We got married at Creekside in October or 2024. Everything about this venue was exactly what we were looking for in our small wedding. Joni and co. did an amazing job planning every detail leading up to our big day, and ensured that the day-of was everything we wanted it to be. We had a beautifully intimate ceremony and reception that captured everything we wanted our big day to be. Highly recommend checking out Creekside if you're looking for a small wedding venue.

Their communication style put us at ease and made us feel like their top priority.
