    The best place for the most perfect wedding!

    We had our wedding at the beginning of October and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From planning, to check in, to the rehearsal, to the food, to the actual wedding, and every little detail in between, the ENTIRE Creekside team was so amazing and hardworking. Ashley was SO responsive and helpful with all that went in to planning our weekend, and from the moment we arrived, Justin was there to greet us and ask what he could do to make our wedding perfect. While we were there everyone was running around to prepare for the multiple events we held throughout the weekend and ensuring it all ran so smoothly. We received so many compliments on so many different aspects of the wedding- the beautiful backdrop during the ceremony, the food (especially the enchiladas), the cabins, and the service. We loved getting to have 50 of our favorite people stay right on site and spend the entire weekend with us. We could not recommend Creekside Cabins any more.

    As a bonus- we’ve stayed at the cabins a few times and eaten at the Tavern (outside of our wedding weekend) and both of those have been amazing each time we’ve stopped by.

    Creekside Cabins & Tavern's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure working with the two of you. Your wedding day will hold lasting memories with us, and you will forever be apart of the Creekside family.

    Perfect wedding weekend in the mountains!

    We had our wedding at Creekside Cabins and Tavern on 8/31/24, and everything came together beautifully! From the start, the offsite wedding coordinator was incredibly attentive to our needs, and the onsite coordinator over the weekend was equally fantastic. Both were professional, communicative, and ensured every detail was just right.

    What really impressed us was how prepared they were for the unexpected rain. Despite the weather, everything ran smoothly and turned out perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff—both at the bar and in the cabins—were professional and attentive. It was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

    Beautiful Views, helpful staff!

    We chose Creekside as our wedding venue and we are SO happy that we did! From our first impression on the venue tour to the day of the wedding, everyone working there was so pleasant and excited to help us have the wedding of our dreams. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The views of the Mogollon Rim are unbeatable. We opted to have our guests stay on property with us for the whole weekend. There are so many outdoor activities to do nearby, and it was such a nice escape from the Phoenix heat. All of our guests loved it! We had the rehearsal dinner out by the big fire pit near the cabins. The staff was very attentive, the food was fresh, and the drinks were cold all night. On our wedding day, we were blown away by how helpful everyone was. We did a lot of the details ourselves, which can be overwhelming, but we had the help of Justin and Josh which made it all flow together seamlessly. One of the best things about this venue, other than the view, is the food. It is the best food we have had at a wedding and all of our guests agreed. We served steak, salmon, and chicken. Each dish was perfectly prepared. Our entire experience getting married here was exactly what we wanted.

    Wonderful Wedding Weekend

    Our son had a wedding weekend here including accommodations, rehearsal and reception and it was amazing. The staff are friendly and professional. They went above & beyond to make sure everything went as planned. Their experience and advice were much appreciated. They provided the food and it was all delicious. I would recommend Creekside to anyone. You really can't beat this venue and it's beautiful views!!!!

    Wonderful wedding

    The only thing to keep in mind is that these are cabins and can be a little rustic but the beds were comfy, there was AC, and they’re clean!

    Beautiful Wedding In Nature

    My wife and I got married at Cabins at Creekside in June of 2023. The experience was amazing. we're so glad that we chose Creekside. From the beginning of our first tour, we loved Justin. He was so down to earth and friendly. He made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision.

    On the day of the wedding, things went perfectly! Janet helped us to coordinate the event and made sure that all the details were in place. We had a delicious smoked meats dinner that the chef knocked out of the park! The table settings were beautiful. The staff did an amazing job on the setup. Justin made sure that all of the guests were comfortable and taken care of. One more exceptional staff member who needs a shout out was Josh. He was so kind, friendly, accommodating and professional. Josh and Justin went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great experience. From giving tours, to taking pictures, to recommending local hikes, giving rides to elderly family members, providing a complimentary breakfast, telling the history of the cabins, ensuring warm hospitality, and so much more, these guys took great care of everyone. Justin, Josh and Janet were the dream team!

