If you are looking for venues, stop your search here! I cannot recommend cross creek enough! I was asked several times throughout the year if wedding planning had me stressed and I can honestly say it did not, thanks to everyone at cross creek. Our day was better than I could have ever imagined, everything ran smoothly, they thought of every little detail from giving us water between pictures to keep us hydrated to tissues labeled “happy tears” for when my maid of honor gave her speech. The level of professionalism was beyond anything we could imagine. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful, all of our guests were in awe! My husband and I are extremely glad we chose to get married there and grateful for everyone who had a part in making our day so special! Reviewed on 12-01-2024

My now husband and I got married at Cross Creek on November 9th 2023. We found this place about 2 years before our day and fell in love immediately. I knew after our tour it was the one for me. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony at the Enchanted Forest and the ceremony in the Carriage Stable House. Day of, everything was incredible. They think of every little detail for your day. This place is all-inclusive, meaning they booked everything minus the officiant and the photographer. IF YOU ARE DEBATING ALL INCLUSIVE, DO IT. They know what they are doing. We had multiple design meetings that took pictures and ideas we liked to create our own unique look. They do all the table stuff (I did not make anything minus a few specific things, like my MOH painted my bar signs), they have all the signs, decorate everything. I even specially brought a mirror in for their calligrapher to turn into the seating chart. You have a team that is extremely dedicated to making your day perfect. Haley helping to ensure my bar was ready, Lisa helped with design, and Holly was my lead coordinator, and she was INCREDIBLE. Even day of staff made sure we were always comfortable. The day was absolutely perfect. They create timelines to ensure you do everything you want to get done and add some time post ceremony for just the couple to be alone. I never felt overwhelmed or concerned over what I should be doing. Throughout planning they always ensured I had things done when they should be. They had it all planned and covered from the second that we signed the contract to when our friends picked up our things the day after. Even after the wedding guests could not stop talking about the venue and the staff. I cannot say enough good things about Cross Creek Ranch, the venue itself, the staff, my wedding day, and the preferred vendors. I thank CCR so much for making our day so incredibly special. BOOK YOUR WEDDING AT CCR, YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER. Reviewed on 10-12-2023

Cross Creek Ranch was the perfect venue for us. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were in awe. We wanted and Enchanted Forest wedding and it was perfect. The design team & coordinators were so helpful and made sure that everything was exactly how we envisioned. Annika, Jennifer, Lisa, Andrea, and Haley were such a pleasure to work with during this journey. The team is so detail-oriented and efficient, they go above and beyond.

Our wedding at Cross Creek Ranch was more beautiful and perfect than we could have dreamed. CCR's team worked hard to accomplish our vision and were really flexible and accommodating. They also thought of EVERYTHING. We had scheduled alone time on our wedding day, they brought us the food and drinks from cocktail hour since we had to miss that time for photos, they even sent us home with a to-go box of all the food and desserts from dinner because they (rightly) guessed that we wouldn't eat much since the day goes so fast. I especially want to shout out our day-of coordinator, Alexis W. Alexis was kind, fun, poised, and extremely on-the-ball with everything our entire wedding day. She was our wedding MVP and we can’t say enough good things about her! Our experience with Cross Creek Ranch could not have been better and I would recommend them to anyone.

Lauren Thompson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 Cross Creek Ranch is a spectacular venue and the fact that they are all-inclusive makes the wedding planning process really enjoyable! From the very beginning, almost a year out, they had stellar communication with us and were very organized. They organize and help coordinate your vendors, spend a few hours going over your dream designs and how they can bring those to life in your design meeting, and have an impeccable follow-up throughout the months leading up to your day. They connected us with Jean King from Monarch Events and Design for our fresh florals and they turned out to be so beautiful. She made our entire vision come to life. I've heard that wedding planning and coordinating all of the vendors, especially on the day of the wedding, can be very stressful! However, we did not experience any of that having Cross Creek Ranch as our vendor. We decided to get married at their newest site, The Oak Hall and it was GORGEOUS. That part of the property is stunning, quiet, and magical with all of the plants and trees. On the day of the wedding, we had zero worries. We had Christine as our house mom and she was so patient and helpful while we got ready. Valerie was our lead coordinator and I highly recommend her for anyone's wedding! She had constant communication leading up to the wedding, followed- up on every question I had, and was so KIND and loving to us on our actual wedding day. She was so passionate about our wedding and making it so special for us, that I felt like she was a part of our family. The entire wedding team staff was also so wonderful and truly wants your day to be so special. And it means the world to have a whole team behind you on such a big day! They connected us with Grant and Hemond & associates, and Rafael was our DJ. 10/10 recommend Rafael if you truly want to have an awesome and lively party. I cannot thank the whole CCR team, Bonnie and Sean enough for making literal wedding dreams come to a reality. Reviewed on 28-03-2023

