Your destination wedding & event venue

 

There’s so much more to this rustically elegant wedding venue at the top of the Leelanau Peninsula. More than the fireplaces and chandeliers; crystal and branch. More than the outside deck, Creekside Patio and walkway bridge where couples take iconic photos of their grand entrance. And more than the special care taken by our staff to help you make this the best day ever. For Willowbrook Mill, the most important part of the story is you.

All the joy that fills this beautiful old building outshines each and every meticulously crafted detail. We take extra measures to make sure that our venue always shines so that most important element for a perfect wedding has a worthy setting. That element is love. Come. Let your love shine at Willowbrook Mill.
