Cedar Creek

nd chef Todd made the most delicious dinner, and breakfasts. Having enough housing for everyone to stay on site was amazing. We got so many compliments and thank yous about how convenient it was. The after party was so unique and fun too, would definitely recommend to all couples. Could not more highly recommend this venue!!

g spaces to stay with groups of 5-20 on the property. Cons: - Communication was difficult. The hotel booking website did not work with our code and it wasn't ever fixed. Once you can get ahold of someone at the front desk it's easier to just book through them. Ellen the manager is fantastic to work with. - Several of our guests had to switch hotel rooms because of wasps coming up through the floor vents. - Be prepared for very little help from your wedding cordinator. Our cordinator left the wedding halfway through and our photographer was much more helpful than the cordinator. We even had to organize our own wedding entrance. There was no coordination help. All in all I would recommend Cedar Creek with some heads up about the cons, if you have patience and over communicate you'll be in good hands.

her. Spending the night in the manor house with my family and bridesmaids the night before made for the perfect day of our wedding just enjoying each other’s company. Additionally, having our ceremony at the lakeside, cocktail hour at the town hall and saloon, reception at the event barn and after party at the town hall led for maybe different beautiful views and experiences for our guests. All the staff were so nice and accommodating. We look forward to returning in the future or anniversaries or additional events!

nted as many people as possible to be able to stay on the property and Cedar Creek fit the bill! We were very appreciative of the professional and caring staff who helped make the weekend that much more special.

ended up having the entire property filled with our guests throughout the weekend, and it was so fun to have all of Cedar Creek as our little getaway with all our favorite people. We utilized every area — from our rehearsal dinner at the Chalet, the Welcome Party (and After Party) at the Town Hall, the ceremony by the lake, Reception in the Barn, and activities and hangouts ranging from the golf course to the pool. It was such a beautiful and unique experience, which is exactly what we wanted. We had guests flying in from 30+ different states, many coming from New York City, and everyone agreed this was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. THANK YOU Cedar Creek for making our dream wedding come true!!

day of coordinator was Stephanie and she was literally the best person there! She kept everything flowing smoothly, helped get our grandparents around everywhere easily, and got myself, my husband, our baby and our photographers down to the perfect sunset photo spot near the lake!!! She was ready to help with literally anything and everything we possibly needed. She even helped me bustle my dress! And the food was awesome! My family is picky with wedding food but Cedar Creek actually had great food for the reception and awesome pizzas for our after party. Everyone at Cedar Creek made it the wedding of my dreams and got so many compliments from family and friends who’d never known about it before. Such an amazing time!!! We plan to go back for our anniversary each year 💕

d bar services too, so not much left for the couple to coordinate! Took a lot of pressure off the planning. Very responsive and helpful staff.

huge help and very accommodating. They quickly answered all of the questions we had during the planning process and were there for anything we needed on the big day. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming not only to our guests, but also our vendors! Guests continually raved about the uniqueness of the different locations on the property and how gorgeous this venue was overall. We also heard from people all weekend about how delicious the breakfast was along with the food we had at our cocktail hour, reception, and after party. For our rehearsal dinner, we had their barbecue which was excellent and the chef was accommodating to any specific dietary needs/restrictions our guests had. Overall, it was all amazing from start to finish! We are so grateful to Cedar Creek for helping make our wedding day as amazing as it was and it was the perfect venue for our New Year’s Eve wedding! We can’t wait to stay there in the future!

l phone # and was basically available to answer any question I had the very second I had it. Not to mention, the facility is GORGEOUS. They were super accomodating to all the guests with any type of need being tossed their way. Our wedding went flawlessly, thanks to the support of the entire staff. The food was AMAZING and I cannot believe their chef is not at some Michelin Star restaurant in New York! It was so perfect in every way. I cannot WAIT to be invited as a guest to a wedding there. I would go in a heartbeat. Thank you Thank you Emily Dierkes! You are the best!

is the only place within reasonable driving distance of St. Louis where this was possible and boy, did they deliver! Emily was our planning contact and she was super responsive and accommodating to a variety of our requests from the start. Cedar Creek uses a web-messaging system and Emily would often respond within a business day. If she didn’t know the answer to our question, she would seek it out and get back to us. We were planning the wedding from the East Coast, so having the ability to get details on the venue was crucial. At the time of our wedding, there were two packages available, a more basic one and a more premium one, and payment was per head. The set packages made it easy to think through the details and Cedar Creek worked with us to individualize it (e.g., we requested our favorite local beers and they were able to make sure those were on offer). Another example of their hospitality is their handling of the wedding cake. My parents were driving my favorite cake from Pittsburgh to St. Louis frozen (so it would stay fresh) and Cedar Creek let them drop it off and kept it cold for us for the week leading up to the wedding. The wedding weekend itself was expertly coordinated and the staff could not have been friendlier. We had great weather (early June, low-80s) and our guests had a fantastic time exploring the grounds, using the pool, or popping into Hermann for the early afternoon – we’re still hearing about how much fun folks had 6 months later. The food wasn’t unique, but nonetheless delicious and Chef Todd was really considerate of various food allergies and restrictions. The hotel rooms and the cabin lodging was modern, having been renovated recently, although one downside is some of it is on the pricey side, particularly for the area. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our wedding day – we highly recommend Cedar Creek!

