Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at Crossed Keys this November 2024. We are so grateful to their entire team for all of their hard work to make our wedding day everything we had hoped for. They were organized, responsive, and accommodating from the very day we booked them as our venue until our wedding was over. The venue is stunning, CKE designs brings your floral/decor visions to life, and our guests loved the food! I would highly recommend CKE to future couples getting married!!
