HOW IT ALL BEGAN...
Patty Vaughan, a Wayne county native, saw the need for a wedding and event venue, right in her home town. She always dreamed of one day opening this perfect venue and giving back to her community. After looking at many different locations for years, none of them seemed quite right. Until one day, her husband Josh came home and said he’d bought some property at an auction. Josh had the idea of using the property for farm buildings and grain bins. Patty had another idea in mind! It was the location she had been looking for; the perfect place for the community event and wedding venue of her dreams! And just like that, Willow Creek Venue was born. The name Willow Creek is a tribute to Patty’s mother who loved willow trees. Patty’s mother passed away in 2011 after a long battle with cancer. Her legacy will continue to live on through Willow Creek Venue.
