A small wedding venue beneath century-old pines
Exchange vows among historic cabins and celebrate with your favorite people in the San Bernardino Mountains, five minutes from Lake Arrowhead.
Your day in the mountains
About 90 minutes from Los Angeles, Willow Woods Park offers a mountain getaway within reach for you and your guests. Begin the day getting ready in two of the property’s original cabins, then make your way to the ceremony.
After the ceremony, gather on the grounds for dinner and dancing under the string lights. Our team takes care of the setup and cleanup, so you can spend that time with your guests.
A small wedding is the whole point here
A smaller guest list gives you time to be with the people you’ve invited: to hear their stories over dinner, join them on the dance floor, and spend the day together beneath the trees.
With 40 guests, the gathering feels intimate and full of life. With 80, there’s still room to spread out and settle in. Packages are priced per guest, with no separate site fee or service charge.

One romantic forest venue, two kinds of day
Katie's done this a few hundred times
“We worked with Katie from first meeting all the way through, and she was a big part of what sold us on the location.”
“Willow Woods was all I could ever want as a bride because it felt like an enchanted forest from a storybook. I loved the rustic and whimsical aesthetic, the cute 1920s cabins, the woodsy outdoors, and the pizza!”
“The night was beyond anything we could have imagined. Our photos look like they are straight out of a Pinterest board, and we will be dreaming about this day for the rest of our lives.”