dding was.

cess, and I don't think I ever waited more than 24 hours for a response from her. We toured the venue 5 times total, and every time Emily was so patient answering my 20+ questions. We asked to shift the aisle at our ceremony site so our guests would be in complete shade, and with no hesitation Emily said yes and showed us right away the best location. Emily made it feel like I was planning my wedding with a friend and not just a vendor. Day of the wedding we had Tess as our coordinator, holy smokes was she on it. I gave her my schedule and she ran with it, making sure everything and everyone was on time. We even ran ahead of schedule! The men fished all morning while the women were getting ready in the manor house and Tess was somehow in 3 places at once, making sure everyone was happy and where they needed to be. There was a small miscommunication about who was walking me down the aisle, and Tess came straigh to me and we fixed it in 5 seconds. My entire day went off without a hitch, it really was my dream wedding. My guests are still talking about it 7 months later. Chef Todd is a genius with food, you don't have "typical" wedding food. When it came to choosing a wedding package, it was really easy. We added things on here and there, and it was never a hassle. The prices for everything weren't too expensive. You get your moneys worth at Cedar Creek. Our guests were able to enjoy fishing, hiking, and golf during their stay. The accomodations were top notch, whether our guests chose a cottage, hotel room or cabin, everyone was happy with their choice. Our wedding party stayed in the manor house the night of the wedding and it was perfect. Plenty of room, and we all had a great time. Looking back, there is nothing I would change about my venue and my wedding. The team at Cedar Creek really is the best and my husband and I have already booked our stay for our anniversary weekend next year!

ons we had in a timely manner and, was such a joy to work with! The day of coordinator took care of so much on our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about anything! Our family and friends are still talking about what a great time they had, I highly recommend Cedar Creek! Thank you for everything!

eeded for our weekend. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone getting married, especially if you want to make an enjoyable weekend to remember out of it. All of our guests still rave about it even months later.

ocktail hour, and reception sites. We booked with them a little over a year in advance with their coordinator, Emily. She was phenomenal! Emily was in contact with me all throughout our planning process and offered to meet multiple times to go over all the details. She was a huge part in making our day go smoothly. I’m so happy we chose Cedar Creek!!

e time of our lives.

te for family and out of town guests to stay, and places big enough for the bridal party to stay the night before. They will block all the rooms on the property for your wedding once you book (automatic hotel block; one less thing in the to do list, score!) We had the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on property site as well which was incredible; they were so accommodating to us. The venue & wedding coordinators completely ran my rehearsal and released each person in the processional at the right time day of! They set up all of my ceremony decorations, provided the chairs for the outdoor ceremony, etc. They had SO MANY decorations and signs I could use that I barely had to buy anything out of pocket which was a huge savings and a headache saver! I got to go in the day before the wedding at noon to decorate which was incredible as well (depends if there is a wedding the day before you). The wedding coordinator greeted all my vendors and took that load off of me. Reception was great between location in the barn, open bar provided by venue, food provided venue, etc. They provided all the table ware, flatware, table cloths, etc and cleaned them up after the reception was over (little to no clean up on my end). They offer a place for an after party after send off too which my family ate up! Stephanie and Emily were incredible and went above and beyond to meet all my needs. Stephanie even took me on a golf cart to hide me behind the doors for the ceremony so the crowd wouldn’t see me. We had access to golf carts as well to drive bridal party and us (the couple) around the venue for beautiful pictures. You won’t run shy on beautiful places for picture backgrounds! Not only is the venue a perfect site for rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and lodging but can be a get away for out of town guests. They have swimming, golf, tennis, etc. Can even use it as a little “bach trip” a few days before the wedding. 1000/10 recommend. All my guests complemented the venue and staff, and said it was the best wedding they ever been to. I am 23 years old, planned the entire wedding by myself which means I was bound to mess up but they helped me so much and the day was MORE than perfect. In booking their venue they also provided a complimentary room for me and my husband night of to go back to which was great. That also included breakfast where we got to meet the sweet owners of the venue. Long review because what they advertise can’t even compare to what they actually provide! LOVE LOVE LOVE

day of the wedding which made everything even more enjoyable. One of our favorite things about our wedding weekend was getting to stay at Cedar Creek with many of our guests which allowed us to spend more time visiting with everyone before and after the wedding. We highly recommend Cedar Creek!