Felicia Figueroa(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-03-2023 CCR is honestly amazing and you should definitely have your wedding here. I had zero stress on my wedding and knowing that we had Holly and her team putting everything together was a literal godsend and I don't know how people get married without planners. The fact that it's all inclusive is a mega plus. The grounds are amazing. I got to live my fairy princess dream wedding. Nothing bad happened. Lisa who did our design meeting got everything perfect. You literally pick everything you want in a 4-5 hour design session and they take care of everything. I loved that all the florals (sans the bouquets and boutonnieres) were silk. No waste and sustainable. On the day of the rehearsal, I saw something another wedding had and I wanted it and Holly made it happen. There was a little issue with my brother's boutonniere and Holly fixed it in 2 minutes. Bria, our house mom, took care of us in the morning. Haley helped me gather my things; it felt like I was a celebrity. There were so many people there to make sure everything was perfect. Anita helped the boys and they all talked to each other on head sets to communicate and make sure that everyone was aligned. The timing was incredible. They talked and handled any and all things regarding vendors. They got us in touch with the preferred caterer so we could do our tasting. They linked us up with Alta for florals. They made sure the DJ reached out to us. They do all the setup and decorating and teardown. They kept everything on time. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS. The entire team that supported me and my husband that day made it perfect. I had the best time. I want to get married exactly in the same way 100 times. Everyone said that we had an amazing wedding and it wouldn't have been as great if we didn't go with CCR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! We love you Holly! Reviewed on 08-03-2023

Catie Shedlock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-02-2022 Cross Creek Ranch is the perfect venue for anyone looking for an all inclusive venue. We had a great experience from beginning to end and Cross Creek executed our wedding vision better than we could have imagined. Each step of our process was easy and seamless from Nicole taking us on a tour and ensuring we saw The Enchanted Forrest ceremony site first knowing the impact of the space, to Lisa and the design team bringing our garden party to life, to Annika and team ensuring our day went smoothly and according to our timeline. Cross Creek has the best included vendors including catering and pastry chef as well as florals and DJ. The thought of hiring all our vendors was a daunting task but Cross Creek made it extremely easy even for vendors not included with the package. The staff was always friendly, patient, and accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. They say a bunch of hands touch your wedding and it’s true but all hands involved truly care and get to know the couple like family versus another number. We were fortunate to meet most of the team that had a part with our big day including Jill who was always willing to answer our billing questions and Helena our wedding concierge always willing to find us answers to any questions we had leading up to our big day.

Anika Thoopthong(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 I honestly can’t say enough about Cross Creek. When we first started planning our wedding, my husband and I immediately felt the pressure of trying to find and book all the different vendors. Once we found Cross Creek, all that stress disappeared. Their all inclusiveness is really what sold us on them. Not to mention that the property is just absolutely gorgeous! With our schedules (both of us work overnights) it would have been nearly impossible for us to meet with all the vendors. We were able to have just a few meetings, most of which were able to be done over the phone or Zoom, to make the bigger decisions. Each and every one of Cross Creek’s staff were absolutely amazing. Super friendly, super helpful, super professional. They really care about giving you the wedding of your dreams. You’re not just another couple to them. We had a smaller wedding (45 guests) so we booked the French Country Inn. It was exactly the type of feeling we were looking for and we had so many of our guests say how much they loved the intimate feeling of the French Country Inn. Overall, our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We can’t thank you enough Cross Creek!! Reviewed on 25-03-2022
Megan Medero(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-02-2022 This was the second venue that we toured and immediately knew that Cross Creek was a top contender. We were planning a smaller wedding (50 guests) and loved the intimate setting that the French Country Inn at Cross Creek Ranch offered. Shortly after touring, we received a hand-written thank you letter which sealed the deal for us. We were quickly assigned a point of contact and the planning process began. The only hiccup that we came across during the planning process was the turnover of employees which caused minor confusion. The leave of our designer was the most frustrating because approximately a week after my meeting with her, she resigned. We were provided with another designer, Lisa, who was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Lisa shared décor items that were not mentioned during the first design meeting- this was huge for me because I was not satisfied with the original items provided by the prior designer. The caterer, baker, DJ, and florist vendors were all pleasant to work with. My Lead Coordinator was Valerie and WOW, she is great. Valerie was super attentive, helpful, and genuine. We did not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding- if there were any hiccups on our wedding day, we did not notice and never heard about it. Valerie and the Assistant Coordinator, Alexis, worked very hard at making sure we were taken care of. They were both superb! Also, the staff the day of the wedding were impressive. Our guests had so many positive things to say about the day. Mostly, that the staff was super attentive and on-point the entire time. Also, we received several compliments from our guests about the venue. Specifically, how intimate and romantic it was. The guests also loved the food provided by Vesh. All in all, the service provided day of was a 10 out of 10. The price of the all-inclusive venue was reasonable. Be prepared to pay additional if you would like certain décor items such as different chairs, french doors at the ceremony, lace runners on the reception tables, etc. Also, some of the dinner entrée options were additional. The allowance ($500) for the florist was not sufficient so prepare to pay additional for your fresh flowers. We are sure all of this is very common with an all-inclusive venue and truly felt the final price was reasonable. One tip, if you are paying monthly for the venue, do not pay online or via phone because the convenience fee is approximately $30-$40. Mail in a check to steer clear of the additional cost. In conclusion, if you are looking for a reasonably priced venue with an experienced, knowledgeable staff and a flawless wedding day, we recommend Cross Creek Ranch. Oh, & it was helpful receiving texts (about random marriage reminders) throughout the planning process and they are very active on Instagram which was fun to follow! Reviewed on 22-03-2022

Right away we received a month-to-month timeline, so we new what to expect moving forward from CCR and what we should be doing on our end of things. About a month out we met with our Day-Of Coordinator, Megan Flaherty. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She and their Designer, Lisa Parsons, went through every detail with us to make sure we all were on the same page and happy with the checklist. Flash forward to the day of our wedding and oh what a breeze it was! If I could name the entire team I would! My girls and I got ready on the CCR property and Christine made sure we were happy with food and beverages all day long. Megan and her Assistant Coordinator, Emily, took over once the festivities started and the two of them had everything under control from staying on top of the schedule to making sure everyone was happy.

