Ashley Tussing(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 We couldn't be happier with how everything turned our for our wedding at Bridges of Poplar Creek in October 2021! Jennifer is amazing to work with; she was very kind and quick to get back to us about any questions or concerns, and was extremely accommodating. She made the process stress free and we did not worry about the venue or food at all through out the planning process. The setting is beautiful indoors and out, and we were able to get amazing pictures. Our guests have still been raving about how good all of the food was! Reviewed on 17-11-2021

As the mother of the bride, I found Jennifer and her staff to be very accommodating and helpful during the entire planning of the wedding ceremony and the reception. The bride and groom reside in Hawaii so they were mostly unable to participate in person. It was drizzling during the ceremony but the bride still wanted it held outside. The staff worked with us to accommodate those who braved the mist and those who wanted to remain indoors so all would be able to view it. I would highly recommend this venue. Reviewed on 08-10-2021
Shannon McElmeel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2021 I cannot even thank Jennifer enough. She has been INCREDIBLE and extremely accommodating. She’s also very easy to talk to and promptly responded to every single one of my emails. By choice I postponed my wedding twice and Jennifer made the changes very smooth. She remembered many little details that I mentioned about my wedding even though she’s currently working with so many other brides. I’ve absolutely loved working with Jennifer and HIGHLY recommend booking Bridges of Poplar Creek. Reviewed on 06-09-2021

The Willow trees and curved bridges were a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos. As to the indoor reception, we were pleasantly surprised how hot and flavorful the dinner meal was. The servers were professional and very helpful. The bartenders were courteous and made excellent drinks. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you Bridges staff! You helped make the evening special. Reviewed on 11-08-2021

We were so excited to have our wedding ceremony and reception here. Unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans.I will say this. Jennifer was exceptional from the beginning. She gets an A+ from us in terms of communication. He was in correspondence with us immediately after we toured the venue. She allowed us to come in a few different times to take measurements of the space and discuss decorations.As soon as she knew information regarding restrictions on large gatherings, she called my cell and we discussed options. She gave us different ideas and said that there were willing to work with us whatever option we chose. We chose to reschedule our wedding for 2021.A lot has happened in the last year. Jennifer called me last week again to discuss options. She said that we could go ahead and continue with our scheduled event, we could change the event to be less formal if we chose, or we could cancel and would be refunded our original deposit.Communication is huge for me. I felt like they were willing to work with our needs and budget. I love that Jennifer kept in contact with us and ultimately met our needs. Even though we will not be able to have our event here, I highly recommend! Reviewed on 17-07-2021

Brianna Piper(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2020 We cannot say enough nice things about Bridges of Poplar Creek and the team working there - especially Jennifer! As a couple with an originally planned 2020 wedding, this year went from happy and exciting to sad and extremely stressful, but Jennifer was a saving grace throughout it all. She is incredibly responsive and communicative and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. When we originally decided to move our date in the early days of the pandemic, she was so flexible and easy to work with, and when the continuing COVID crisis meant our plans would continue to change, she remained as kind and quick to respond as ever. We had a great experience working with her and would recommend this venue to other couples looking for a kind and communicative vendor with a beautiful outdoor ceremony location and indoor reception space (the new wood floors are beautiful!)

Megan Bellanger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 With everything going on with COVID-19, my fiance and I were super nervous about what would happen if we postponed our wedding or even if we had it with a smaller crowd. We had friends tell us that for their wedding at a different venue, they were still going to be charged the minimum amount even if there were only 50 people, I was so nervous about what was going to happen but then we got the call. Jennifer called us from Brides of Poplar Creek and assured us that they understood what was going on and that they would do whatever they could to accommodate us with what we decided to do. They allowed us to maintain our date for 2020 but then also offered to hold a date (at no cost) for 2021! My fiance and I hit the lotto with this place. Jennifer is up to date on the guidelines they are mandated to follow and continued to support us as we took our time deciding what we were going to do. We have finally decided to move our date and Jennifer drew up the new contract and got it to us in no time. Honestly, she made it so much easier for us to make this decision because it definitely was not easy. If you have not seen this venue in person, you need to go check it out. I am very picky and was looking for a place that did not have carpet. If you look at their old photos you see what the upstairs used to look like, it was beautiful but it had carpet. I was going to not even check out this venue but my mom saw that they updated their floors and now it is wood flooring. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Having both inside and outside ceremony options, you could not ask for a better place. I cannot wait to continue working with Jennifer and her crew as the countdown to our new wedding date continues. I will post a new review after our wedding happens next September.CHECK OUT BRIDGES OF POPLAR CREEK, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Reviewed on 04-07-2020

