Meet Your Event Hosts Who’ll Feel Like Family

After years in demanding careers, Derek and Jody have built more than a wedding venue, they’ve made a conscious decision to step into something more meaningful. They wanted to create a space that brings people together, celebrates life’s biggest moments, and allows others to experience the same sense of connection and balance they were searching for themselves.

Their goal is simple, to create a wedding experience that feels as special as the reason you are celebrating. You are not just booking a venue. You are working with owners who are personally invested in making sure your wedding feels thoughtful, smooth, and truly yours.

We truly care about our couples. Look at their little love notes!

“Crooked Willow was an amazing place to have our wedding! They were able to move our ceremony indoors when the forecast was looking quite rainy and everything was still so beautiful!”

“This is one of those venues where you can step on any inch of the property and the photo looks amazing. They left the work for us very minimal, so we could focus on spending time with the special people in our life. My bride and I are grateful for the experience at Crooked Willow and highly recommend it!”
