The best wedding venue in Alabama!

Otter creek is so picture perfect! The on site lodging for wedding party and family is amazing. Emily could not have been easier to work with. We had a bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner there as well. The pool and fishing/clay shooting was so fun. Everything g about their venue was perfect. I will say, however that the wedding coordinator that they prefer was not great. Rebecca from designs by Rebecca was distant, unorganized and not helpful at all.

Absolutely incredible!

Otter Creek is the absolutely dream venue! Frank and Jane go above and beyond to make all of their couples feel special, loved, and seen. One of my favorite parts was that the entire wedding party was able to stay together at the farm. The groomsmen and my husband stayed at the stables and the girls stayed at the Hill Cottage. Being able to have everyone in the same place for the rehearsal dinner, night before the wedding, and day of was an absolute blast and made our wedding day so relaxed and fun! Jane put so much attention to detail in every part of both places. It truly felt like a home away from home the entire weekend! Plus, we were delivered a delicious breakfast with coffee the morning of the big day!

The farm itself is undoubtably gorgeous. Our wedding was in May and there was so much greenery and the flowers were blooming! It was so beautiful! Apart from the landscaping, the facilitates are very well maintained. The smallest details were clearly given so much thought. We have had so many of our guests compliment how beautiful it was!

It rained during the reception, but the layout of the farm kept us from missing a beat. It was the most epic party of our lives! You absolutely want your wedding at Otter Creek!

Best venue, Best people

Such a beautiful venue with special people to help you prepare for your wedding! The venue and amenities are obviously spectacular, but it’s the owners (Jane and Frank) and wedding planner (Rebecca) that make this venue such a gem. They get to know their brides/grooms and their families and want to make your day special, no matter what circumstances might arise. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place for my husband and me to say “I do” and celebrate with family and friends. Choose Otter Creek; you won’t be disappointed!

The Otter Creek experience is phenomenal!

Otter Creek Farmstead and Distillery is a gorgeous venue. I fell in love with it at first glance as did my husband, daughter, and son-in-love! The facilities are spectacular and maintained with excellence. The guest entrance to the ceremony site sets a stunning stage with the architectural beauty of the buildings and patios and the picturesque landscape. The Grand Room with the adjacent patio is just absolute perfection! All the furnishings are equally lovely and it all comes together with such a warm vibe. The adjacent courtyard and pavilion are also well done and provide so many options for space. We had approximately 280 guests and it never felt crowded.

Otter Creek is truly amazing. Even more amazing are the owners, Jane and Frank Brown. They instantly welcomed us, made us feel at home, and patiently answered all our questions. The Browns and their staff strive for perfection and they worked to make my daughter’s wedding dreams a reality. They worked seamlessly with all our vendors and our weekend was calm and stress free. You will not find better hosts than Jane and Frank Brown. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel special.

The wedding party stayed in the Hill Cottage and Stable Residence. These overnight lodging areas are beautifully appointed and were spotless. Breakfast was served at each residence in beautiful baskets and was just so delicious. It was awesome to have everyone together in one place and all enjoyed the fire pit and game room after the rehearsal dinner.

Weddings at Otter Creek are spectacular! Our family and our guests have such fantastic wedding memories. I am so happy our family chose an Otter Creek wedding!

Best venue ever!

Otter Creek is so wonderful that words truly can not explain!! Frank and Jane will literally go out of their way to make sure you have a perfect day! They are ALWAYS there and willing to help in anyway that they can. The week of my wedding was very stressful, but Jane was there to help in every way and went above and beyond to make sure there would be nothing to worry about or be stressed about. I think my favorite memory was right before I walked down the aisle... I turned around to smile at Frank and Jane and as I turned around I saw a tear roll down Janes face. I am so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to spend the best day of my life with Frank and Jane at their BEAUTIFUL venue!!
