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!

Creekside Station is a hidden gem, that of which makes it even better. With it being surrounded by the woods, you really get to enjoy your night without the sounds of cars going by...
. 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!

We got married at Creek Side Station this past June. The venue was absolutely beautiful, well maintained and clean. Sharon and Mike are very kind and were incredibly helpful with o...
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.
