My husband and I cannot recommend Ashton Creek Vineyard enough! Maria was so fun and easy to work with and made the process so simple and was extremely flexible. We loved that they provided chairs and linens and we could get our food and alcohol through them. Our guests absolutely loved their pina colada wine slushies and the food! The venue is beautiful and has multiple ceremony site options, which we loved. The bridal and groomsmen suites were also perfect for getting ready in the morning and the barn made for beautiful bridal portraits. We also loved having our cocktail hour on the patio and the guests enjoyed the fire pits out there during the reception. It truly was the most magical, perfect day! We cannot thank the staff at Ashton Creek enough :)
Katie handled everything beautifully. We had a great time, the facility was beautiful and the food is INCREDIBLE.
Ashton Creek was on our list of potential ceremony/reception sites because of its proximity to where we live and to I-95 since we had so many out-of-town guests coming. Once we saw the space and met the event staff, we were sold. The outdoor ceremony space (and having options for where outside to hold the ceremony) was lovely and the reception space was perfect for our 100 guests. We loved how the reception space had doors that opened to the patio so guests could mingle and get some fresh air (and so we could have some air flow during the reception). The event staff was helpful throughout the entire process and we felt we received great value for what we paid. Included in the price was a day-of coordinator, Erica Hinkle, who did a phenomenal job and put our mind at ease. The Ashton Creek staff was very helpful, especially for our rehearsal and on the wedding day. We look forward to many future glasses of wine here to remember the special day Ashton Creek helped us create!
I found Ashton Creek Vineyard while venue searching for our wedding and I am so glad we did! The venue is perfect and beautiful for a wedding and the staff did such an amazing job! You get to pick a package for your wedding which comes with day of coordination and certain decor options! It is a great deal. We loved everything!!!!
Ashton Creek Vineyard was an absolute dream to work with and to have our wedding! Katie answered every question I had as a bride in a timely manner and constantly made me feel at ease. They were so accommodating with our few requests and never let any of us worry about how the day was going to go. Their event packages and bar selections were top notch and they hire the absolute finest coordinators to conduct weddings at their venue. I’ve recommended all of my friends planning their weddings to look into Ashton Creek - we were just blown away at the final product of our day. Can’t wait to go back and visit (frequently) to enjoy all of their wine and the awesome kitchen menu! Thank you AC!!
I’m so so happy I chose Ashton Creek! The whole staff was always willing to help with anything I needed and make sure all my questions were answered. Ethan was an extra great help in making the day go smoothly. The venue offers so much flexibility in how you set up and can customize to whatever you envision for your day. My day was absolutely perfect!
The staff at Ashton creek are amazing!! The package I chose gave me a day of coordinator who helped me finalize all the little details that I had never thought about. My wedding was during COVID and we had a set back a week before the big day. My coordinator contacted me right after finding out letting me know she was in contact with Ashton creek to figure out all my options. They got back to me quickly and talked me through all my options to figure out what was best for us. The day of my coordinator and her staff worked extremely hard to decorate the barn exactly how I wanted it and they did an amazing job! I was worried before the wedding thinking I needed to get a wedding planner and some extra staff to help her put everything together and deal with all the vendors. She had everything handled, the barn look even better than I imagined and as far as I know there were no hiccups the day of. I highly recommend Ashton creek!!
The venue first off is beautiful! It has a gorgeous lawn with a dramatic staircase, large outdoor patio for cocktail hour, and breath taking rustic
reception hall. The staff is amazing and from day 1 was very communicative and pleasant. They were super accommodating of all our requests and really wanted to make sure everything was perfect on my day. Unfortunately it rained and we had to change a lot of plans that same day but they really stepped it up and made the day so beautiful. 100% would recommend.
