Sawmill Creek Resort Reviews

When my daughter approached me with a wedding idea at Saw Mill Creek Resort in Huron Ohio, I was not at all for it, mostly because I always dreamed of her wedding being at home. The venue was chosen because it was half way between for family - Toledo and Cleveland. They wanted their wedding ceremony on the lake. It was the most beautiful wedding. My daughter came down to the wedding site in a horse drawn carriage. From our clean rooms, to the hospitality room, to the rehearsal dinner at the pub and finally the reception. Lisa truly made sure my daughter and son in law had an amazing wedding and in addition a weekend full of family memories. Lisa will go above and beyond. If you forgot something Lisa will run and get it. One example, we did not have anything for our reserved signs to hang on for the ceremony, she ran out that morning to the store. I would highly recommend Saw Mill Creek for a Ohio destination wedding.

The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly helpful, the venue was so well kept up and absolutely gorgeous.

Our wedding reception was held in the Wilderness Hall at Sawmill (the big hall). We were so impressed with Sawmill. We had a 350 person wedding and everything was so perfect. With such a big wedding, you would expect at least some little things to go wrong, but honestly everything went so smoothly. Lisa was so easy to work with and quick to answer any and all of my questions. It was the perfect wedding!

Had our ceremony at their beautiful gazebo location on the lake. They provided free transport for guests from lodge to ceremony site. Organizer worked with us to assure ceremony, cocktail hour, reception & other details were addressed. Made our special day flow perfectly! Food was excellent & the locations (gazebo site, patio for cocktails, ballroom for reception) were beautiful. Venue worked very well with our other vendors (cake, flowers, DJ, etc). Highly recommend!

I loved working with Sawmill Creek. Rachelle was my coordinator and she was SOOO helpful! The beauty of the lake and the gorgeous green grass was just amazing. The rehearsal was a breeze, which I was nervous about because it was the morning of our wedding! (We got married on a Sunday) It all went really well and our rehearsal brunch was amazing! Definitely eat the brunch buffet there!!! Delicious. The entire Sawmill staff was really accommodating- even allowing me to leave a couple things at the front desk for my sister to pick up the day after the wedding! I have had more compliments about our location- it was just perfect, thanks in a large part to the Sawmill staff and especially Rachelle! She even plucked our rose petals for us for the flower girls! She really went above and beyond! Highly recommend !!!!!!!!

Great place for a reception. All of our guests stayed at the hotel and it was great for them to walk home at the end of the night. The food was amazing and we had a beautiful cocktail hour out on the patio. Rachelle Conrady, the catering director was exceptionally responsive, helping us out every step of the way. She even served as a day of coordinator for all of the reception details. I didn't have to worry about a thing!

The venue was beautiful, and Sawmill worked with us to be sure that everything went smoothly and looked great. Jen, who we worked with, was particularly helpful!

Staff of the entire resort did whatever they could to ensure the day ran smoothly. Their attention to detail was superb.

The wedding planners at Sawmill Creek are incredible. Jen and Marisa made sure that everything went smoothly on our wedding day. The were extremely professional, responsive and accommodating. I would recommend this location for anyone looking to create a mini-getaway for their guests. The wooded beach are is a breath-taking ceremony spot.

My reception was beautiful. The room was so spacious and elegant. We worked with Lisa Wood and she is so professional and organized we didn't have to worry about a thing. There was never a line at the bar, guests loved the food, and the cocktail hour was wonderful as well. We were also able to take gorgeous wedding pictures on the beach. Only things we would have done differently was figure out how to dim the lights sooner, and have the air running more (it got a little warm inside).

Sawmill Creek made our wedding day go PERFECTLY! They really catered to our exact needs and were very flexible with changes we needed to make right up until the morning of the wedding. We got TONS of comments from guests about how beautiful the location was and how the food at our reception was the best wedding food they'd ever had.

This place is beautiful and did an amazing job at my wedding. i was very happy.

The venue is BEAUTIFUL!!! I received nothing but compliments on the space. People we just blown away by how beautiful it was, and the convenience of being able to stay on site. There is TONS to do so people were never bored. My ceremony was out lake front and the day was gorgeous!! We had a lot of off the wall requests as far as our decorations went, and they were very welcoming and helpful with the set up for the most part. We had our rehearsal dinner at the beach and the staff down there were so nice and attentive it was a great time to relax a little bit before the big day. I had very few complaints, but some things to take into consideration. I'll admit that my wedding party was not as organized as we should have been and people were late to the rehearsal, but the wedding coordinator there, Lisa, was very obvious of her frustration. I was a little upset about her condescending tones she often had with my husband and I during our meetings, but when my wedding party is coming up to me and asking me what she was upset about got under my skin a little. She is super nice one second and the next she is talking to you like you are a child. I got to the point I was scared to ask her questions because I did not want to upset her. I found myself constantly apologizing to try and ease her frustration with us. At the reception however she was very nice, and attentive to me. The number of people originally attending our wedding was much larger than our final count due to some issued with our invitations, and she mentioned to us that the owner was extremely upset. However, we ran into him the next morning and he was so delightful showing us pictures he took on his camera and did not seem upset at all. We were told the room would be broken down for us the next day where we would have to load up and go, however, when we went in NOTHING was done. We spent hours in there taking everything down ourselves. Other than that it was an amazing experience overall. AMAZING FOOD!!!!

We were thrilled with our choice of Sawmill Creek Resort for our wedding ceremony and reception. We were able to have our dream outdoor wedding, with Lake Erie as our backdrop. We also wanted to make sure that our guests didn't have to leave one location to go to another for the reception. Overall, it was a great feeling to know that we didn't have to worry about the catering or set up for the reception. It was all handled professionally by the staff at Sawmill Creek.

This venue is absolutely beautiful. With everything bad that happened I still wouldn't choose anything else. Our biggest problem with the place was the communication with the person that was assigned to help with our wedding. He was always willing to sit down and talk with us, but he would still get things wrong (color of napkins, number at head table, seating chart, etc.).
