Experienced coordinators and award-winning chefs ensure that client visions for one-of-a-kind meetings and events are realized in a manner that allows them to enjoy their event, while earning the praise of their most discerning guests. In the highest traditions of understated-but-impeccable hospitality, every detail is taken into account by career professionals who pride themselves on flawless execution.

Carefully crafted occasions. Modern amenities. Historical surroundings. Innovative cuisine. Understated elegance. The unique elements that comprise Willowdale Estate are masterfully wielded and assembled by the gracious and seasoned hands of our staff—just as they were when princes, statesmen and war-heroes convened, celebrated, and relaxed here at the beginning of the last century. We invite you to step back in time to an era of unparalleled leisure and refinement and allow Willowdale Estate to create unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
