About The Ranch
Premier Rustic Wedding Venue and Boutique Accommodation
Willows Ranch is the ultimate rustic wedding venue. A working cattle farm situated on the hills above the Bay of Islands, offering a beautiful setting for your dream wedding, as well as farm style on-site accomodation. Say "I do" on the front lawn, or beneath the the trees in our enchanted forest. With stunning views and unique ceremony spots, your country wedding awaits!
After your wedding, book your stay at our exclusive rustic farm accommodation. Sleeping up to twelve people, every detail has been carefully curated to ensure your comfort and relaxation after an epic party. Our charming barn stay features three bedrooms, offering a peaceful sanctuary.
At Willows Ranch, we understand that your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and our dedicated team is committed to ensuring every detail exceeds your expectations. From personalized décor to our BYO bar, “The Cattleman’s Club”, we strive to create a truly magical experience that reflects your unique love story.
One of our favorite things about running a venue is building relationships with our clients. At Willows Ranch, we care about your experience from the moment you first contact us, to the moment you walk out our doors at the end of your magical evening. We are your biggest supporters, your wedding planning partners. The person you can call whether your question is related to our venue or you simply need someone in the industry to bounce an idea off of - maybe even vent about something that is causing you stress.
You can trust us to be there for you no matter what you need, because you are not just a client, you are our client - and that means everything to us.
Meet Willow & Philippa
Philippa is a tried & true Northland local, growing up farming in the Far North, whilst Willow grew up in the rural deep South.
After meeting in 2016, they became instant best friends with their love for country music, events, travel and family.
With extraordinary taste in design and all things weddings, Willow & Philippa are the co-ordinators you need in your life. Extremely driven and motivated, with their support of their partners, they have created an events venue that incorporated their background of living in the country and giving people an authentic taste of a barn wedding.
When they’re not in peak wedding season, you’ll find Philippa out sailing the seas with her family, and Willow going on farm adventures with hers!
