About Us
Wild Willow began as a golf course in Stockton, IL, until owners Neill and Becky Cahill transformed it into their dream home. Over the years, they’ve created countless memories with their two children and two dogs, who you’ll often see enjoying the property. Locals have long loved the pond for fishing, dog swims, and taking in the stunning views. Inspired by the beauty of the land, Neill and Becky decided to bring their vision of a wedding venue to life. After months of planning, blueprints, and meetings, Wild Willow’s venue is now under construction. Tours are currently available, and the venue is set to officially open Memorial Day weekend 2026.
Wild Willow Event Venue is a dream turned into reality. It's a place where love stories come to life, and where unforgettable memories are made.
Our team is dedicated to providing you with exceptional service, ensuring that your special day is everything you've ever imagined. From the moment you step into our venue, to the time you say your farewells, we'll be by your side to make every moment truly magical.