Ashton Creek and their team helped to make our wedding day a dream! Ethan and Lori were very helpful, kind and welcoming from the first time we came to tour the vineyard as a potential wedding venue. If I ever had a question, they were quick to respond back which made the whole planning process a lot easier. Our original wedding date was affected by COVID and rescheduling to a new date was not a problem at all. Everything about the venue was perfect for us. The bridal/grooms suites were such a nice place for hanging out and getting ready the day of. The grounds of the ceremony area and vineyards were beautifully kept and landscaped. The reception hall can be used for an inside ceremony site if it rains and their veranda was the perfect place for our cocktail hour and cigar bar. Their selections for the bar were top notch and they were very accommodating when we picked out our bar package. The tasting room was open to the public during our ceremony - something that I originally did not love - but my husband and I and our guests did not notice it at all! Also, the day-of coordinating service that is included in the price of the venue is SO worth it. After planning out all the details, it was so nice to be able to not worry about anything on the day of. We cannot recommend Ashton Creek enough and would not have changed a thing about our wedding!
The only thing better than Ashton Creek’s stunning wedding venue is its wonderful staff. My wife and I were immediately sold as soon as we walked in the door. We were always treated with the utmost kindness and respect and the staff went out of their way to make our big day perfect. They worked with us to make a last-minute call on having the ceremony outdoors and luckily the weather held out for us. We had the wedding of our dreams at Ashton Creek and look forward to continuing to visit in the future. Thanks for everything!
We can't say enough good things about the Ashton Creek family! First off, the venue is absolutely breathtaking!!! Perfect for a wedding!!! One thing we admired the most, was the people and how authentic everyone was. As soon as we met Ethan and Laurie, we knew this was our perfect spot! :)
We received some devastating news about my father a few months after booking our wedding date and shared everything with Ethan and Laurie at Ashton.... who were so kind to offer the love, help and support we needed at that time. They didn't hesitate at all when we requested to move up the wedding date 6 months- they accommodating all of our needs and did whatever they could for us. The entire day/night of our wedding was magical and we wouldn't change a thing! Thank you to the Ashton Creek Family!!!!
Rachel and the staff at Ashton Creek Vineyard were wonderful and accommodating. Rachel was very quick to respond to emails and was so flexible and easygoing throughout our entire planning process and day of our wedding. With many viewings, walkthroughs, and tastings, Rachel and her staff truly did everything possible to make our vision come to life. The venue space is absolutely gorgeous and we are grateful that we found such a perfect space to hold our 185 friends and family comfortably. Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect and our guests are still raving about the venue and the kindness of the Ashton Creek staff. I highly recommend Ashton Creek Vineyard, you will not be disappointed.
Rachel at Ashton Creek Vineyard and the staff were wonderful! With scheduled beverage tasting and multiple viewings of the venue, we were able to really make this experience unique to us. The staff helped us make our vision come to life. Even with the cancelling of our Plan A, the result of an unforeseen event, during a prior meeting with Rachel we had worked out a contingency plan that was swiftly put into place and then executed perfectly. It was so well done it was as if the plan was to hold both the ceremony and reception indoors from the beginning. The contingency plan worked out perfectly, it truly helped having the indoor option since we decided on the day of that indoors would be best. Looking back, everything truly worked out and was better than we could have imagined, we could not have done it without them! Thank you for making our wedding a day to remember.
The space given to write a review of Ashton Creek isn’t nearly enough space to thank them appropriately. My daughter was married at Ashton Creek this weekend and it was nothing short of perfect. As a mom of 8 children (4 of which are married) I have used many area venues for events. Ashton Creek stands out as the best. The customer service given by every member of their team was amazing. They were professional, caring, kind and hard working. Every question we asked was answered. Every request we had was honored (with a smile!). The entire day ran smoothly which created an amazingly relaxing experience. From cleanliness to customer service, This is truly a hidden gem!
amazing experience
We had our wedding at Ashton Creek Vineyard on Saturday and had to write a review right away. Rachel is amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The venue is so gorgeous and you have so many options to really make it your dream wedding. Our wedding day was perfect and I am so happy I chose Ashton Creek. People are still raving about how pretty the venue was and how nice everything looked. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all on site so it was really convenient for us and our guests. There is also a bridal suite and grooms room to get ready in which was amazing. If you decide to have your wedding at Ashton Creek, you will not be disappointed! Rachel is the best and I cannot thank her and the staff at Ashton Creek enough for everything they did!
