Fees, Features, & Furnishings

Willow Heights Mansion sits above Morgan Hill with the kind of confidence that comes from a good view and no need to announce it. The drive up opens to rolling hills and vineyard rows that catch the light just right, and by the time guests step out of their cars, the tone is already set. The mansion rises behind manicured lawns like it’s been expecting you—classic, composed, and entirely unbothered by trends.

The grounds feel intentional without feeling fussy. Lawns are clipped, paths are clear, and every space quietly signals where the day is headed next. Guests instinctively know where to gather, where to linger, and when to move. This is a venue that doesn’t ask you to micromanage the flow—it carries the day for you. When the schedule starts ticking, everything falls into place without friction or fanfare.

Willow Heights is at its best with 100–300 guests, where the scale feels celebratory but never overwhelming. With outdoor ceremony and cocktail spaces paired with an indoor ballroom, the weather becomes background noise rather than a headline. Sun or clouds, the plan holds.

From a planning standpoint, the logistics are refreshingly clear. A high-season Saturday typically lands in the $4,500–$8,000+ range, with 8–10 hours included and the option to extend if the party needs it. Tables and chairs are already accounted for, parking is ample, and the foundational pieces are in place before you start layering in florals, linens, and personal touches.

In the end, Willow Heights Mansion feels steady and self-assured. It knows how to host, knows how to hold a crowd, and knows when to step back and let the celebration shine. And honestly, that quiet confidence is exactly what makes planning here feel so easy.

Wedding Day Blueprint

Pre-Ceremony

You arrive early because Willow Heights earns a slow morning. Hills roll out in every direction, the manicured lawn looks freshly pressed, and the mansion rises behind it all like a composed leading character. Guests pull in, step out of their cars, and pause—phones already up—because the view insists on it. Inside, dedicated getting-ready rooms give everyone space to spread out, breathe, and settle in before the spotlight turns on.

Ceremony

The Manicured Lawn is the ceremony star. Wide, level, and immaculately kept, it faces the valley with the mansion framing the aisle behind you. Chairs line up cleanly, sightlines are generous, and the scale works beautifully whether you’re hosting 100 or pushing closer to 300. No extra structures needed—the landscape handles the drama.

Appetizers & Cocktails

Post-vows, guests drift to the Terrace, a paved, elevated space that wraps the mansion and overlooks the hills. This is prime mingling territory—open air, room to circulate, and just enough architectural definition to feel intentional. Glasses clink, conversation stretches, and sunset does what it does best.

Dinner Reception

Dinner unfolds in the Ballroom, a spacious, neutral-toned room designed to hold a crowd without feeling cavernous. Chandeliers anchor the ceiling, soft uplighting warms the walls, and the layout easily accommodates long banquet tables or rounds. The built-in dance floor sits front and center—polished, permanent, and ready—so dinner transitions seamlessly into dancing without a room flip.

Dancing & Send-Off

As music builds, the ballroom comes alive—lights dim, chandeliers glow, and the dance floor fills. When the night winds down, you slip outside beneath the stars, the mansion lit behind you like a quiet encore.

Willow Heights doesn’t rush the day. It gives every moment a place to land—and that’s what makes it work so beautifully.

Food & Beverage

At Willow Heights Mansion, dinner doesn’t interrupt the party—it paces it. Courses arrive exactly when guests are ready for them, plates land hot, glasses stay filled, and somehow everything feels effortless. That’s not magic. That’s a kitchen that knows what it’s doing.

Food here is handled in-house, which means the culinary team already understands the building, the timeline, and how a full guest list actually moves through a night. No mystery caterers, no temporary kitchens popping up out back, no one shouting about burners. Just a steady rhythm from prep to plate.

Menus lean classic with intention—the kind of crowd-pleasing dishes that taste familiar but polished. Think food that travels well, holds its temperature, and still earns compliments halfway through the first dance. Whether you choose plated, buffet, or family-style service, the goal stays the same: keep guests happy, fed, and focused on the celebration—not wondering when dinner is coming.

The bar follows suit. Beverage service runs through the venue, so licensing, staffing, and timing stay buttoned up. Bar packages slide neatly into the evening—cocktails appear when the energy shifts, wine refills before anyone has to ask, and no one realizes how much coordination is happening because they don’t need to.

The result is a food and beverage experience that feels seamless, confident, and quietly indulgent. The kitchen keeps pace, the bar keeps the mood right, and the celebration never misses a beat—which, frankly, is exactly how it should taste.