We got married in the Enchanted Forest and had our reception in the Carriage House Stable. Choosing an all-inclusive venue was the best decision! Everything was handled for us, they had amazing vendors to choose from, and we didn’t have to worry about putting stuff together ourselves and figuring out what to do with it when it was done!We toured with Bonnie, and worked with her initially when signing contracts and everything - she is so, so sweet.

Lauren definitely understood more of the theme we were going for and made suggestions that wound up using the day of! They were both so easy and nice to work with.

We cannot say enough about her! We truly truly loved working with her.

It was a great place to stay!The day of, we had a house mom looking after us. I feel so bad because I don’t remember her name and she was absolutely incredible! She was there with tissues, offered to take photos, laughed with us, and helped us through the timeline of the day.The only two complaints that came out of the day were with the Bridal Assistant and a piece of the decorations. I don’t remember her name either, but when it came time for her to help during our portrait photo session she seemed very absent and it took a bit for her to come where we needed her or to understand what we needed. She also was completely lost on how to bustle my dress. Thankfully, I had my sister there and she knew. While it wasn’t an issue, it would have been nice to move a little faster during photos or to have my dress bustled faster to enjoy our alone time in the cottage. We opted to have a “you should be here” table just outside of the ceremony site. When we went to tour everything, it wasn’t set up, so I didn’t get to see it beforehand and it wasn’t ready for our photographers to capture photos of. This posed a slight issue as it wasn’t set up exactly to our liking, but we didn’t know because we didn’t see it so we couldn’t correct it. It also took away from having that moment looking at it ahead of time instead of feeling rushed to look as I walked past just before walking down the aisle. Reviewed on 17-12-2021
Joy Philogene(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-12-2021 The most AMAZING wedding venue ever!!! The place is very spacious and very well-maintained, with multiple options for ceremony sites to match your style (all of which are equally beautiful). The fact that it is an all-inclusive venue definitely made the wedding planning much less stressful for us, especially living out of state. The concierge and design team kept in close contact with us the whole time, guiding us throughout the whole wedding process. Alta, the florist, is the sweetest soul we’ve ever met! She took so much time and care to listen to exactly what we wanted for our floral arrangements. From the moment we set eyes on the property and met the amazing team, we already knew this was the perfect venue for us. We felt so taken care of (portable fans and glasses of water provided for us throughout the photoshoot to keep us cool and hydrated, snacks and appetizers catered to us in between the programs to make sure we are fueled and don’t forget to eat, accommodating our request to have a private “first touch/vows/gift exchange” without actually “seeing” each other, giving my groom and I enough time just by ourselves right after the ceremony so we can have a small private moment together before going back to greet our guests, and so much more). There were multiple last-minute changes we requested that they easily accommodated, including squeezing in an additional slot for a toast (my father decided at the very last second that despite his fear of public speaking, he would get up and provide a toast for us 😭). The whole team all worked so hard to make our day so very special. Every little detail so well thought of. We can’t thank Cross Creek Ranch enough for all the love and support we received (Nicole, Alexis, Annika, Lisa, Alta, etc). There’s no other place that could match this venue. We will forever recommend them to everyone we meet!!! Reviewed on 11-12-2021
Amanda Walton(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2021 I cannot say enough great things about Cross Creek Ranch. Our daughter was married at the French Country Inn and it was amazing beyond words. Not only is the venue itself absolutely breathtaking (especially with all the gorgeous flowers they included in the grand design of the wedding) but they literally have the best staff in the world! From our initial encounter and property tour through the design meetings and the big day, every single moment was incredible. Our coordinator Valerie was amazing and she and her staff created so many special moments that truly made the day magical. Five stars just doesn’t cover it. Valerie and her team, our awesome DJ, and stellar bartender all went above and beyond to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. It was clear throughout our entire experience with Cross Creek that they enjoy what they do. It was evident in every interaction and the wonderful care they took to personalize the day and make it more incredible and special than we ever imagined. Reviewed on 23-11-2021

CCR was there for us and worked with us in every step of the way. Jill from the sales team was very professional but also like family. Lisa from the design team, listened to our vision and she beyond met our expectations. The decor was so beautiful. Our wedding coordinator, Val, I can’t say enough good things about her.

They have a great staff and every little detail is planned for. On the day of my wedding it was raining and they had contingency plans for their contingency plans and I truly had nothing to worry about on wedding day. I would recommend including the Main House in your package- getting ready there was awesome and then getting the honey moon stay was also so convenient.

