The perfect venue for the perfect wedding!

If it wasn't for CCR and their staff, I would've given up halfway through wedding planning and eloped.

You'd think using an all-inclusive venue would mean sacrificing personal style and wants, but that couldn't be further from the truth with Cross Creek! I felt heard throughout the whole wedding planning process, and all of our wants/expectations were met from the day we booked the venue to the day we said "I Do" and every day in between. I'm not exaggerating!

The venue is affordable, beautiful, accommodating, and everything I needed for the wedding of my dreams. I'd recommend them to anyone in the area!

Cross Creek Wedding of Our Dreams!

We cannot say enough good things about Cross Creek Ranch. I went into wedding planning knowing almost nothing and definitely wasn’t the kind of bride who had a clear vision or Pinterest board mapped out. From day one, Cross Creek made the entire process feel approachable, organized, and honestly enjoyable.

Their planning and design teams are incredible. They have so many resources to help you discover your style and wedding vibe, and they truly manage the process end to end. Everything stayed on schedule, nothing felt overwhelming, and we always felt supported and taken care of.

The day of coordinators were exceptional. They were incredibly attentive, kept everything moving smoothly, and made us feel like the most important people in the world that day. They were calm, reassuring, and thoughtful in every moment. At one point, they even helped one of our wedding guests who broke her shoe. The way they took care of not just us, but our guests as well, really says everything about their team.

Their preferred vendors are also top notch. We loved every single one. The photographer, makeup artist, transportation company, DJ, and caterer were all amazing. We would absolutely use them again for future special occasions.

Most importantly, our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. It genuinely exceeded our expectations. The Cross Creek team made sure we actually got to enjoy our day together and built in moments for us to pause, soak it all in, eat our food, and enjoy our drinks.

Weeks later, our friends and family are still buzzing about our wedding and saying how much they want to relive it. That alone says everything.

It was an absolutely beautiful day, and it is all thanks to Cross Creek Ranch. We will be forever grateful for the experience they gave us.

Beautiful all-inclusive venue

Everyone at Cross Creek did a wonderful job of making our wedding day beautiful 🥰 the planning was easy, which was the idea with an all-inclusive venue, and our wedding day was completely stress free. I highly recommend booking here if you are considering venues for your wedding.

Fall Wedding

Cross Creek made our wedding dreams come true! They are so helpful, and organized when it comes time to plan. The detail meetings were always so informative. They can make any aesthetic or theme come to life. They took most of the wedding planning stress off us (I say most bc its a wedding LOL). They thought of all the details so I didnt have to. All we had to do day of was show up and get married! They took over the rest. The day went so smoothly because of Holly and her team! Any questions or comments she was on top of it! Helping us, bridal party & our families! They were all so kind, and attentive! The property is stunning, and theres no one spot there you cant take a good picture. I would recommend cross creek to just about anyone!

Absolutely Phenomenal!!!

Cross Creek Ranch was the most perfect wedding venue we could have possibly hoped for! As a couple who both work full time and live about three hours away, the coordinators at Cross Creek made sure we were kept in the loop about decisions that needed to be made and were there to guide us through every step of the planning process. The food from the catering company they work with was delicious, and they were flexible with our requests. The decor they provided was stunning and exactly matched our vision, and design coordinator Lisa was a huge part of that -- she brought our Pinterest board to life! The day-of coordinators Jenn and Val were absolutely phenomenal, and made sure our day was truly special. Every little detail was thought of, and the venue itself is obviously gorgeous! Absolutely would recommend coming here if you want top-tier customer service and attention to detail. Thank you!

Taylor and Max Wedding was PERFECT!

Holly and her team did a great job from start to finish. They supported our needs and quickly answered any questions we had while planning event from Michigan. Day of wedding was so smooth, and everything was taken care of. Bride and Groom loved event, and we were told it was the best wedding our friends had attended in years! Cannot say enough about how much everyone loved Holly and her attention to every detail. Event was 100/100!

Couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our big day!


From start to finish, our wedding at Cross Creek Ranch was nothing short of perfect! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what truly made the night unforgettable was the incredible staff. Every single person—from the coordinators to the décor team, catering staff, and reception crew—went above and beyond to make sure our night was seamless and magical.

One of the things we appreciated the most was how stress-free the entire experience was for us. All of our options were laid out so clearly, and we were given such a wide variety of choices for décor and backdrops. At the same time, we had the freedom to add our own personal touches, and the venue was fantastic about working with us on anything we wanted to implement ourselves. Everything was so well-organized, especially when it came to working with vendors. Everyone communicated and collaborated perfectly, making the entire process smooth and effortless.

