  The Willow Creek Inn

  3083 Wyant Rd, Vale, NC 28168, USA

  • Spaces for 200 Guests

  Willow Creek Inn is a historic Victorian manor built in 1877, now operating as a boutique event venue in Prescott, Arizona. Originally located in downtown Prescott, the building was carefully disassembled and relocated to its current address on Willow Creek Road in 1962, where it was reassembled and renovated. The property has carried several names over the decades — including the Green Frog Inn and The Carriage House Inn — and spent more than two decades hosting weddings, anniversaries, and banquets as the Willow Creek Restaurant. In 2021, the property was purchased and reimagined as a dedicated event venue by a third-generation wedding hostess, who oversaw a full renovation and redecoration of the space. Today, Willow Creek Inn welcomes a broad range of celebrations — weddings and elopements, anniversary parties, vow renewals, birthday gatherings, family and class reunions, celebrations of life, and corporate events — in both indoor and outdoor settings framed by lush gardens, serene creeks, and mature trees. The venue offers event coordination, in-house décor services through Willow Creek Creations, and partnerships with local catering and vendor teams. Event insurance is required for all bookings.
