Our Story
A place where every generation feels welcome
Founded in 2012
The Hartwell family's vision
In 2012, the Hartwell family set out to create a venue where a wedding, a 70th birthday, and a corporate dinner could all feel equally at home.
They wanted a space that was elegant without being stuffy, and welcoming to kids, grandparents, and colleagues alike. More than a decade later, Willowmere Hall has hosted 900+ events and become a trusted gathering place for families across Henderson and the Las Vegas valley.
We're still family-run, and we still believe that great hospitality is what turns an event into a memory.

Every guest, from the smallest child to the oldest grandparent, is welcomed like family.