Ashton Creek was a beautiful venue for our recent wedding. The space really does the work for you. Lori and Lauren were such a pleasure to work with and understanding of changing plans, etc. The bartenders provided by Ashton Creek in the bar package were very pleasant and professional. We would recommend Ashton Creek Vineyards without reservation.
Ashton Creek Vineyard was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. The outdoor area, getting ready rooms, deck and indoor space were created and decorated with much thought and care. We had 150 guests and it was the perfect fit in the reception space. Rachel is awesome and flexible and is always willing to help however she can! They supply the tables and chairs which also takes the burden off renting those from another company. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved having our reception at Ashton Creek Vineyard - not only is it gorgeous but everything is top of the line. Rachel was the best to work with, very accommodating, helpful and willing to go the extra mile for us in anyway she possibly could. Not to mention the photos we got in the vineyard were amazing. We would highly recommend having your wedding and/or reception at Ashton Creek!
Excellent and beautiful wedding venue.👍🏻😊
I absolutely loved this venue, they were super easy to work with and coordinate with. Rachel is so helpful, and willing to do anything and whatever to make sure your day goes as planned. I could not have asked for more. 5 Star treatment..for a good price!
Ashton Creek Vineyard was a BEAUTIFUL venue for our June wedding reception. Rachel was incredible in answering all our questions throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, she met my family in the morning to allow them to drop off our decorations prior to our offsite ceremony. The tables were arranged exactly as we wanted before our caterer arrived. Because we were not required to use certain photographers, caterers, etc and were able to bring our own alcohol, we saved so much money compared to other venues. The indoor space was beautiful- it required barely any decorations. Having the patio was an added bonus. Our guests enjoyed hanging out on the rocking chairs and around the cocktail tables. We also were able to bring corn hole boards. Thanks for making our day wonderful (:
Rachel was amazing! She was great with communication and pitched in to help the day of when we had issues with other vendors. My only cautionary advice is what you get for the price. You are literally only renting the space and table set up. It comes out to be pretty expensive when paying for your catering separate. For me however this was a non-issue because my husband is Indian and it's not like any of the area in-house caterers were experienced with indian food. Again, loved Rachel, she has a great personality and s easy to work with!
We absolutely LOVED Ashton Creek Vineyard for our wedding venue! The outdoor ceremony area is gorgeous, as well as the vines. It was perfect for what we envisioned for our wedding day. The indoor reception area was amazing and gorgeous as well! The exposed beams, chandeliers, fireplace, and everything else is just stunning. The family that owns the venue was always very helpful and accommodating for what we needed. We seriously appreciated their flexibility when our wedding day had to move up one day due to the arrival of Hurricane Matthew! Thank you so much!
We held our reception in Ashton Creek Vineyard's Event Center, and it was the perfect setting! We signed our contract before the building was fully constructed but were confident that the Thibault family (owner) would have everything finalized before our big day, and we were right! The rustic, exposed wooden beams and columns, numerous windows and glass doors, and even a little bar area makes this a very versatile space. The Thibaults have poured their hearts and souls into creating a one-of-a-kind venue that this area desperately needed. I communicated mainly with Rachel, who was very responsive and always happy to answer my thousands of questions!
While my now-husband and I were anxious about spending a pretty good part of our budget on the venue, we knew that that was typical for most weddings these days. The brand new facility, complete with beautiful bathrooms, a catering kitchen, and even separate bride and groom suites on the lower floor do provide a lot of bang for your buck. There's also a spacious back deck/balcony that wraps around the whole back of the building, so it was nice for guests to get some fresh air and lounge where they pleased. The venue arranged tables and chairs according to our requests/seating chart, which was really convenient because we didn't have to set them up ourselves ahead of time (they are not responsible for how you want your place settings :) ). They have a huge inventory of tables and a high number of chairs (for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception), which was nice because I didn't have to rent any! Additionally, we were allowed to bring in our caterer of choice.
We're so glad that we chose this venue for our reception, and couldn't be happier with the customer service! Not to encourage a habit, but when we accidentally left a rental item behind, they were kind enough to drop it off at the rental company for us. Just goes to show that they go above and beyond. We'll be back when the tasting room next door opens, and can't wait to return!
