The property has wonderful amenities- large refrigerator, and a bar in the Courtyard- which made it easy for us to host catering and celebrate with family and friends. The housekeeping staff were attentive and professional, and we appreciated seeing hotels updates to the rooms- everything felt fresh and welcoming. Willow Lodge helped make our wedding weekend not only smooth and well-organized, but also truly joyful. We are so grateful for the hospitality and highly recommend this venue to everyone.

We planned an destination wedding with Jodi Cotten. She was prompt with any answers to questions and available when a visit was required. She is a GREAT sounding board and has many suggestions, as she has planned/seen many events. She has worked with many local vendors and all were very complimentary of the staff at LCC. Our year long planning concluded with hurricane Ian making landfall one day prior to our event. Jodi and the staff at LCC went above and beyond to make everything perfect. My new daughter-in-law said she was treated like royalty. The space was laid out as requested, the food was excellent, the bar tenders were attentive, and the wait staff was incredibly professional. I can not provide enough positive feedback about our experience. They turned a difficult weather event into a magical, unforgettable, night. We highly recommend LCC and their staff for your special day.