Melina Leone(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 If you’re looking for the most beautiful barn venue ever, Cross Creek Ranch is it! From the moment we toured, we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. The design team really helped bring our vision to life and was very helpful with offering a variety of options and suggestions! I was really glad we didn’t end up paying extra/upgrading for the farm tables and chairs, the banquet tables and chairs looked great. I was so happy with how beautiful everything looked on the day of. The colors of our floral arrangements were perfect! The team at Cross Creek was extremely supportive and helpful! Our lead coordinator, Annika was so sweet, there with us every step of the way, and answered all of our questions! When my bridesmaids and I got to the cottage, the attendants there were so helpful. They re-glued my eyelash, re-curled my hair, fixed my veil, brought me water. Whatever I needed, they were on it! The staff also ensures everything runs on time. Which is great because you are so overwhelmed, you aren’t keeping track of time. The only thing I will say is that at one point my photographer/videographer needed a little more time prior to the reception and asked if I was alright with that. The photos and video were a top priority for us given that after the wedding is over, that’s all you have. I chose having a little more time (about 15-20 min more) over entering the reception on time. When I decided this, one of the staff members seemed visibly annoyed/rude and “-wanted me to be fully aware that this would take away time from the reception.” (In no way did I think our time was going to be extended). I understand it is their job for weddings to run on time but after all, it’s our wedding and we should be able to choose how we want to split our time. Also, it really only ended up being 20 min later and we had still had PLENTY of time for our reception! It was perfect. Thank you Cross Creek Ranch for an amazing wedding! :) Reviewed on 22-10-2021

Andrea Calzada(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2021 CCR is the perfect venue for an intimate beautiful wedding that has it all! Of the two locations on the property, we decided on the French County Inn because it was exactly what we were looking for. There was a second wedding happening on our wedding day and we did not hear a thing. The CCR staff is amazing. The venue is all inclusive and the staff does it all!! Everyone is so great and makes the event seem seamless. We had 2 meeting days (1-flowers and design; 2- food and cake) and a few phone/zoom meetings so if you don’t live in town, it’s definitely doable. Even with the minimal in person meetings, everything came out exactly as we had hoped. Because it is all inclusive, CCR works with the venders and coordinate all delivery and setting up so you don’t have to worry about anything! We did have to provide our own photographer, officiant, and alcohol (the bartender is provided but you do have to bring the booze). On the wedding day, we just showed up and enjoyed the day. The staff had everything planned and guided us through the day. Every time we talk about our wedding, we are so happy we found CCR.

Lauren Grove(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-03-2021 Alright, folks. Buckle up, this is gonna be a long one lolThis review is overdue, mostly because even a month later, I’m still processing how amazing our wedding was. My husband and I got married at Cross Creek Ranch on March 6, 2021. And it was absolutely magical. We first toured the property in February 2019 and immediately knew this was the place for us — we didn’t even look at other venues, we signed the contract on the spot and booked our date.For the next two years, CCR was in touch with us, making sure all of our questions were answered and helping guide us through the planning process. The owners of the venue were incredibly communicative throughout 2020, providing updates about how they were dealing with COVID, what precautions they were taking, etc. This is definitely one of the best things about this staff — they are so good at communicating with their brides and grooms about every tiny detail. Never once did I feel out of the loop or unsure of what was going on.My husband and I had the pleasure of working with several members of CCR’s staff, and each one of them was as equally amazing as the next. I never felt like a “client”, even though that’s what I was; they all made me feel more like part of their little family! Special shout outs to our Lead Coordinator, Emily, who I adore so very much and made our day so stress free; Lisa and Lauren who brought our wedding vision to life in terms of decor; Lindsay and Megan who were there every step of the way to answer my 999 questions; and Holly, who literally carried a phone around all night FaceTiming my bridesmaid who was stuck in Australia and unable to attend the wedding. I KNOW I’m missing some people, but the point is, every single person on CCR’s staff is just absolutely top notch.On the day of our wedding, I was so calm, so at ease...I knew that with CCR’s staff in charge, everything would be just perfect. And it was! Everything went so smoothly, they truly have it down to a science. The property is so stunning, decorations were impeccable, the DJ/music was absolutely on point (thanks, Jeff!!!), food was insane, dessert table a hit...y’all, I may be biased (probably), but this was literally the best wedding I have ever attended lol and I had SEVERAL guests say the same thing.I could go on forever and ever, but this is turning into an actual novel and I need to stop. I would absolutely, with no hesitation whatsoever, recommend Cross Creek Ranch to anyone. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive venue who genuinely takes care of everything for you — look no further. These are your peeps. Book your wedding here. You will never regret it.Thank you, CCR, for making our wedding day SIMPLY THE BEST ;) there is not one thing we would have changed. You guys are amazing! Wish we could do it all over again!

My husband and I got married on March 19th and it was by far the best day of our lives. The staff at CCR are incredible. They are the most genuine, attentive and detail oriented group of people I have ever met. Planning a wedding during COVID is stressful to say the least; however, not if you choose CCR. Not once during the process of wedding planning was I stressed and I whole heartedly believe it is because of the wonderful staff that helped me along the way. Lisa (designer) was absolutely wonderful and made all of my wedding decor dreams come true. Annika (lead coordinator) was incredible. We really couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. She was there for Matt and I every step of the way even on the day of the wedding. The staff even brought us drinks from the bar and snacks while we were getting pictures taken. I could name so many more people that were truly wonderful. We had guests come up to us telling us it was by far the most amazing wedding they have ever attended.