Ryan Schuster(groomsman)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2019 I'm a typical guy and I don't normally do stuff like this, but with the experience I had, I felt like I was compelled to. I was one of the groomsman and I admit that I was kind of nervous. From the moment I walked into the outdoor area I was warmly greeted and I instantly felt more comfortable. One of the buttons on the grooms suit fell off and Jennifer made sure that it was sewn on. I had some free time and I walked around. Let me tell you, this outdoor area was impeccable. They even had coy fish in the pond! The ceremony went by with ease. Soon after we all were invited upstairs for the reception. I'd consider myself an amateur foodie and the meal that I had was the best I've EVER had for a wedding! I can't tell you how mouthwatering it was. The room was beautifully decorated and lit. My water was always being filled and my dirty dishes were instantly cleaned away. The bartenders were amusing and even introduced me to a new cocktail. Would I ever consider having my wedding and or reception at The Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club? You bet! Would you be satisfied by having your wedding and or reception here as well?

Michelle Foerster(maid of honor)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2019 We had my sister’s wedding here July 20th, 2019. It was an outside ceremony and was absolutely beautiful . Their garden area for the ceremony was gorgeous with trees and flowers and a creek pond. As all weddings do, we ran into some problems such as it began to storm right before the ceremony and all the staff was so accommodating to make sure that my sister still got to have her dream wedding outside and after the storm passed quickly they cleaned up all the chairs like it had never happened . We also forgot the flower petals for the flower girl and Jennifer the wedding coordinator was beyond a goddess and helped us solve that problem as well we had nothing to worry about because Jennifer and the staff did everything to make this day perfect for my sister. There are two rooms for the bridesmaids to get ready as well and both were very nice there were bottles of champagne fruit and cheese platters waiting when we got there to get ready . The food was amazing from the meatball appetizers to the 8oz. Filets (which they graciously accommodated me by cooking mine well done- because I’m that person lol) to the late night pizza. The service was excellent. The bartenders were friendly and quick & did a great job & made excellent drinks. The wedding photos that we took on the golf course for the bridal party look like a vogue magazine photo shoot because it is just so naturally beautiful - the greenery, plants, flowers & on a bridge over water. The venue was easy to find for out of town guests being close to highway and 2-3 hotels, I hop & chilis, less than 5 minutes away. Even after the wedding there was a large staff that helped us collect all sign boards, extra wedding favors, gifts, etc and packed it all up safely to pickup the next day. I couldn’t say that there is anything that could’ve done better. My sister is still glowing to this day with happiness.

Rachel Bomba(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 My husband and I had our ceremony and reception here in October 2017. The venue is beautiful and there is an amazing outdoor ceremony space. Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating through our entire wedding planning process. Bridges of Poplar Creek is also very accommodating with dietary restrictions, which was very important for our wedding as we had many guests with food allergies. The food at our reception was delicious and many of our guests commented on how good the food was. The only reason I am not giving Bridges of Poplar Creek 5 stars is because the staff threw our cake topper away after they cut the cake. Fortunately, my maid of honor noticed that we did not have the cake topper and demanded that the staff dig through the garbage to find it. We did get it back, but I was upset that it happened in the first place. If you get married here, definitely assign someone to keep track of your cake topper, cake cutting set and toasting flutes! Otherwise, you might not get them back. I understand that mistakes happen, but the cake topper is typically a keepsake and the staff should have asked if we wanted it before making a decision on their own to throw it away. My husband and I had our cake topper custom designed and had no intention of throwing it away. Other than the cake topper incident, our wedding was great and we would still recommend Bridges of Poplar Creek! Reviewed on 29-10-2017

