Very first wedding at the Crawford

I am honored to have been the very first wedding at the Crawford! My fiancé and I had been looking for an outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception area for awhile and felt defeated. I still don’t know how I found this venue, but I am so so happy that I did! The space is beyond stunning and our guests were truly in awe. It’s a blank slate to do whatever colors and decor you choose with the most modern and elegant feel I’ve seen from a venue so far. Oliver took care of us from the start! He was there for every phone call, question, and text, big or small! He helped connect me to vendors, set up seating charts, and always asked questions about things I didn’t think of. We had the option to bring in our own vendors and everyone worked together so well on the day of. For me, Anna’s, the event manager’s service was the icing on the cake. She is your hype woman when you need her, your train fluffer, and point of contact when you need her on the wedding night. She was so responsive on my wedding and always made sure to check in throughout the night. The bartenders were so so fun and really got to know our guests and what they liked. We cannot thank the Crawford enough for hosting our wedding and would recommend it to anyone!

Beautiful and versatile wedding venue

We had an amazing experience with The Crawford for our early September wedding. The layout of the venue is incredibly versatile, allowing us to customize each space exactly as we envisioned. We chose to spend the entire day on-site - including getting ready - which made everything feel seamless.

The bridal suite was perfect for hair, makeup, and beautiful pre-ceremony photos. We also loved using the billiards room as an additional getting-ready space and for a variety of fun photo moments. The chapel was another stunning spot for portraits, and we later used it as the room for our food stations. Our ceremony took place on the patio, and we used the ballroom for both cocktail hour and the reception. We were even able to create a cute lounge area using The Crawford’s furniture, which worked out perfectly.

The venue itself is truly gorgeous and spacious, and the team made the experience even better. Sarah was incredibly responsive, helpful, flexible, and genuinely fun to work with throughout the entire planning process - we appreciated her so much!

Also, the location is nearby a ton of hotel options, and the venue has a large parking lot!

Love love love the crawford

The Crawford was the perfect backdrop to our deco wedding. The whole venue is yours for the night. It has multiple rooms so if someone doesn't want to dance, they can go sit in the billiards room or play pool. With 180 guests, everyone was seated comfortably for both our ceremony and reception, and their team flipped the room FAST. Catie's calm and caring nature made our wedding day a breeze! She coordinated our rehearsal time and let us drop off some decorations a couple days before the wedding, crossing off a big chore the morning of our wedding. The bartenders were a big hit with our group, too! With the amount of people we had, we were able to set up a mobile bar outside for guests hanging on the patio on our perfect September evening. HIGHLY recommend booking The Crawford for your event!! Rob and Ali 9.5.25