Hanna Roney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-02-2021 We booked to have our wedding at Cross Creek Ranch in August of 2019 to have wedding February 2021. What initially drew us to Cross Creek were the images of the natural wedding ceremony location and positive reviews from previous grooms and brides. They have many beautiful ceremony settings on property, but we ended up choosing the Enchanted Forrest. Once we fell in love with the venue we became more confident with the venue as they displayed their ability to execute an unforgettable wedding. The world changed drastically between when we booked our wedding to when we had the wedding last month, however team at Cross Creek was outstanding throughout. In every wedding, there are thousands of decision points that you can tremendously stress over. Cross Creek takes so much of that decision burden off of you, while still giving you the ability to design your dream wedding. Our vision was something romantic, natural and welcoming - and we got just that! Initially we were nervous it may go more rustic than our taste (which it can if you want it to) but at CCR you can truly go in whichever style and direction you desire and the outcome will be beautiful. You should ensure your photographer knows what you are looking for (maybe you want to highlight more greenery and nature or highlight more dark woods and antique structures or etc.). We are more outdoor people (we enjoy being outside and going for walks) and the venue was perfect for that.A few days before our wedding, some family members asked why were were so laid back and not stressed about our wedding, and we both said it mostly had to do with being in the best hands possible at CCR. We believed that they would take care of everything. They truly did!! Our wedding ended up being absolutely magical. The Cross Creek team has optimized the wedding experience for everyone involved. We had plenty of time for photos, they provided us food so we were not hungry and we ended up making a few timing changes during the reception due to how things were going and they pivoted on a dime to make those happen. Comparing our wedding experience against other weddings we have been a part of at various different types of venues, you will absolutely be thanking yourself you went with Cross Creek.Thank you CCR for the most amazing wedding <3 Reviewed on 24-03-2021

CCR went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I had the most wonderful night. Our cups were never empty, the food was excellent, the music was perfect and the experience was something I will never forget. I went to CCR looking for an all-inclusive venue and what I found was an extended family that was so friendly, professional and accommodating. I was absolutely clueless going into the wedding planning process and was living out of state so I opted for the marathon day with Angela where we planned the entire wedding in a period of 8 hours and she was AMAZING. The wedding itself was headed by the lovely Valerie who had Angela there as her assistant (a match made in heaven) and I can say with absolute certainty that these ladies, amongst the rest of the CCR staff, made all of my wildest dreams come true. You can trust that if you book with CCR at any of their venues (I booked the French Country Inn) you will not be disappointed.

I was blessed to find the perfect outdoor venue for a relaxed but elegant wedding – Cross Creek Ranch (hereafter referred to as CCR) and their lovely French Country venue. I will not bore you with the imagery and details here of my wedding – but will instead strive to include details that will help the next bride choose the just-right venue! My background is Ecommerce – marketing and design – and I know how much both a business and a potential client rely upon and research reviews. Many businesses go so far as to harass clients to “post a review” – however, that is not the case with CCR. I hope my written experience will help you the next bride i making a profoundly just and wonderful decision in selecting CCR for your wedding day! Choose joy and love and enjoy your beautiful day!I found the wedding planning process to be clearly defined; user friendly; with their format taking an overall large event and segmenting it into a step-by-step, easy, more stress free process than I could have initially imagined, and in the old southern saying “anyone can eat an elephant – just take it one small bite at a time!” CCR will assist youWith taking it one small bite at a time and keep your joy intact while keeping your stress at bay.In any business it is always the people that add to, make it, or break it. More so in a wedding venue!! As a manager myself I always strive to create a work atmosphere where the people thrive, no toxicity, and the space for personal and professional joy. A business catering to a wedding is at an increased challenge to create a positive, loving, professional, non-toxic environment since the purest emotion (love) is at the heart and crux of their business. I was asked what did I wish my wedding to be? My response: Joyful! Laughter filled, and with love and positivity exuding from all guests and the CCR team participating!So to all you brides: here is list of the amazing CCR team that pulled off my joyful and laughter filled wedding day!

Haley Wedge(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-04-2020 I would like to start off by saying that cross creek ranch is a beautiful venue. This venue has a lot to offer and it is all-inclusive. The staff is very responsive and I appreciate that very much. However, I am extremely disappointed in how things were handled during the pandemic. I was supposed to be married on April 18th, 2020. But due to the virus, we had to cancel/postpone and I completely understand that. We had already paid off the wedding and we were given available dates to reschedule anywhere between May and September of 2020, and weekdays in October-December. So we decided to postpone the wedding to the end of June. Since Florida still isn’t fully reopened, and my father is very sick with stage 4 cancer, we decided to postpone the wedding to next year since the CDC was predicting a second wave in the fall. Then we were told that we would have to repurchase the wedding since it is considered an inventory date for next year and we could do so by making a claim on our insurance and paying cross creek ranch again. So it would have been double the money. I understand that everyone needs to run a business and pay their staff, but we already paid off the wedding that we didn’t get to have. Also, if we wanted a weekend in October-December of 2020, we still would have had to repurchase the wedding. It was very heartbreaking because we were looking forward to having our wedding here, but we cannot justify having to repurchase a wedding we didn’t get to have in the first place.

When considering booking an all-inclusive venue, and before visiting Cross Creek Ranch, our only concern was whether the wedding would still feel “like us”, however, I can assure you, with Cross Creek Ranch, you are NOT getting a “cookie cutter” wedding. The design team at Cross Creek REALLY took the time to listen to us, review our Pinterest board and understand “us” and our style, and went beyond our wildest dreams to deliver the most beautiful, magical wedding. On our wedding day, all of our guests kept commenting on how the wedding “screamed us”, and LOOKED like us, down to the last detail. Our day of coordinator, Valarie, is the kindest, sweetest person we have ever met. The moment we met her, I knew she understood us, and that our wedding would be perfect. She went above and beyond, as did Lindsay, to ensure every detail was perfect, in order, and that we felt not an ounce of stress. I cannot recommend Cross Creek Ranch enough. The grounds are stunning, the team is incredible, and I cannot express enough how much we appreciate Cross Creek for treating us as family. We could not have had a better wedding anywhere else.

