My daughter got married here on 10/10/20 and I don’t have enough adjectives to tell you how wonderful this place is! The venue itself is stunning, from the moment you arrive on property you are surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful gardens. There are lights hung everywhere so in the evening the place seems to twinkle.
She chose the Enchanted Forest for her ceremony and it was magical! So pretty and serene. The reception was in the Carriage House Stable and it was wonderful! The attention to detail and the amazing service they provide are second to none!
You choose EVERYTHING involved in setting the scene for your day! It truly is a very inclusive venue. From the color of the napkins, to the table arrangements, to the backdrop behind the sweetheart table, to the chandeliers! You pick what you like! I’ve never seen anything like it! You even decide what kind of table number is on the tables. Who knew there were so many ways to write a number!
Of course I can’t forget the staff! From our first phone call until the last guest departed, they were there helping us. They are warm and friendly and excellent at what they do!
Lisa was our designer and she and her team helped us make all the choices that brought my daughters vision to life. It was so incredibly beautiful to see it all in real life on the wedding day! Better than I could have imagined!
Special shoutout to receptionist Brooke for always being cheerful and helpful whenever I called!
Lindsay was great at answering my millions of questions and never seemed anything but happy to help.
Annika was the most amazing wedding coordinator! She anticipated our every need. She was calm and made it all seem to happen effortlessly! We put ourselves into her hands and never regretted it! She knew where everyone was and where they needed to be. Holly was our other fabulous coordinator and between them both( and their amazing staff!) we were able to just relax and enjoy every moment.
The servers and bartenders were warm, friendly and helpful.
We got so many compliments from our guests about how perfectly everything went and how gorgeous it all looked!
One thing I would absolutely recommend is renting the house on property for the day. It’s an extra that you’ll never regret! It’s an actual home that the owners used to live in. It’s beautifully decorated and warm and open and a great place to have for the day of ! You even get a Housemother! Lina was ours for the day, she was wonderful! She put out breakfast, then lunch. She’s steamed everyone’s dresses, provided tissues when we got teary, and just in general made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.
We had hair and makeup done there. It was a fun to be surrounded by all the women who loved her !
Honestly I could go on and on! Cross Creek Ranch is like no other place. You don’t know what you’re missing if you don’t go and check them out! They made my daughter’s and my dreams come true! If we lived closed I’d be begging them to hire me!

Perfection
I attended the wedding of a friend and this venue and I just HAD to come brag on Valerie and everyone over at Cross Creek Ranch. From start to finish everything was perfect from the guests point of view. Valerie was an absolute gem who constantly made sure everyone had what they needed, but never seemed over bearing. Trying to convince my sister in law to get married here next!!

A Real Happily Ever After
Cross Creek was the only venue we visited. We knew immediately this was the place for my daughter and son in laws wedding. The beautiful grounds and all-inclusive experience sold us. Cross Creek Ranch truly does make dreams come true. Part of the magic is the people from the groundskeepers, security staff, Lindsay (Concierge), Margot and Lisa (Wedding Designers), sales staff, banquet staff, Brenda (House Mom), Gabriella (Cottage Mom), Valerie and Holly (Wedding Coordinators). All of Cross Creek carefully curated vendors.
When my daughter and I had our first meeting with Valerie, we both knew immediately that we were in great hands. She made us feel comfortable and smoothly guided us through the meeting. She let us know that we could contact her at any time. She was extremely organized and well prepared. Valerie communicated with us often over the two weeks leading up to the wedding. She had wonderful ideas and was open to our requests, and was meticulous in implementation of them. Our entire Bridal Party and the officiant felt well prepared during the rehearsal. She provided us with drinks, and since it was so warm, she brought in handheld fans. Since we had our rehearsal dinner at The French Country Inn, we choose to spend the night and get ready there in the morning. I casually mentioned that I would be running out early on the wedding morning since I needed a higher-protein breakfast. She pulled in at 7:00 am with a homemade egg croissant breakfast for us. I certainly did not expect it. It was absolutely delicious. Her kindness towards my girls and me melted my heart. I knew this was going to be a great day. She took such great care of not only the Bride and Groom, Bridal Party, but special care with parents and other guests. Every single person that attended the wedding said that it was the best wedding that they ever attended. We all felt that it was due to Valerie's leadership, staff, and beautiful venue. Her service was impeccable. I can't thank everyone enough for their warm hospitality.
