Every staff member was welcoming, friendly, and devoted to giving us the wedding of our dreams! Rebecca, our event coordinator at Creekside, went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. She walked through every venue decision with us and brought our vision to life! I am extremely detail-oriented and don’t typically delegate tasks because I tend to doubt that most people can meet my high expectations. That being said, Rebecca was thorough, precise, and organized, and I felt fully confident with delegating what I could to her and having her coordinate so much for our wedding – she went above and beyond and exceeded any expectations I had! (I think that is one of the highest praises I can offer anyone). Creekside was the perfect venue and Rebecca pulled our wedding together exceptionally. I would 100% recommend Creekside for a wedding – or any event!

Our daughter was married here in mid-October. Rebecca and her team were outstanding. Actually, that word is inadequate, she never missed a beat! They were pleasant, kind, efficient, patient, and calm. Rebecca and her team were simply the best we could have imagined. I would ask her immediate supervisor to give her/them kudos for a job perfectly done!!! We will recommend it!