Meg Rinaca(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-02-2020 Best decision I made in planning my wedding! The site is incredible with multiple options for wedding site and reception! They think of EVERYTHING...even things I never thought about. They only use a select few vendors but this is a blessing. Having vendors that know each other and have history of working well together means less hassle for the bride/groom! The day of the wedding you have a wedding coordinator who makes sure everything moves according to schedule. You have a bride assistant and groom assistant that make sure you have beverages, appetizers while taking photos during cocktail hour! I could go on and on! They are WONDERFUL!!

When the day came when we were finally able to tour the property, it was a done deal after 10 minutes. From then on, Cross Creek was with us every step of the way and made the pre-wedding day plans as simple as can be for mainly my wife but also for me and our family.The countless team members that took us through the wedding process were knowledgeable and communicated well every step of the way. Come wedding day, we were overcome with the support that each one of us had and for the warm family style feeling they brought to each of our guests. The property and accommodations were very comfortable and my wife and I found ourselves saying over and over again...“can we reply that day over and over again” because it went by too fast. Our guests have been complimenting us for the past two months on how absolutely perfect everything was and were taking notes for future family members weddings.

Not only is planning a wedding stressful, but trying to plan a wedding from a different state can be a daunting task. From the moment we \"virtually\" toured Cross Creek (we toured over FaceTime) to the moment we walked through our sparkler send off, everything was PERFECT! Cross Creek truly takes care of every aspect of your wedding and made planning from Texas a breeze. Every staff member is so knowledgable, helpful, organized and SO sweet!

Stephanie Pinto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-11-2019 Cross Creek Ranch made all of my wedding dreams come true! The owner, Bonnie, is a perfectionist and her team pays attention to every little detail from the day you tour with them to your wedding day. They walked me through every single detail of the planning process and let me know when decisions had to be made. It is an all inclusive venue so they have certain vendors they work with that you can choose from- this made me a little nervous because I’m a little bit of a control freak and wanted to be able to take time and research my own, but Bonnie has already done the research and only works with the best, which took away the pressure of me researching and sifting through the hundreds of wedding vendors out there. There are multiple ceremony sites on the property to choose from which are all equally as stunning. We were unable to get the pastor at our church to be our officiant so we asked Cross Creek Ranch for a recommendation. They recommended Pastor Bobby Triplett and he facilitated the most beautiful ceremony, better than we could have imagined. I would absolutely recommend renting the Main House on the property to get ready with your bridesmaids the day of the wedding too. I was a little nervous and emotional the day of the wedding and it takes a lot of the pressure off getting ready there, and my bridesmaids had so much fun taking pictures in the house and around the property in their robes. My guests raved about how this was unlike any wedding they have been to before because there were activities to do- during most receptions you are either dancing or sitting down at your table- but at Cross Creek Ranch they have a dedicated area right next to the stable where you can just hang out and relax. There are games like jenga and corn hole, and even a fire pit to roast marshmallows and make s’mores which my guests loved! During the entire day, my husband and I had someone assisting us, letting us know when it was time for the first look, first dance, speeches, everything. They even give you a to go box of your food and cake which we had for dinner the next night. Overall, Cross Creek Ranch made my wedding day the best day of my life and I am so grateful for Bonnie and her team. Reviewed on 11-11-2019

If you start with the expertise assembled for our wedding that would be enough for top honors, but wait there’s more. The grounds were brought to life with our story book vision just like a fairy tale by this cast of super natural people. Every member chimed in to create a dream atmosphere while making us feel important and comfortable through the entire process. Margo was an absolute Rockstar!! She was on point from our first dealings with her and as it came to just two weeks out gave us everything she had. She took every call, text and if I would have had a carrier pigeon she would have waited for it. Countless, dilegent, focused, reliable, witty, energetic, and 100 of other positive descritive words for this Gem. I’m not sure why or how we won the lottery with having her as our liaison for the most perfect wedding ever but we will sure take it and be ever so thankful. Going back to the venue and the other members are just as apealing. Every small detail was either discussed or miraculously just done during the process of our special day. We had chosen the Enchanted Forest however there are many other locations on the property to have your wedding. The forest was prepared to the exact detail but actually better and I’m not even sure that’s possible. The entire assembly of flowers, colors and just life was thrown into this in a sort of whimsical fashion. To say we were blown away would be a travesty as it was so much better. The entire day was stress free and what you expect from a wedding but never seem to achieve. We were actually able to enjoy and just bask in the reason for this major event. I know I’m not giving Cross Creek the justice it deserves, if I was having another Child it would be Cross Creek Allison. So in closing, If you want to be amazed for an entire year and are getting married then choose The Cross Creek Ranch for your wedding venue. You won’t be disappointed….Thank-you Cross Creek for allowing me to marry the girl of my dreams and have a memory that will truly be the greatest of all time!!! Reviewed on 17-11-2018

