I cannot say enough amazing things about Creekside Station and Sharon. My husband and I got married September 2026 after about a year of planning. From the first time we toured Creekside, we knew that is was our place. It is gorgeous, secluded, and outdoor-open all at the same time. Sharon was on top of EVERYTHING at all times. Any time we had a question, comment, concern, She always responded to us in a timely manner. Sharon is kind, caring, and organized and is such a pleasure to work with. She accommodated to everything we needed and made us feel calm and confident at all times. Sharon made our day truly perfect and we could not imagine it any other way!

Creekside Station was truly a dream for our wedding! When we started looking for venues in the Upstate New York area, we immediately fell in love with Creekside. Sharon was absolutely amazing and so accommodating throughout the entire process. She was always quick to answer any questions we had and made us feel completely confident leading up to our wedding day. Our wedding day called for rain, but Sharon reassured us that, rain or shine, we were still going to have a beautiful day—and she was absolutely right! When our guests arrived, they couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was. We also booked our caterer and DJ through Sharon, and both were fantastic! Also, as someone who seems to attract mosquitoes everywhere I go, I was a little worried about having an outdoor wedding. However, I didn’t notice a single mosquito the entire day! That’s just one example of how much thought and effort Sharon puts into making sure everything at the venue is perfect. I truly cannot recommend Creekside Station enough. It is such a beautiful venue, and we are so grateful we chose to celebrate our wedding there!

Creek Side Station is a scenic wedding venue nestled in Hartwick, NY. Ideal for soon-to-be newlyweds who desire a peaceful celebration in a picturesque setting, this hidden gem is home to 20 acres of idyllic landscapes. Your nearest and dearest are bound to fall in love with the enchanting woodland, babbling streams, and classic-meets-contemporary facilities. Inspired by your vision, the staff invites you to host your big day at this countryside getaway. Creek Side Station served as a stop on the Otego Trolley line in the early 1900s. Married owners Michael and Sharon became enamored with the rich history and natural beauty of the property and purchased it in 2002. Since then, they have been working diligently to bring fairytale weddings to life. You and your partner can exchange vows beside the rustic grape vine arbor before heading into the open-air event center to wine, dine, and dance the night away. The event center is brimming with vintage-meets-vogue charm, featuring adjustable mood lighting, chic chandeliers, a state-of-the-art sound system, and distinctive props. At Creek Side Station, the team will go above and beyond to make your wedding as magical as possible. From planning assistance to providing useful event items, they'll strive to ensure that everything runs like clockwork. Your caterer is welcome to make use of the high-quality catering kitchen, so you can rest assured that your meal will be a success.

Highlighted review.

Sitting down and writing a review for Creekside Station was ALMOST as hard as writing my vows. Because how do we wrap up in less than 3,500 characters just how incredible this venu...

e is and how outstanding Sharon was to us. Sharon is unlike any other person we’ve met. From her so open and honest (and super-fast) communication and advice, to her most immaculate attention to detail when it came to cleaning the property before our wedding day. Sharon would be on her hands and knees scrubbing to make sure the place looked incredible for us, and that was her standard. She takes such pride in what she does, and she makes you feel like the most important person on your big day. Sharon aside, Creekside Station is simply gorgeous. It has so much to offer. Gorgeous stationary trolley that was perfect for my wife and I to have a moment together after the ceremony (we also had an gorgeous marriage license signing in there AND it's so moody and perfect and is destined to give you incredible photos), large accessible bathrooms, big kitchen with everything your caterers might need, no stairs and ample parking close by so our older guests were able to move around well, picture perfect gardens and scenery, spotless tables and chairs & patio furniture, big dressing room that was able to fit both our bridals parties and parents and ourselves right before the ceremony started, WIFI available on almost the whole property, anything you could wish and hope for—it’s there. From when we first booked the venue for our wedding in August of 2025 when we already thought the place was perfect, they managed to accomplish even more upgrades. Whatever you think could be done to the place, they are 10 steps ahead and are already planning it. Our wedding took place August 8th, 2026, and despite the skies trying to rain on us, Sharon stopped at nothing to make sure we had back-up plans that wouldn’t come close to disappointing us. She was so assuring and comforting, we never had to worry. Whether she made sure all the ACs were going, to making sure there was enough water, to giving us a sweet gift, to being there for the whole day and keeping spirits high when I’m sure she was absolutely exhausted. I truly cannot say enough positive things. It was perfect, it was us, and we are extraordinarily grateful. My wife and I were so diligent in choosing our vendors and venue, we wanted to be completely comfortable with those we were around since we are an LGBTQ+ couple. Sharon took us with open arms, had hired a bartender who was just so lovely, and gave us all the answers to our questions and then some. If you’re debating on whether or not you think Creekside Station is worth it, don’t second guess it, you’ve found your place.