Jennifer, went above and beyond to ensure I had the wedding of my dreams. From day one she made me so comfortable, at ease, and worry-free about my special day. Jennifer made sure we had planned both an outdoor wedding as well as indoor back up plan in case of unfavorable weather. Even as the wedding day was fast approaching Jennifer made anything and everything, no matter how difficult or extravagant a change, possible. As far as the food, service, atmosphere along with the entertainment, I would give it all a 5-star rating. I was actually so impressed with this venue that I forwarded and recommended it to three of my friends that were soon to be married within the next year. Hands down the most impressive, elegant and wonderful venue in the northwest suburbs. Without Jennifer my big day would not have been possible. Reviewed on 27-10-2017

From the start Jennifer made everything so easy. She was great to work with, she was flexible, there to answer any questions we had and really helped us make our day perfect! The venue is beautiful, unfortunately we had some bad weather and couldn't use the outside area for cocktail hour but that didn't matter. The room was beautiful and just how we imagined it would look! The food tasted great, the staff was wonderful, we can't say enough about how great this venue is!

Katilyn Ostenson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 I had my wedding here September 2017. Everyone talks about weddings being so stressful to plan. I did not feel like that and I think it has to do with booking it here. I did not have to worry about a thing. I brought all the stuff I wanted for the wedding day a week before and it was all set up the day of. One thing I loved was the waiters brought in food and champagne to the bridal suit without asking!

Brynn Shea(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2017 Jennifer is amazing. Planning a wedding is overwhelming and she was there every step of the way. We didn't want a cookie cutter reception venue and we stumbled upon this golf course. We bothered her for a few tastings and many different add-ons to our special day. She was courteous and flexible to make the requests possible. We asked for a special red wine and she worked with their vendors to find it. We were able to bring in special Italian pastries (from local licensed bakeries) that helped make it a special day. Pictures were taken around the golf course and at the stunning gazebo. We couldn't have had better weather for our outdoor cocktail hour. This place is a hidden gem. Food is amazing! People are still talking about the food. Book them. You will not regret it.

Alaina Kelly(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2017 We are so glad we chose Bridges of Poplar Creek for our wedding ceremony and reception and to have had Jennifer coordinate and supervise it! Jennifer responded timely to all of our questions and worked with our vendors. There was a 90% chance of rain on our wedding day, and Jennifer worked with us by the minute to keep us updated about the ceremony location. Fortunately, we were able to have our wedding ceremony outside, and the staff worked flawlessly to set it up. We were also able to take the golf carts around to get pictures on the gorgeous grounds. Bridges of Poplar Creek took a lot of the stress out of wedding planning by providing an amazing cake vendor (included in the price), setting up our decorations, and providing all of the minor things we didn't think about. The food was also amazing; our guests are still complimenting it after almost 2 weeks. We couldn't have chosen a better venue! Reviewed on 01-06-2017
Felicia J.(wedding party)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2018 I attended a wedding here this past weekend, and I had a horrible experience. At first, I was optimistic because the environment was beautiful. Unfortunately, the food and service were poor. For example, the serving portions were very small and the vegetables were under cooked. I was the only vegan at the table, and I had to ask for my plate several minutes after everyone else was served. The staff seemed to have forgotten about me. Also, the waitress was abrupt when asking me whether my child wanted the kids meal or not. All I saw was the waitress's back after my daughter told me she wanted the kids meal. Soon after toasting the bride and groom, the servers came to take away the champagne glasses before we were finished drinking. In fact, my cousin lifted up her glass for a toast and the waitress grabbed the glass out of her hand. My cousin told her \" I am not done with my drink.\" and the waitress responded \" Well, you are now!\" in a mean tone. Then, after dessert, all the bottles of wine, even full bottles, were spirited away from the tables. Also, the waitress tried to confiscate some gluten free prepackaged cupcakes I brought in for my sisters. I guess you need to guard any food or drink with your life for fear that it will be taken away from you. In short, I do not recommend this place. Reviewed on 21-11-2016

Matthew Kelly(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2016 My wife and I had our wedding at Bridges of Poplar Creek in June of 2016 and we both agree it was the best day of our lives. This was in no small part due to the support staff at Bridges of Poplar Creek and the beautiful venue they support. Jennifer and Brian were courteous and professional from the first moment we met them. My wife and I had a great feeling about the venue and staff right away, and Jennifer in particular was amazing to work with. She was attentive and interested in making sure our special day was truly amazing. The planning process was very smooth, the staff was very organized and thorough. Every call, meeting, and rehearsal showed how professional the staff at Bridges is. On the day of the wedding, Jennifer and Brian bent over backwards to ensure my wife and I had the perfect day. Jennifer in particular was attentive to our needs and after all was said and done, we feel she played a huge role in the success of our day. The rest of the staff at Bridges played a huge role, from the kitchen, wait, and bar staff. When my wife and I will think back on our wedding day, we will not only remember the ceremony and reception, but those who helped us in making the day a huge success. Bridges of Poplar Creek made sure every need was met and it felt like our big day was also their big day too.