If you have even an ounce of curiosity or interest at all about having your wedding here, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you do not come take a tour. I have no doubt you will fall in love with the sweeping oak trees, the small rustic/woodsy details that make every step you take an adventure in discovery. When I came to Cross Creek Ranch I was coming off the decision to elope. The idea of a planning a wedding haunted me. Cross Creek Ranch not only put me at ease but inspired excitement in the planning process. The team there is nothing short of exceptional! When I first met with my designer Jessica, I couldn’t be happier with the figment of my imagination she brought to life but when I walked in on my Wedding day, I couldn’t hold back the tears; the creation was not only what I wanted and dreamed but somehow something even better than I could have even begun to put into words. It was my wedding day and I was blubbering over centerpieces and cascading archways. When I first came to take a tour at Cross Creek it was with Holly so it only made sense that our journey ended with Holly, she had every detail of our wedding on a perfect timeline that flowed effortlessly (all we had to do was show up)! The day of coordination with the DJ, caterer, florist, photographers, videographer, families, moving activities were all absolute perfection. P.S. Sorry again about my horrible throwing skills (bouquet toss)– the one set of instructions, try and throw nice and low, as you can see I never played sports. On your wedding day you have a bridal assistant, Kelly was mine and she was a super-star! Kelly helped us with everything we needed but she also eased my nerves by talking to me and distracting me the whole time we rode the golf cart up to the aisle where I was to walk in. Last but certainly not least Becky. Becky was my fairy godmother, no other job description fits. Becky was so on point she could hold a tissue and say bless you before I even felt the tickle to sneeze. I know the pictures we have would not have been possible without her. There are countless others that I didn’t directly name that played a huge role is creating the fairy tale our wedding became.

Stacy Testa(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-03-2018 Dishonest. Unapologetic. Heartbreak.These are the words that come to mind when I think about my experience with CCR. I still can’t believe that this has happened, as I carefully chose the venue. Where it went mostly wrong was with the flowers. I initially met with my florist, Jana from Events in Bloom, who I was very happy with and trusted. I didn’t have all of the details ready when I initially met with her, and made sure to send her pictures and more details at a later date. When I showed up to CCR on my wedding day, while it was pretty, I felt that I was crashing someone else’s wedding. The color scheme of the flowers, the way the bouquets were arranged, the color ribbon they used to tie the bouquets, the color of the flowers in the boutonnières was wrong. Everything was wrong. I never got my flower girl’s wreath to wear on her head, which I had mentioned at two separate meetings. But here’s the best part, the florist I had met with wasn’t the florist that did my wedding. It was a completely different florist. CCR never brought this to my attention, and from what I’m starting to understand, they didn’t tell ANY of their brides. CCR decided to go with a florist called Alta Fleura earlier in 2018. There was surely plenty of time to notify me and schedule a meeting with my new florist. This would have been fine with me, vendors change. I fully believe that if I had been given the opportunity to meet with the new florist, I would have gotten the wedding that I had been envisioning. CCR failed to give me this chance, and is even now trying to make it seem like these two florists work together on weddings on a regular basis. I spoke personally with my original florist, and they cut ties with her. When you spend the amount of money, time, and energy planning the wedding you’ve dreamed of for your entire life down to every little detail, you should get what you want. The most hurtful part is they they say “I’m sorry” in their emails and then start listing how it was essentially our fault that we didn’t get what we wanted. Apparently I should have said that everything with the flowers was wrong when I showed up at CCR and there was maybe less than 30 minutes left to fix everything. Because they could redo all of the flower arrangements, make a wreath for my flower girl, make new boutonnières, change the bouquets, etc. in that amount of time, right? CCR isn’t sorry, they’re sorry they didn’t get away with pulling a fast one. Do they truly care about the fact that I burst into tears on numerous occasions about how unfair this was, and that even almost a month later I still can’t talk out loud about my wedding, or even write this review without crying? I really don’t think so. Save yourself and your significant other the heartbreak, and choose any other vendor. Reviewed on 29-04-2018
Adam Duncan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-04-2018 Cross Creek Ranch is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! We were married there last weekend and we could not have asked for anything more. All of our guests keep commenting on how our wedding was a \"story book wedding\". The day we went to tour the property, there was not a question in our minds, this was where we would be married. From that day on, our wedding was stress-free. Cross Creek does it all. The design meetings to come up with all of the decor are a blast. Everyone that works there is so nice. Cross Creek works with all of the other vendors and lets you know what to do, and when to do it. We showed up for meetings for cake, catering, and flowers, answered a few questions and that was it!! So easy!!! The night before the wedding, my bridesmaids and I stayed at the bed and breakfast they have on site. It is such a sweet place! The decor is girly and romantic. The staff showed up the morning of the wedding to make breakfast and prepare mimosas for all of us. After hair and makeup, we were taken out on the property to view the chapel and stable and see all of the decorations. I was BLOWN AWAY! Everything was exactly how we had imagined it! There are several options of places to have the ceremony on site. This was the hardest decision for us and we ultimately ended up in the chapel; The best decision we could have made. It was intimate and romantic. We had a friend of ours marry us - something I would recommend to anyone considering it - and Cross Creek worked with us to make sure it would be a success. A success it was!! Cross Creek Ranch is AMAZING! If you like the pictures, you have to see it in person!!!! Reviewed on 15-04-2018