to accommodate our out of town schedule. Lindsey was responsive and patient, answering every question I threw her way. If she didn't know the answer, though it may have taken a couple calls to get through. She was reassuring with everything and was able to give us the most for our money, adding on items for the cocktail hour and the dinner. Our day-of coordinator, Ellen, was an angel. She helped take so much stress of me and my family on our wedding day - keeping us on track without rushing anyone. After all, "we are the bride and groom and they couldn't do much without us anyways" as she put it. I had to set up initial meetings for our outside vendors like lighting, DJ and Bakers but Ellen and Cedar Creek handled everything day-of, which was wonderful. If there were any hiccups, I never heard anything! Cedar Creek Venue itself was perfect for my family and my desired vintage/modern aesthetic. It was wonderful having everything in one place, knowing everyone could simply walk across the street instead of needing to drive somewhere. I would recommend for everyone to bring some extra blankets or sheets as they seemed to be sparse throughout the campus. We lucked out with the weather and had a sunny and 55 degree fall day, however it was nice to know there were back-up plans set in place to ensure our day would be beautiful if we couldn't have it outside. Though this place is not as up-to-date as other venues, does not have the highest of technologies or the fanciest of table settings - it was beautiful and felt like a true destination wedding away from the hustle and bustle of daily life - which is exactly what we wanted. The patio deck on the back of the Barn was a wonderful place for everyone to step away from the heat of dance floor. The food and drink was wonderful! I was a little hesitant with in-house catering at first, however the food is incredible. We received so many compliments on how delicious everything was, from the veggies to potatoes to the chicken spiedini (a must have from Chef Tod). I do wish there was someone there to remind us during the reception to do the little things, like the complimentary champgne that we never received or to cut our wedding cake. We had a dessert table and an open bar which seemed to have taken over these to things, however it would have been nice to have a coordinator or someone working to be on top of the little things - make sure your mom or MOH have a list of must have little things to do, specifically during the reception while you're walking around and greeting everyone, or dancing the night away. Everyone we worked with from start to finish was genuine and kind and understanding that it was OUR day and no one else's and made it their mission that we got everything we could imagine. The views are incredible (especially in the fall with the changing leaves) and our guests had a wonderful time knowing everything and everyone was so close. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

ro issues. Everything was carefree and just absolutely perfect. The ability to have our guest stay on property (AMAZING HOUSING AND SO CLEAN) after our reception ended alone was so special. Everyone stayed up and continued to party and enjoy themselves safely. And Chef Todd's late night meal to keep everyone full throughout the evening was nothing short of amazing as well. My wife and I continue to go back to Cedar Creek with friends and family to enjoy their amazing food, service, and property. Cedar Creek is the only place you should consider for your special day or really any time you just want to get away and relax!!! Thank you Pat and Todd for making every experience memorable and we hope to be back very very soon. - Lucas Wittenberg

t views were breathtaking. The day of coordinator, Tess, handled so much behind the scenes and made sure everything was perfect. The bartender at our after party was INCREDIBLE and made us pizzas last minute for the end of the night. Chef Todd made the BEST dinner, so many people complimented it. Emily helped us plan every detail to make sure it would be executed well. Everyone was so accommodating and made sure our experience was a great one. I will look back at this place and this day with the fondest memories. 10/10 recommend!

had chosen. Everyone was helpful the whole day and eager to assist to what I needed and my questions. If only I can go back to relive the day again!

ould not have been happier with the location! I think what we all enjoyed the most was having our entire families and our friends stay on property with us that weekend. Highly recommend Cedar Creek and I will certainly be returning to enjoy more of the property during our free time!

wedding side of things is handled by a company out of St.Louis and no one seemed to be on the same page or know who was in charge of things. If there was a question or concern they were often pawned off on others and we had to contact numerous people before finally getting an answer. PROS: -Venue is BEAUTIFUL. -They gave a same year wedding discount that helped us to afford it. -You could come out and do as many tours with family as you want. -You can take engagement photos at the venue for no additional charge. -Anna was our coordinator for lodging and she did her very best to help accommodate us and even was able to get lower rates on the rooms. (The pricing is extremely high for what there is.) -Everything went off without a hitch day of. CONS: -Communication was less than stellar. It was very difficult to get any response on honeybook, email, or text. -Pricing was very high because you are required to use their caterer now and have an open bar which put the cost at a minimum of $85 per person and $20 for kids. -The staff was rude when asked about adjusting the chairs for the ceremony and one of them was even complaining about it to an outside person who happened to work with the best man. -Though we were told that any leftover Kraken rum from the ceremony would be free at the after party for the Bride/Groom and parents, this was not communicated to the after party staff and we were not able to drink it there. (Though they did send the bottles with us at the end of the night.) -There was supposed to be staff helping to park and direct guests but instead the guests were very confused and did not know where to go to get to the ceremony. -The guests were supposed to be able to get food at the Town Hall restaurant after the ceremony, but without communicating to the bride/groom or anyone for that matter, the Town Hall was not open for food, only drinks. -During our pre-wedding meeting, we chose the linen color for the tables and requested ivory which was currently on the tables and my fiance and I had both said Ivory and instead we got white. When that was mentioned, we were met with attitude and told there was nothing that could be done and no attempt was made to make up for the mistake. Again, overall the day was amazing and beautiful! Anna and Ellen were WONDERFUL to work with!