Lynne C(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-12-2017 I attended a wedding at Bridges of Poplar Creek on Saturday October 1st. The venue was beautiful. The food, not only wonderful but was hot when served. Many weddings/events that you attend you witness picked over plates by the guests, not here. But what stood out more than the venue and the food was the staff. Upon arriving for the reception cocktail hour, my husband and I experienced a slight confusion when the table our place card had us assigned to, was full. I spoke to a young lady and asked for assistance. In short order, the wedding planner and venue representative discovered that the place card simply had the wrong table number on it and helped us find the correct table. Sometime later, when dinner was being served, that young lady from earlier passed by me and said that she was so happy to see that I had found my table. And upon seeing the smiles and laughter of the entire table, also commented on what a great table it was. She wished me a wonderful evening and was off to finish what she was doing. I was thoroughly impressed that this young lady, with everything going on during a reception, not only remembered our very brief interaction from earlier, but that she personally followed up with me. Customer service is often what sets apart a good venue from one that is lacking. My experience at Bridges of Poplar Creek tells me that you can rest assured that you and your guests will experience impeccable customer service and have a wonderful event! Reviewed on 27-10-2016

My husband and I couldn’t decide which filling we liked better, so they did half the cake with one filling and half with the other at no extra fee (cake is included with booking poplar creek, they’re not just a prefered vendor). \r\rA few tips:\r\r1. Certain days/time of the year may be better if you cannot afford the minimum. Just ask if there’s anything they can do. Our wedding was on a Sunday and that was much better for our budget than a Friday.\r\r2. The one thing I wish I had done differently is ask them to set aside two of each appetizer so my husband and I could have tried all of them since we were late to cocktail hour. Reviewed on 02-02-2016

Cali Swan(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2015 I chose PC for my ceremony because it is simply stunning. It was everything I had dreamed of for a ceremony location. I chose to have my reception elsewhere because I did not like the feel of the banquet room. After booking my ceremony, I immediately received a call asking why I didn't book my reception there also. I felt slightly intimidated and pressured by that call. I requested to move my ceremony 30 minutes later but was told no, because that may impinge on their time for their next wedding (someone who would book ceremony and rehearsal.. nothing had been booked yet) even though my ceremony only lasted 30 min. They supplied a \"wedding coordinator\" who swore in front of our Pastor and truthfully caused more chaos than \"coordination\". He confused the wedding party on when they should walk out and even told me to walk out before my song started. Luckily I did not listen. He was asked to help prep the table under the gazebo with props we needed for our ceremony and forgot to do so. I noticed as I was standing up front in front of everyone, which required me to spend my time thinking of how to fix this casually instead of listening to our Pastor. They supplied a rain backup plan which held 150 people when we had 200 guests. As we were leaving, they voiced their frustration to my parents that we did not alert them ahead of time that guests would be visiting their bar. Instead of praising us for bringing $$ to their bar, they complained. Since they only had one bartender. Sorry, but they had two weddings scheduled that day.. you'd think they would know how to staff themselves accordingly. All our other vendors made us feel like a King and Queen. If it weren't for the beautiful ceremony site, I would've taken my $$$ elsewhere. Reviewed on 22-09-2015

From the day we first went to look at Poplar Creek, I fell in love and could not have imagined having my wedding anywhere else. Jennifer was absolutely fantastic to work with. She really helps to put your vision into a reality. She has a lot of experience coordinating wedding and provides a lot of helpful advice along the way. The outdoor space is breathtaking. The gazebo provides the perfect backdrop for pictures and sets the tone for the ceremony. Cocktail hour was held immediately after the ceremony. The space is transformed in a matter of minutes and appetizers and drinks start flowing out. The appetizers were incredible. We chose the cozy shrimp roll, crab stuffed cucumber, chicken lady’s purse, and mini beef wellington all of which our guests raved about. During cocktail hour, we were out on the golf course taking pictures and the backdrop was stunning. My favorite pictures from our wedding are on the bridges of poplar creek. The reception went off without a hitch. Food was served promptly after introductions and cake cutting and was hot and delicious. We served the combination filet and chicken Poulette and people are still talking about it today. I am happy to say that my own wedding was the first wedding I have been to where my filet was cooked to perfection. I also highly recommend the late night snack options-they were a hit around 10:30 pm. A huge thank you to Poplar Creek and their staff for making my dream wedding become a reality.

