We just had our wedding at Carlos Creek Winery last weekend and it was MORE than I could have asked for! Everything went perfectly. The staff was so helpful, and everything was done for you before you could even ask for it like set up and take down. Michelle answered questions so quickly and had great ideas for me (I had a lot of questions considering it was my first wedding planning process). The setting is so romantic and the outdoors so beautiful that the venue speaks for itself. We had so many compliments from not only our guests but our vendors as well on what a great venue this was! We had the pasta bar option for food and it was delicious and convenient for the guests. Picking out a wine list for your own wedding is pretty great, too! :) We loved everything about this venue and the staff and highly recommend it.

I could not have asked for a better wedding day! It was perfect and exactly what I imagined. The staff is wonderful, especially Michelle the wedding coordinator. She was so helpful and always very prompt. Made it as much of a stress free process as possible. The wine is amazing!

We planned a wedding for my daughter and her fiance this past July 2012 at the Carlos Creek Winery. We got more than we could have ever asked for or imagined. It’s not easy to plan a wedding when you live out of state (Texas) but Michelle and Tami made it so easy. They are very good at paying attention to all the details of what you want to create… but they also give you great ideas when you’re not so sure. They were a delight to work from start to finish because they are very confident of their process.

The wedding itself could not have been more charming in the “Natural Cathedral” outside. We then had a social hour on the private terrace overlooking the vineyard before we all entered the reception hall. The terrace was very picturesque and the service for the open bar & hor d'oeuvres was perfect.

The reception hall is very beautiful too with a great elegant but rustic look. And there are so many photo opportunities with the horse stables, wine cellar, and vineyards. Everyone was in such a festive mood simply because you’re at a winery! And the wine was great too! All and all, it was an A+ experience… everyone keeps talking about how fun the whole wedding experience was. I would highly recommend planning a wedding at Carlos Creek Winery.

Carlos Creek Winery did a fabulous job hosting our wedding ceremony and reception! We are completely satisfied with the service and overall atmosphere of the day! The staff was very accommodating and helpful, and the wedding coordinator was always able to answer any and all questions I had and always gave a timely response. (No question was too small or silly.) The property of the winery is gorgeous and makes for fabulous wedding photos. We heard so many compliments from our guests about how nice the evening was-- outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour on the patio, and indoor reception.

They especially liked having the option to ride the complimentary shuttle bus service into town to the hotels at the end of the night. I couldn't be more happy with how our wedding turned out. HIGHLY recommend any future brides looking for a venue to at least go for a visit to taste some wine and view the property!

We hosted our wedding at Carlos Creek Winery last July. It was perfect! We planned our wedding from Seattle and Michelle was SO great at helping us coordinate everything - I truly felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing. We chose to do a lot of things ourselves (flowers, cake, etc.), which they were very open to.

It actually rained the day of our wedding, but the natural amphitheater was still beautiful and Michelle was there with umbrellas for the guests :) Plus, no one minded a break from the heat!

The reception hall is huge - big enough for a very large group. Ours was small, but it was still a beautiful venue to host in.

My fiance and I chose Carlos Creek Winery for our wedding this past summer. We were so happy we did!! Since we were from out of town, I was a little nervous about planning the event over the phone and in emails.
From the moment we met Michelle at the Winery we felt that every thing would be taken care of with no problems. She was available for phone calls and returned emails promptly.
There are several sites on the property for ceremonies. Each space was a little different. We chose the 'natural cathedral' for the shade. Since our wedding was in July and we wanted the ceremony outside, the shade sure helped!
They remodeled their reception space this past winter. We saw the before and after. The after is beautiful! The food was great and the employees were very helpful!
Overall we had a great time and everything was taken care of with no issues!

Carlos Creek is amazing! Going into the wedding I thought it would be good, never in a million years did I think it would turn out to be fabulous. Our guests were impressed that the afternoon went so smoothly. We were married in the Cathedral and had a social hour on the terreace. It was followed by dinner in the reception hall. Michelle and Chris were outstanding. They were both there at every turn and made my wedding day run perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend using the Winery for your wedding.

Our wedding at Carlos Creek Winery was perfect. The staff was so helpful in answering all of our questions and making the day run smoothly. The amphitheater was set up perfectly and was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend the Winery to any bride who wants a stress-free, beautiful wedding surrounded by nature.

What a great experience! Everything was so easy! Michelle was so great, helping to guide us in decisions that we really didn't know how to make. She helped give of ideas and if I had any questions, she got back to me right away. The ceremony sites are all gorgeous and the reception hall worked out perfectly. I was concerned that it would look empty with it being so big, but it looked great with all of the touches from the winery! There was more than enough food and everyone had a great time. The wine slushies were a huge hit, as were the mashed potatoe martinis! I have no complaints and would be really happy to attend a wedding here as well. My family from out of state was pleased to see such a beautiful area in Minnesota. Our wedding turned out better than I ever could have imagined and I'm so glad that we got married at the Carlos Creek Winery.

Michelle, the event coordinator, was amazing! I was planning my wedding from another country and she was really flexible and responsive. The space is beautiful and my guests were very impressed by the natural charm of the space. The food was okay (we chose from the reserve menu), but not blow-you-away amazing. Overall a great experience and I would send any bride the winery's way.

Carlos Creek Winery was a beautiful venue for our wedding and reception. The improvements they've made to the property has made it a VERY desirable place to have a wedding. Michelle was beyond excellent to work with- promptly replying to all questions and concerns. She also has very great suggestions, and is as 'hands-on' as you need her to be. Our guests had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the winery experience! (The beautiful day was an added bonus)

My wedding at Carlos Creek Winery was amazing. We hosted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception there. Michelle, the site coordinator, was charming to work with. She was able to advise us on every issue, made our wedding planner's life simple, and ensured that all our wishes were catered to.

Try the wine slushies when creating your menus. Our guests loved them and they were a wonderfully unique experience.