A special shoutout to Valerie, who was an absolute angel throughout the night! She made sure that both Tyler and I were taken care of, ensuring we got all of our photos without ever making us feel rushed. She kept everything running smoothly while still allowing us to truly enjoy each moment. Her attentiveness and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are beyond grateful for her dedication.

The venue itself is breathtaking, but I have to mention how amazing the getting-ready spaces were—especially for the bride! The bridal suite was more than I could have asked for, with plenty of space for both large and small bridal parties. My bridesmaids and I had such a wonderful time getting ready that morning, and it was the perfect space to relax, enjoy the moment, and prepare for the big day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening, and we will absolutely be recommending Cross Creek Ranch to all of our family and friends. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that is beautiful, well-organized, and staffed by the most wonderful people, look no further. Thank you again to everyone who made our special day absolutely perfect!

Loved working with Cross Creek

Cross Creek Ranch delivered more than we even knew we were getting when we signed our contract with them - from the initial tour through planning and the day of, the whole staff was very responsive, accommodating, and so enthusiastic (in a lovely and not overbearing way!). Not to mention that we planned our whole wedding remotely from CT and TX! Holly, the general manager, was so great on our tour day with helping us decide which venue was best for our guest count/ideas and on the day after our wedding as we picked up leftover items. Lisa did a phenomenal job with design, and this is coming from someone who felt a little overwhelmed/unsure on vision for the wedding. She took what ideas we did have and fleshed them out beautifully. (Not to mention she also saw my look of being a bit out of sync with our moms on the design day and advocated for my design choices along with my husband - thank you!). Haley did an awesome job at keeping us in the loop throughout the planning process and answered all of our questions/coordinated with vendors in a timely manner, even when there was an unexpected change in the cake vendor. Alicia and Annika were our day of coordinators and are so, so lovely. They made us feel cared for, touched base with us on any needed changes on the day of the wedding, and handled all of the little details with an unbelievable amount of ease. They even took a photo for our photo guest book and left a sweet message - we're so happy we had them. The vendors - Alessi Bakery, Alta Fleura, Vesh catering - were all great (our guests commented multiple times on the quality of food and cake!). You can tell CCR loves what they do and they do a fantastic job with it.

Winter Wedding at the Carriage House!

Our wedding on January 5th at The Carriage House was truly a dream come true, all thanks to Cross Creek Ranch and their incredible team. From start to finish, our experience was flawless, even as we navigated planning from out of town and facing two hurricanes in one month. We originally booked our wedding for January 2025 in August of 2023 while living outside the Tampa area, but after moving to Tampa in July of 2024, the team made our transition seamless.

Our event liaison, Haley, was always available to answer questions with kindness and patience. Our lead coordinator, Klaudia, ensured that everything on our wedding day ran smoothly, making the final preparations stress-free. Our assistant coordinator, Valerie, was incredibly supportive throughout the day, continuously making my husband and me feel special. Bria, our house mom, created a warm and welcoming environment while we got ready, and my bridal assistant, Amber, was so attentive and reassuring in moments when I felt overwhelmed.

The attention to detail extended to every aspect of our wedding. Our florist, Alta, crafted the most breathtaking bouquets and boutonnières, putting so much heart into her work. Lisa, our design lead, guided us effortlessly through the decor selection process, offering a wide range of options to fit any style or vision.

The venue itself was absolutely stunning—pristine, well-maintained, and simply magical. The team was prepared for any weather scenario, ensuring a perfect day regardless of conditions. Our reception space was elegant, and the cocktail hour felt like a scene from a movie. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was.

To top off our incredible experience, my husband and I stayed on the property in their charming “Little House” for our honeymoon night. It was the perfect ending to our celebration, allowing us to enjoy our sparkler exit and retreat to a cozy, romantic space right on-site.

The women at Cross Creek Ranch are truly exceptional. They are dedicated to supporting, uplifting, and celebrating their couples, making the entire planning process and wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. If you are looking for a wedding venue that will exceed your expectations in every way, look no further—Cross Creek Ranch is simply the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The team at Cross Creek Ranch is so amazing- every time I book a wedding there I always look forward to working with them! They bend over backwards to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly, and the bridal party is happy. Plus, it's such a gorgeous place! Definitely a photographer's dream to photograph there.

Celebrations of Tampa Bay Celebrations of Tampa Bay Wedding Videographers

Although there are many Farm Venues in Tampa Bay Area, none really match the cleanliness, manicured landscaping, and detail of Cross Creek Ranch. Having shot several wedidngs there, I can tell you it is excellent if you want great wedding photography & video, such a variety of natural backgrounds. The hand-on care they give the brides is 5-star! You will have a excellent Country atmosphere, yet without the dust and dirt of many country/farm wedding venues.
