The hall was the one thing that I did not worry about at all.
It was the first thing I booked and it was the only place I visited. Hamlet WIllow Creek was amazing....I booked it without being inside- only by seeing a DVD video of what the hall should look like. We took a chance and boy were we thrilled with the result. The dvd was EXACTLY like the way the hall looked...it was amazing down to every detail.
The rooms are homey, yet elegant. Its the feel of a modern country club but yet very warm and cozy with a gorgeous fireplace and mantle with cushy sofas and beveled mirrors. The reception room has modern chandeliers and a beautiful veranda overlooking a golf course and there is a side club room that has a glass wine cellar and granite counters...it is ultimate class and elegance yet simple and tasteful.
The view of the golf course is breathtaking and you do not need to go somewhere else for pictures- we took them all on the premises. It was pouring rain for part of my day and we still got a bunch of beautiful outside pictures when it stopped.Especially the veranda with the white pillars..
those are my favorite pictures.
The matre'd Barbara is what really sold me on the place. See was extremely professional, honest and talented. From the start I could tell she had the same taste as me so I used many of her suggestions and I am so glad I did- she really knows what she is talking about!! Listen to Barbara!!!
Barbara went ABOVE and BEYOND for me. She was soo patient and kind to me throughout the planning process. She was also extremely on-the-ball. She wrote back to all of my emails within a few hours- even on nights after an event- I saw some emails come through at 1 am! She is amazing and I feel like words can not do her justice.
When my dj was late she spent so much time trying to call replacements and she had a backup plan to download songs onto an ipod and hook it up with speakers...my day would have been fine and she reassured me.
She is also very on top of her staff..the staff was professional and extremely efficient.
They brought drinks to the tables for each guest like clockwork. People were amazed at the service....they covered our meals when it got cold..they gave you seconds if you asked for it and the waiters were well trained and acted like adults.
The food was amazing..there were soo many things to choose from on the menu that I had a hard time. The sushi bar is included in the price (most places you pay more for that) and also things like lamb chops, shrimp and salmon etc.
To this day we are still getting calls or emails about how great the food was at the Hamlet.
The portions were huge and presented like a 5 start restaurant. We had filet mignon, tilapia and a horseradish chicken. For the appetizer we had shrimp risotto and followed by a citrus vinegarette salad and goat cheese crostini. For dessert we had the cheese cake mousse in a tulle almond shell..TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!! And my cake was AMAZING....I sent them a picture and they made it even more gorgeous then I expected....it was a STUNNING cake and it was moist and the white chocolate mousse and strawberry filling was delicious!!!
I wish I could write a book because fh and I were soo impressed with the wedding there that words can not even describe.

Dear Barbara:
Just a short note to thank you once again for all that you have done for us in making Liz and Andre's Wedding Reception the success that it was
Marie and I have received many phone calls and letters complimenting us on such an outstanding affair at the Hamlet Willow Creek. That having been said, I am sure you will be pleased to know that comments were made not only on the beautiful decor of the club, but also on the excellent quality of the food and service. Of course it goes without saying that we both know and understand that this would not have been possible without you and your staff's attention to every last detail.
The Management at Hamlet Willow Creek should be very proud of their decision to make you Director of Catering and Sales
