We are committed to continuing the family’s romantic legacy, where forever starts.
The Willow and Oak story began in the 1980s when a single mom and a self-proclaimed bachelor accidentally fell in love and then set about creating this estate that became the site for family weddings. When the newlywed Palmers decided to build their home and life here among the oaks, they had no idea they would be creating a legacy that led to the estate’s extraordinary wedding venue.
In 2005, their oldest daughter married her high school sweetheart on the estate, followed a few years later by the youngest daughter’s wedding. In 2018 the Palmers renewed their marriage vows with a formal celebration, officiated by their youngest daughter, with their grandbabies in attendance.
