We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Cross Creek Ranch - it’s truly a gem! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the place for us. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but Katie, Heather, and Crystal ar...
e incredibly passionate and genuinely care about making your big day as special as possible. We were so impressed by their helpfulness and expertise that we were even willing to change our wedding date just to secure this venue.
Throughout the planning process, they made everything easy and stress-free. They were extremely helpful with the details from choosing table arrangements to florals to accommodating family food allergies. They also provided a great list of recommended vendors in different price ranges, and we were so happy with the ones we chose. Cross Creek Ranch is incredibly professional, communicative, and transparent about pricing.
On the big day, Crystal’s coordination was fantastic. We were able to be completely present and enjoy every moment because we didn’t have to worry about anything. We highly recommend Cross Creek Ranch for anyone looking for a venue that will make their wedding as smooth as possible!

This venue made my dream wedding come true! Crystal and her team were absolutely amazing. Everything went so smoothly because of them. I used a recommended photographer and DJ from their venue and the night ran like a well oiled machine. We had...
Cross Creek make their steak dinner for our guests and the food was great! They did our centerpiece floral arrangements and they turned out beautiful. Many things are able to be customized such as the florals, the table cloths, and napkins. The entire venue is beautiful and makes for some great wedding photos. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married!

I do not know if I have enough positive words to truly give Cross Creek Ranch and Heather the Google review that they deserve. They honestly gave my daughter (and us!!) the most stress free, easy going, beautiful dream wedding. Their all-inclus...
ive package is WORTH IT!!! I do not think we could have gotten a better deal had we tried to do everything ourselves. I know we would have been exhausted. Heather was also the perfect wedding coordinator. The all-inclusive package covered all the set up, tear down, tables, chairs, linens, food, drinks, centerpieces, which were set up for the ceremony and moved to the reception by their team. We paid a little extra for some really large floral arrangements that were just stunning. The bakery messed up our cake (the cake is one of the only things not part of the all-inclusive package), and Heather totally used her flowers to fix it!! At the end of the night the few things we brought ourselves were all ready boxed up and ready to go. It took us less than 10 min to load up our things. This was a dream wedding given by a dream team and I can't recommend Cross Creek Ranch enough. Zero complaints!!! My daughter has been in a few weddings and she said hands down her own wedding was the most stress free and I completely agree. Go see Heather, you will absolutely not be sorry.

ting our wedding at Cross Creek Ranch was incredibly smooth - they handled all the set up and breakdown so we could just focus on celebrating. Heather, in particular, has a special place in our hearts for her dedication and care throughout. The value was also exceptional, with clear and easy payment options. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and highly recommend Cross Creek Ranch to any couple or group looking for a wonderful venue with an amazing team!

If you're looking for a place that's beautiful and won't stress you out on your wedding day -- you need to book! For one, planning a wedding is stressful. That's why me & my husband paid for the all inclusive package. BIG shoutout to Katie, Cry...
stal & Heather there were such a big help in answering all of our questions and providing support in any of our concerns. The day of the wedding went by smoothly -- the event coordinator did an amazing job in communicating and guiding us on what to do. A lot of my guests were happy with the venue and how smoothly everything went. I'm glad I'm able to look back on my wedding day and know I was able to enjoy every bit of bit. I don't regret booking here!! We got married this past month March 23, 2025.

If you are still thinking about booking your wedding at Cross Creek Ranch, JUST DO IT!!! The wedding planning process was very intimidating at the start, but these ladies helped make the process as seamless as possible. Our wedding was in April...
this year, and the grounds were absolutely stunning! Their vendor recommendations are top notch (shoutout to DJ Chris Brown), and they have an assortment of decorations that can be utilized for your wedding (candle votives, signage like table numbers and reserved signs, cake stands, easels, and so much more!). Family and friends are still raving about our wedding, and it makes our hearts so happy!
KATIE - THANK YOU for your helping me understand the booking details and financials! You really helped simplify things in this crazy bride's brain which is very appreciated.
HEATHER - THANK YOU for bringing our floral inspiration to life! When I saw the bouquets and arrangements for the first time, literal tears were brought to my eyes! If just thinking about finding a florist for your wedding at CCR is stressful, please trust Heather and this team to make your vision a reality! They have amazing resources and are incredibly capable!
CRYSTAL - WHERE TO START LOL... You were a GEM! Thank you for the time you took at our planning meeting to listen to all my crazy ideas haha! Everything we DIY'd and bought for the wedding was perfectly staged - me and my family did not have to lift a finger so THANK YOU!!! You were the absolute sweetest and carried out our vision seamlessly! Bryce and I can't thank you enough!