    Our guests stayed in cabins that were very cozy and had a real northwoods feel to them. My wife and I got to stay in the nicest camper I've ever been in! It was huge inside and felt like an apartment. The food at the tavern was delicious! We loved the pizza and burgers.

    One of the best aspects of the wedding was the setting. Nestled into a ponderosa forest, the venue had a peaceful and natural feeling. Our guests felt at relaxed, and were able to experience the unique climate of Cristopher Creek. Right before the wedding ceremony started, one of the most magical moments took place. As our guests were being seated, an elk with two calves emerged from the forest. Our guests were awestruck as this majestic creature walked through the wedding site just moments before the ceremony. The site was perfectly decorated enough to be classy, yet minimalistic. The staff set up a beautiful! My wife was so appreciative for Josh during the set up. He checked in and made sure that everything was taken care of perfectly, so that we could focus on enjoying the day. He has an eye for detail and did a wonderful job ensuring that everything was perfect.

    My personal favorite part of the wedding experience at Creekside was the people. The setting gave us a chance to connect deeply with our loved ones through hiking, bonfires, and enjoying God's beauty outside. It meant so much that Justin and Josh shared so deeply in our joy that weekend! I can't say enough great things about these two gentlemen. They treated us like family. I would highly recommend hosting a wedding at Creekside for the combination of caring staff, beautiful setting, great value and cozy accommodations.

    Special venue for a special day

    We loved having Creekside as our venue! You CANNOT beat the views here! The whole process was seamless and communication with all the staff was always clear and very timely. Special thanks to Justin and Joy for helping us with everything for our day. We especially loved how dog friendly the venue is. The signature drinks were delicious as well as the food (we did mimosas, margaritas, and street tacos). Could not have been better!

    Absolutely amazing!

    30 words aren’t enough to express how wonderful everyone was at Creekside Cabins. Our wedding was more than I could ever hoped for. Justin and his crew made our night magical. They were more than gracious. I highly recommend staying or atleast stopping for a bite to eat at their restaurant Creekside Tavern.

    Beautiful Venue and Excellent Service

    NY husband and I got married here in September. We had booked the venue pretty late, but their team helped us get everything sorted out with ease. The rehearsal and day of the venue was stress free thanks to Justin and his awesome team. The cabins are cozy and the venue is perfect for smaller weddings. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

    Best day of our lives!

    Everything about our wedding at Creekside could not have been more perfect! We rented out all of the cabins and had our closest friends and family spend the weekend with us. We started with our rehearsal dinner and had the Mexican food which was so delicious.

    Saturday was our wedding day and everything came together seamlessly. We did the bbq option for our dinner and the brisket was amazing. The bartenders made the best Palomas! The entire staff at Creekside made the whole experience stress free and executed everything that we asked for so perfectly. Driving out to the rim for our sunset pictures was by far the highlight of the weekend. It was absolutely breathtaking!

    Justin and Josh were an absolute dream team and took care of everything we needed right down to running around looking for our dog's bow tie when we forgot it in one of the cabins. No detail was too small for them not to care about. By the end of the weekend we felt like they were a part of the family and we cannot wait to come back and stay with them again!

    They are so helpful, caring, and fun! Went above and beyond for our wedding!

    Just had our wedding . Planned for a spring wedding and got a winter snowy wedding. Everyone at Cabins at Creekside made us all feel like their family! They helped with everything and made sure the snow was gone for the ceremony. We had a beautiful wedding with snow capped mountains in the background. The area was beautiful for our wedding and food and drinks were fantastic! My family can’t stop talking about it! Photos are from @bonmiller who was also fantastic!

    Perfect for our Simple Forest Wedding

    The rented cabins coming with the venue was the best part. We were able to cheaply provide housing for all of our wedding party and some family. The venue space backs up onto the national forest which was perfect for photos. All of the staff was extremely friendly and flexible. If you're looking for a highly organized venue space with the intention of bringing in many outside vendors, I would recommend hiring an outside wedding coordinator. For our small simple affair (30 people) the venue staff worked great, and the whole event was smooth and beautiful.
