The destination boutique wedding & event venue

 

A new chapter…

After ten years of beautiful weddings and exciting events here at Willowbrook Mill, we are entering the next phase of our lives and retiring from the industry we know and love so well.

Willowbrook Mill is presently under contract to be sold to a new operator, and is not currently accepting any new bookings.  The new operators are in the process of planning  for their preservation and use of this historic venue, and reimagining how the property can continue to enhance the beautiful and vibrant nature of the Northport community. 

As the new owners create their vision for this historic venue, there will be an active inquiry link here on this website so that they have the ability to reach out to your for your future needs.

It has been a great honor to act as stewards for this grand old space and we wish all of our Willowbrook Mill Wedding Couples a long and happy life.

All the best~
