Romantic Countryside Barn Wedding Venue Conveniently Located Between Calgary & Edmonton
Perfectly positioned between Calgary and Edmonton, The Woven Willow offers a beautiful central gathering place for couples whose families and friends are travelling from across Alberta. Approximately an hour from Edmonton and an easy drive from surrounding communities, our location makes it simple for guests coming from different directions to come together in one unforgettable place.
Tucked away on a peaceful acreage near Pigeon Lake, our private family-owned venue is surrounded by mature trees, open skies, and a signature willow-lined driveway that creates a truly memorable arrival.
We specialize in intimate countryside weddings where natural beauty, thoughtful detail, and a relaxed atmosphere come together to create an experience that feels both effortless and meaningful.
Facilities & Capacity
The Woven Willow accommodates up to 100 guests with exclusive access to the entire property for your wedding day.
Outdoor ceremony spaces offer a naturally stunning backdrop for vows, first looks, and photography. A handcrafted wooden arch and vintage pew seating add warmth and character while keeping the focus on the surrounding landscape.
Your reception takes place in our character-rich barn, featuring exposed wood beams, soft vintage lighting, and a flexible layout designed to suit a wide range of wedding styles. A separate catering pavilion supports smooth vendor flow and seamless event logistics.
On-site parking is available for guests, and the property is wheelchair accessible. As the grounds are natural and open, we recommend comfortable footwear.

Our wedding experience is designed to feel simple, supported, and stress-free from start to finish.
Every package includes full setup and takedown handled by our team, allowing you to stay present and enjoy your day without worrying about logistics.
We provide handcrafted harvest tables, crossback chairs, and thoughtfully curated décor elements that complement the natural surroundings while still allowing space for your personal style.

Heather is all about the 'details'! Her goal is to ensure that the most important day of your life is planned in intricate detail - from impeccable decor to professional and passionate hosting - and customized with the perfection you deserve.
Although The Woven Willow offers a 'rustic and elegant' theme, Heather's ability to make the venue and overall vibe reflect each couples' individual personalities is truly what makes The Woven Willow stand out!
If couples require a little more assistance in the coordination of their special day - Heather is there to ensure all runs smoothly.
Chelsea is Mike and Heather's daughter and is passionate about everything wedding! Her serving and bartending experience has proven essential as she takes on the bartending role (if requested) by our couples.
Chelsea's outgoing nature, love of people and professional demeanor prove to be a great fit behind the bar as your guests are treated with the attention they deserve.
When not bartending, you can find Chelsea helping her mom (Heather) decorating for each event and assisting with everything from setting up to taking down.
