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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What a Venue!!!! Style, Beauty, Comfort, Professionalism and Flare, Up the Creek Farms is the quintessential event venue. The charm, grace and respect that Jessica and Tim exudes are above all the rest.
