CreeksBend Golf Course

others should know before booking! The biggest issue we had was the ceremony. We were assured that this venue could fit 250, so our wedding of 120 would be no problem. We decided to have our ceremony inside to avoid the heat, and while walking down the aisle I noticed many of our guests standing at the back. They didn't put out enough chairs!!! They knew our exact headcount and assured us 120 could fit inside no problem, and yet we had family and friends standing for our ceremony. When they first set up the ceremony, the aisle was also so narrow that two people could not walk down together, especially a bride in a wedding dress with their father at their side. My family had to rearrange the chairs and move one vertical row to the back to make the aisle wider (this didn’t change the number of chairs so that was still on them). There were chairs for everyone for the dinner/reception portion so why didn’t they put out enough for the ceremony? Very poor planning on their part. Communication is also not the best. Obviously having never gotten married before, I wasn't sure what information they needed about the plan for the day and I had a lot of questions. It often took at least a week for them to get back to my emails and they almost never contacted me first for information. So just don't expect much guidance from them. The coordinator can also be a bit rude at times, and I barely saw her all day. However, the young women that were bartenders the night of our wedding were so kind and amazing! The food was not the best dinner ever but it was decent, especially for the price so no complaints there if you are worried about having to use their food. They have a lot of options as well. Lastly, the biggest pro is that the venue looked beautiful in all our pictures - both inside and outside. It is a beautiful budget venue and a great reception space for a smaller wedding. Even though they say they can do up to 250, I could not imagine any more than we had (120) fitting. Our guests were very tight for the dinner and like I already mentioned, they didn't have enough seats or space for the ceremony. Overall, I would only recommend CreeksBend if you are having a small wedding, need something budget friendly and can't find better, and are okay with handling things yourself and double checking the venues set up. If you have a planner or real day of coordinator (not their "coordinator") you will probably be better off. However, then you might as well use those funds for a better venue! Overall we had a lovely day and don't regret anything - I just want to make others aware of the few issues we had! For price transparency: we spent ~$7000 total, including taxes and gratiuity with all the lowest priced options and just meeting the food/drink minimum.