Creekside station and Sharon are the absolute best. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would! Creekside is beautiful. It has all the amenities you need - heat, air co...

nditioning, bathroom, removable sides to the pavilion depending on the weather, easy parking and no stairs to the facilities (for older folks). The gardens are kept beautifully with seasonal flowers and greenery. Everything is kept so neat and clean. I got so many complements on how beautiful the venue was. Sharon (the owner) makes sure your day runs smoothly. She's so accommodating and easy going. She's great to work with and has so many wonderful suggestions. She has lists of wonderful venders of which I used most of. She really is one of the reasons creekside is so great! We chose to rent the venue for two days, Friday and Saturday. We were able to set the entire place up on Friday, and just enjoy Saturday. Sharon was even kind enough to allow up to clean up Sunday morning before 10am so we didn't have to do any major things on our actual wedding day. Which, made the biggest difference in the world. I can't say enough positive things about Creekside and Sharon.

My husband and I got married here in August 2025 and we could not have been happier with our choice to do it at Creek Side Station. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking in...

every corner, Sharon is the most helpful person ever. Her communication in the whole process helped me out so much with planning, budgeting, and overall making it stress free. There are NO hidden fees or anything that will leave you wondering or guessing after meeting with Sharon. She is extremely thorough and wants the best for her clients. This venue is the biggest reason we will remember this day forever! The outdoor space with climate control, fire pit, train dressing room, spacious bathrooms, and beautiful lights at night are just a few of the many reasons this venue is well worth the price!

o say Sharon was helpful is a complete understatement. Sharon was absolutely amazing to work with, and she went above and beyond our expectations. We had the venue to 2 days, one for the rehearsal dinner and the other for the wedding itself. Our friends and family could not believe we had found such a wonderful venue. Thank you so much again! I would highly recommend Creekside Station for any event!

. The hanging lights make for a cozy atmosphere while you sit by the fire and enjoy the music playing while talking to your loved ones. Sharon is truly an amazing person and was a huge help. Her advice really did help us make our big day a great time. We will be recommending this place to everyone we know, and we will consider this place again with other big events in life.

Creek Side Station is an absolutely beautiful venue for your wedding and/or reception. We had our reception there in September 2023, and it was absolutely stunning. The property is...

amazing - the landscaping is kept perfect. We even had rain during the reception, but the tent connected to the pavilion held up well and heaters were provided to keep guests warm. The main pavilion is stunning to hold your food, main tables, bar, and dance floor and has great lighting effects to dim during the dancing portion. The renovated trolley that is set slightly away from the main pavilion is the perfect place for the wedding party to hangout while they wait for the reception to start. It is also a great changing area for the bride if needed to do an outfit change later in the night. The fire pit is a big hit for people who do not like to dance or want a place to talk. Also, there is so much parking available! Sharon (the venue coordinator) is unbelievably accommodating. She works well with all the vendors and has great recommendations for vendors in the area (Sunrise catering, Studio 1745 - makeup, Morris tent rentals, Eric Hayley - DJ, etc). We could not have asked for a better place to hold our reception and better people to help us. Thank you so much Creek Side Station!

rganizing our event, always prompt with answering any questions and quick to give guidance and tips as we planned for our big day. There is sufficient parking on sight, and reserved parking that served well for our guests that were not so stable on their feet. The inside suite was the perfect stagging place for myself and the bridesmaids to prepare to walk down the aisle. Our catering crew found the kitchen space to be of great size with suitable appliances. The grounds are well maintained and made the perfect back drop for our ceremony and pictures. Even with a June ceremony and reception with the sun high in the sky the breeze through the outdoor area created a very comfortable temperature and we were not harassed by bugs even into the evening hours. Many of our guests enjoyed the outdoor fire pit with a view of the dance floor. While we used Creek Side Station for our rehearsal dinner and wedding, I highly recommend Creek Side Station for any occasion, from graduation parties to wedding or baby showers, or anniversary parties.
