The Perfect Wedding Day at Up the Creek Farms

Getting married at Up the Creek Farms in Malabar, FL was truly the best decision we could have made and hands down the best day of my life. From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond in every possible way.

From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless. The team at Up the Creek Farms was incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. They made what can be a stressful process feel easy and exciting, and I always felt supported and understood.

When I walked in on our wedding day and saw the cocktail hour setup and reception space for the first time, I was completely blown away. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, they brought my vision to life in ways I didn’t even know were possible. Every detail was perfect.

On the day of the wedding, the team handled absolutely everything. There was not a single moment where I was looking around wondering what was next or if something needed to be done, they had it all covered from start to finish. Because of that, both my family and I were able to truly relax, be fully present, and soak in every moment of the day.

I also want to give a very special thank you to the incredible individuals who made our day so perfect: Jess, who led the planning and coordinating so seamlessly, along with Kiryn, Clare, and Brittany, who were all incredibly involved and supportive throughout the entire process. Tammy, who handled all of the catering, absolutely knocked it out of the park, and Lauren, who created the most stunning floral designs that tied everything together beautifully. Each of them played such an important role in making our wedding day unforgettable.

I truly don’t even know how to put into words how thankful I am for how exceptional this team is at what they do. I would recommend Up the Creek Farms without hesitation to anyone looking for a venue that will exceed expectations and allow you to fully enjoy your wedding day. If you’re considering getting married here... do it! You will not regret it.

We haven't gotten our official pics and videos back yet but here are some behind the scenes sneak peaks :)

Loved working with them

Up the Creek was absolutely phenomenal to work with! They were incredibly responsive and worked closely with me to plan and design the wedding of my dreams.

Incredible Wedding Experience

Getting married at Up the Creek Farms was the best decision we made! With less than three months to plan and neither of us living locally, my husband and I weren’t sure how everything would come together. But Clare, Jess, Brittany, and the entire team at Up the Creek made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we knew we had found our venue. The serene and beautiful space, combined with the warmth and professionalism of the staff, immediately made us feel at ease. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and they were always available to answer our questions and accommodate our long-distance planning needs.

Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more. They took care of everything—attending to us and our guests, making sure every need was met, and ensuring that the day flowed smoothly. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff was.

Overall, Up the Creek Farms made our wedding experience unforgettable. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for us helped make it a day we’ll never forget!

Amazing place to have your special day!

Up the Creek Farms...I don't even know where to start! From the first email to inquire about our wedding, we just had this special feeling about it. We met Clare to give us a tour of the property and we immediately fell in love. We knew it was "the location" before we even finished touring. All of the girls are absolutely amazing! Their communication is top notch, will make sure you are involved with every step and planning detail and their vendors are fantastic! Their DJ, Blue Skies Entertainment, is awesome and kept the dancing floor moving all night. The food and desserts were amazing, the florals were gorgeous and all the coordinators were just incredible. We cannot recommend Up the Creek enough! Thank you for making our wedding day and all of our wedding planning so easy and stress free!