We had a custom brunch menu with carving stations and omelet stations.One might think \"expensive\" but we had a budget and Jennifer made it fit within our budget. Any questions that I had with Jennifer, she responded right away with the answers. When it came to signing the contract, Jennifer had everything as we discussed in there, which was GREAT! There was a back up plan just in case in rained that day and we had to do the ceremony inside. We had a photo booth which the room had plenty of room for. We got married in June 2014 and the weather was great. The flowers were beautiful. There is a little creek with a small bridge in the same area. The outside set up with the white chairs were stunning. We had a set of mules with a carriage which carried myself (bride) and the girls to the stepping stone of the beginning of the grass area. After the ceremony, we did a balloon release. Jennifer made sure there was no village ordinance that wouldn't allow us to do those things which turned out that there was no problem. The outside area was a beautiful place to take pictures. We are so glad we chose Bridges of Poplar Creek to be a part of our wedding. We had NO problems. Everything was exactly as expected. Great Job to the Bridges of Poplar Creek. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone that's getting married. Reviewed on 29-10-2014
Sylvia Foerster(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-06-2014 My husband and I got married here at the end of June of 2014. I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her team. Throughout the planning process, I emailed her probably 100 questions and she always responded quickly. I'm sure I drove her crazy (my mom and i even stopped by once to see if my table runner idea would look good) We were allowed a little customization to our package to ensure that we got everything we wanted. We used Bridges for both our ceremony and reception. The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful - the landscaping is lush and the small waterfall adds a serene touch to the atmosphere. \r\rOur cocktail hour was held outdoors as well, and several guests commented on how beautiful the site and ceremony were. The staff was also kind enough to save the groom and I some appetizers while we were on the course taking pictures!\r\rThe reception space was also lovely. We got married on a Friday and were allowed to bring our decorations and instructions on how to set everything up a few days in advance. I knew that I could trust Jennifer and her team to recreate what I was envisioning. The package included a wedding cake, which was fantastic.\r\rOne great thing that this venue has over others we visited. They plan a tasting for all the couples getting married a few months before the wedding season ramps up. We were able to bring both sets of parents and the great thing is you get to taste the majority of the food available on the menu which really helped us choose our options. \r\rEveryone says that the wedding planning is extremely stressful, and it can be, but Jennifer truly made the entire process so easy. If we had to do it again, we would choose Bridges again! Reviewed on 29-10-2014
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2014 We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at The Bridges, which truly was the best day of our lives! Jennifer and her staff were extremely helpful, attentive, professional, and fun. Working with Jennifer throughout the whole process was a good experience. She was friendly and well rounded when helping us with all the details. On the wedding day the staff was very friendly with our guests. \rThe setting for the ceremony was just gorgeous with the gazebo, little creek and bridges, all the floral surroundings, and brick outdoor bar area. Everything tied together and made for breath taking photographs. Made me feel a world away from the suburbs of chicago. \rThe appetizers we chose were all delicious, the guests just couldn't get enough. It was nice having the cocktail hour outside, with tables for some guests to sit, and others for people to stand around and socialize. It was a fun experience and very cute pictures when the bridal party all took golf carts out onto the course. The bridge, willow trees, and creek were a beautiful place to take pictures. Lots of space for big wedding party group shots. And right at dusk, the back drop of all the pictures with the sun and clouds was perfect! \rThe reception was a blast and went very smoothly. They were accommodating with the timing of how we wanted the night to proceed. Food was delicious, my wife and I ordered the filet and the salmon. My mom kept telling me after the wedding how many guests commented on the food and how great dinner was. I know the dinner can make or break some people's reception experiences, so I was overly grateful for such a great meal. We had about 180 guests and the room never seemed too crowded at all. The dance floor was always hoppin. When the festivities were over, the staff was extremely nice when helping gather and organize our gifts and flowers with us. The next day when we realized we misplaced a tuxedo vest and a few of our presents, we went back to the venue and everything was safely locked in an office for us! \rOverall, my family and I were extremely pleased with the Bridges of Poplar Creek. We are very thankful for such a pleasant experience, beautiful day, and all the unforgettable memories of our wedding day!!\rThank you! Rachel & Niki Reviewed on 27-10-2014