Ashlea Ballengee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-02-2018 Cross Creek Ranch was my choice from the beginning with looking at venues. I was floored by the actual venue and the different locations that are on property. There are a couple of things I struggled with in this process with them. I work full time and so does my fiance, I had a hard time finding time that matched Cross Creek's availability. Also, I know they have a lot of staff and at the end when the \"count down is on\ Reviewed on 15-02-2018
Marcy G.(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-01-2018 My daughter and son-in-law just had the most wonderful wedding day, thanks to Cross Creek Ranch. As the wedding was getting closer, I was able to enjoy the excitement. Nancy, the day-of coordinator, did all the worrying and organizing for us, Colbie and Mina , our bridal assistants and office staff, cheerfully answered any questions we had prior to the event and were there with my daughter before the ceremony to make sure she had everything she needed and Jessica with the design team, worked with my daughter and her future husband to come up with the décor that would be special and unique to them. All of the staff was very kind and attentive. When the evening turned cold, a wonderful worker (I wish I knew her name) appeared with white wraps to warm up the bridal party and waiters offered to get appetizers for the elderly people that went into the barn to warm up. Warm food and refreshments were also brought out to the bridal party during the photo session.Guests let us know that they were in awe of the beauty of the venue, they enjoyed the delicious food and desserts and were impressed by the excellence of the staff. All of this resulted in a spectacular, magical, fairy tale wedding day for Sarah and David. Weddings are seldom perfect, but this one was. Much of the credit goes to Cross Creek Ranch.

Ashly Hudgins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2017 My Husband and I were absolutely blown away by how Cross Creek Ranch makes everything so special and so simple for the bride and groom. We have been planning our wedding with them for a year and a half and were able to make payments towards our wedding each month. We could not have asked for a more friendlier staff that helped us along the way. My wedding coordinator, Becky and her assistant Robin were so calm and got me where I needed to be on time for my wedding events. I highly recommend Cross Creek Ranch to anyone and everyone! They know what they are doing! Reviewed on 06-06-2017
Lauren McAuley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-01-2017 Cross Creek Ranch was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. Every single person we worked with was amazing. They gave us more than we could have ever asked for. I had so many of our guests tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to, which was 100% because of the staff at Cross Creek. They made the whole planning process so easy and fun, especially planning it from across the country.Can't say enough great things about this group. If you are looking for a place that takes what's in your head (or Pinterest board) and brings it to life then this is the place for you :) Reviewed on 10-05-2017

They truly gave us the wedding of our dreams and delivered our vision even better than we ever could've imagined. The whole process was so easy and enjoyable- what a wedding planning process should be!!! We were blessed to have Bonnie as our designer and she is a design genius!

britt P(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-03-2017 I am so grateful that my husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding day at Cross Creek Ranch. From the moment I arrived on the property for my first tour, I fell in love. The rustic elegance of Cross Creek is complemented by the beautiful landscaping, gorgeous chapel, and reception space. My wedding was a day that I wanted to be a stress-free as possible. The staff at CCR made my husband and I feel like I was the most important people. We are so grateful to Alta, Jessica, Jean, Nancy,Margo, Kelly, Mina, Jeff, Quinton and all of the staff that was behind the scenes creating our dream wedding! You made our dreams come true!

Michelle Chancey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-02-2017 We were married yesterday at Cross Creek Ranch in the stable. From the second we went to Cross Creek Ranch for a tour, we were blown away. The grounds are breathtaking, the staff doesn't miss a beat and they really make dreams come true. We were fortunate to have Bonnie (owner) as our designer. She made all my Pinterest boards come to life. They have a huge variety of decorations, linens, and options that you can create a wedding that's perfect for you. You'll often hear about how exhausting wedding planning is. There are so many vendors and tiny details involved, it can easily become a full time job. Cross Creek Ranch makes wedding planning a breeze. All you have to focus on is inviting guests, finding a dream worthy dress and showing up! There was not one single point during our 13 month long process that I was stressed or worried about what I needed to do. My friends and family couldn't believe it!Our day was beyond perfect. The second I stepped on the grounds, they treated my wedding party as if we were the Queen of England. The staff are so kind and full of love. We started with a tour of the stable and grounds to make sure everything was just how we wanted. From that point, we enjoyed our beautiful wedding day without having to worry about timing or what to do next. Throughout the night, guests repeatedly came up to us to tell us this is the best wedding they've ever been to (obvious I think that, but I'm a little biased!). They couldn't believe how smooth everything was, how friendly all the staff were and how beautiful the chapel and stable were. I could go on for days about how Cross Creek Ranch made our dreams come true. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Reviewed on 12-02-2017
Saida Caballero(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-01-2017 Overall we had a very good experience with Cross Creek Ranch. The venue looked amazing on the wedding day. The caterers, vendors and staff that work with or Cross Creek Ranch were top-knotch. My husband and I were trying to plan the wedding from abroad and the staff worked very hard to make this as easy and painless as possible for us, despite the distance. The only two complaints (one minor and one more serious) I had were 1) (minor) In terms of design, it wasn't as easy to customize what we had in mind. However, we were always able to work something out that we were both satisfied with. 2) This was a bit more major and the reason for 4 stars and not 5, is that on the wedding my mother made arrangements for surprise visitors that she had okayed with the venue before hand. The person that helped her organize the surprise was not allowed to come into the reception area because of how she was dressed. Having learned about this after the fact, I am very embarrassed that they were kept away and have apologized. I would have been very happy for them to join the festivities, however briefly.Other than that, I do recommend the venue, but perhaps talk to your day-of coordinator and to let them know if any surprises like that were to occur.
