AMAZING experience

I cannot even thank Jennifer enough. She has been INCREDIBLE and extremely accommodating. She’s also very easy to talk to and promptly responded to every single one of my emails. By choice I postponed my wedding twice and Jennifer made the changes very smooth. She remembered many little details that I mentioned about my wedding even though she’s currently working with so many other brides. I’ve absolutely loved working with Jennifer and HIGHLY recommend booking Bridges of Poplar Creek.

Beautiful venue with a great team

We cannot say enough nice things about Bridges of Poplar Creek and the team working there - especially Jennifer! As a couple with an originally planned 2020 wedding, this year went from happy and exciting to sad and extremely stressful, but Jennifer was a saving grace throughout it all. She is incredibly responsive and communicative and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. When we originally decided to move our date in the early days of the pandemic, she was so flexible and easy to work with, and when the continuing COVID crisis meant our plans would continue to change, she remained as kind and quick to respond as ever. We had a great experience working with her and would recommend this venue to other couples looking for a kind and communicative vendor with a beautiful outdoor ceremony location and indoor reception space (the new wood floors are beautiful!)

Perfect Venue For Us

Bridges was the only venue we looked at and we have 0 regrets. Jennifer was so great to work with and helped me through the very stressful process. All of our guest commented on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! The value was what really sold us on bridges, compared to other venues you got a lot more bang for your buck! I cant say enough good things about Jennifer and bridges.

Beautiful venue with great service

We had our wedding at the Bridges of Poplar Creek on 8/31/19. It was the most amazing day, thanks to Jennifer who made sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan. She was great to work with. Anything we needed, she did for us, and she was always prompt in answering all our emails, and most of all she was pleasant..Our guests loved the outdoor ceremony and thought it was gorgeous as well as loved having the cocktail hour outside. We were blessed with great weather that day as well. Our bartenders, Kathy and Sharon were fun! The staff was great to work with and Jenny didn't miss a beat on the day of the wedding or setting up for it! Our guests loved the food and we were very impressed with it as well. We had chicken and steak and the steak was cooked perfect! I am so glad we chose the Bridges of Poplar Creek for both our ceremony and reception. The pictures came out beautifully and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a romantic and beautiful ceremony and a wedding coordinator who is very attentive to your needs.

Outstanding Venue and Experience!

Everything went smooth and well planned on the day of our wedding, 8/31/19 with many thanks to Jennifer and the rest of The Bridges of Poplar Creek staff. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We had the ceremony and reception all on site. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with in the planning of our special day. She was very attentive and helpful through all the many questions we had along the way. Responses were always prompt and she found an answer for everything we asked. On our Wedding Day, everything was coordinated well, setup properly to our liking and ran smoothly with the help of all staff. The food was great, all our guests commented to us on how great everything tasted. We also received many compliments on how great the ceremony event space was along with the reception space. I would highly recommend giving The Bridges of Poplar Creek the opportunity to make your Wedding Day as special as they did ours!

We came across Bridges of Poplar Creek less than 6 months away from the wedding date we chose after our original venue cancelled on us. We met with Jennifer and she was so helpful and accommodating and really went above and beyond to make sure we were able to have the wedding we always envisioned. She worked with us from beginning to end with quick responses to emails and questions, helpful input and other planning from our cake to our rehearsal. Our wedding day was more beautiful than either of us expected. We had our ceremony outside and the setting was perfect. Jennifer also had a backup space inside ready to go in case of bad weather but luckily we didn’t have to go that route. The grounds made for amazing photos with the bridal party. Our reception was held inside with plenty of space for roughly 160 guests and decorated beautifully. I would highly recommend having your wedding here.

I absolutely loved Bridges of Poplar Creek as my ceremony and reception venue! Jennifer was my contact at the venue and she was absolutely amazing. She answered every question I had (even if it was small) and would meet with me to go over anything I wanted or needed! We had a Sunday brunch (buffet style) wedding and the food was fantastic! There was more than enough food for everyone and I can honestly say everything was delicious! They were also very accommodating with guests who had dietary restrictions. My guests were all so impressed with the food! The venue even has a referral for cake, and we were not disappointed! Jennifer made planning my perfect day so easy, and she made my wedding day stress free and perfect. My wedding went so smoothly, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue! If I could do it all over again, I would still pick Bridges of Poplar Creek!

We had an amazing wedding here! We were married 09/03 and everything was perfect! The only thing we were bummed about was the staff kept taking our drinks when we would set them down to take pictures, but not their fault, they were keeping the space clean! They did amazing setting up our centerpieces and making everything turn out beautifully! Jennifer was so easy to work with!

We are so glad we chose Bridges of Poplar Creek for our wedding ceremony and reception and to have had Jennifer coordinate and supervise it! Jennifer responded timely to all of our questions and worked with our vendors. There was a 90% chance of rain on our wedding day, and Jennifer worked with us by the minute to keep us updated about the ceremony location. Fortunately, we were able to have our wedding ceremony outside, and the staff worked flawlessly to set it up. We were also able to take the golf carts around to get pictures on the gorgeous grounds.
Bridges of Poplar Creek took a lot of the stress out of wedding planning by providing an amazing cake vendor (included in the price), setting up our decorations, and providing all of the minor things we didn't think about. The food was also amazing; our guests are still complimenting it after almost 2 weeks. We couldn't have chosen a better venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