My daughter had her reception at Bridges in July of 2014. Jennifer was excellent to work with in setting up all of the details for the reception. She was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The setting was wonderful. We had cocktails outside by the gazebo, then moved inside for the dinner and dancing. The food was excellent and the price was quite reasonable. The added touch of having pictures taken of the bridal party in the golf carts was so much fun! The gazebo, bridges, and setting made for wonderful pictures. I highly recommend Bridges for your wedding reception. Reviewed on 24-10-2014

Jennifer Krimmel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2014 My now-husband and I looked at a few select venues when choosing where to get married and have our reception. We chose Bridges of Poplar Creek because it was close to home (Hoffman Estates) and had the prettiest ceremony site of every place we looked. In fact, when we first went to see the venue it was snowing and there were already 2 ft of snow on the ground! When we went back to see the site in June, I couldn't believe how beautiful it was! \r\rThe pictures do not do the garden justice. The flowers are incredible and so well maintained. The golf course is perfect for photos with your groom or wedding party. The banquet room is a nice blank slate to make your own. The food is great too. \r\rWe had a Sunday morning wedding followed by brunch. Our guests and vendors loved having bacon, eggs, and a Bloody Mary bar. We also had a photo booth in the corner for entertainment. \r\rIt really was a perfect day. The staff were wonderful the day of. Jennifer made planning extremely simple for a bride who wanted to keep it all simple. \r\rIf I had it all to do over, I would still have my wedding here! Reviewed on 08-10-2014

Michelle Sawyckyj(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2014 The outside gazebo where the ceremony was performed was the deal breaker for us. It was so beautiful with the lush greenery. The staff was helpful, but some things that were discussed during our first visit changed as the date got closer. There were also some unfortunate circumstances with guests who did not show up that we could not get plates to take home. I wish that would have been discussed with us before. Set up was great and they were available throughout the reception. They held aside appetizers for us, but they were cleaned from the bridal suite before we could get back in. I appreciate them being able to take us on the course for photos. We got a thank you letter mailed to us afterwards, but were disappointed that they thought we had booked a memorial luncheon. I guess it was a busy summer. Overall, we were pretty satisfied, and we had many compliments on the location. Reviewed on 19-08-2014

Jennifer went above and beyond to answer our millions of questions promptly and professionally! Poplar Creek and Jennifer did everything they could to make the planning and implementation as smooth as possible. We were able to bring in our decorations and such a few days before the wedding. The food was DELICIOUS and everyone raved about the appetizers, pretzel encrusted chicken, sirloin, and late night snacks! We upgraded our linens to include table runners, and upgraded linens and chair covers for the head table (only). We loved the windows in the banquet room along with having our outside cocktail hour. They were even able to get us on the golf course earlier for pictures than originally planned! Even though our cocktail hour got moved inside after it started raining and lightening, Jennifer and her staff were beyond accommodating and helped make our guests transition inside smooth. She even incorporated our monogram on our signs that directed our guests at Poplar! A++++++++ Highly recommend!! We can not say enough good things about this place.

Ginta Harrigan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2013 My husband and I were married at Bridges of Poplar Creek (BoPC) in September. We had the most beautiful setting and reception for our special day. We had an outdoor wedding. We were married in the gazebo and it was really great. I had no difficulty walking down the aisle (in the grass). We took pictures with our wedding party (and just us) on the bridge over the creek and they came out great. \r\rIn addition to holding our wedding there, we also had our reception there. All of the guests remarked at the quality of the food. The food was fabulous. We gave our guests a choice between chicken and salmon (I had salmon) and there were no complaints. The salmon as well as the other dishes were absolutely delicious. But most importantly was the service. Everyone treated us with respect and kindness. They were amenable to all our questions and they met with us to confirm everything a few days prior to our wedding. \r\rI highly recommend BoPC and cannot say enough nice things about the staff and the facility.
