We had our wedding at Creekside Cabins and Tavern on 8/31/24, and everything came together beautifully! From the start, the offsite wedding coordinator was incredibly attentive to our needs, and the onsite coordinator over the weekend was equally fantastic. Both were professional, communicative, and ensured every detail was just right.
What really impressed us was how prepared they were for the unexpected rain. Despite the weather, everything ran smoothly and turned out perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff—both at the bar and in the cabins—were professional and attentive. It was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue!
Our wedding could not have been more perfect here. The cabins are so perfect for any type of group you might have and the big cabin was PERFECT for the rowdy crowd and after party after the wedding 😂. Justin deserves all the accolades for best wedding planner/day of coordinator. He handled EVERYTHING for us and really made our day so incredibly special.
The location is drop dead gorgeous! Make every single excuse to visit or have your wedding here.
They’re really the best ❤️
Our son had a wedding weekend here including accommodations, rehearsal and reception and it was amazing. The staff are friendly and professional. They went above & beyond to make sure everything went as planned. Their experience and advice were much appreciated. They provided the food and it was all delicious. I would recommend Creekside to anyone. You really can't beat this venue and it's beautiful views!!!!
Any questions?
My wife and I got married at Cabins at Creekside in June of 2023. The experience was amazing. we're so glad that we chose Creekside. From the beginning of our first tour, we loved Justin. He was so down to earth and friendly. He made sure we had all the information we needed to make an informed decision.
On the day of the wedding, things went perfectly! Janet helped us to coordinate the event and made sure that all the details were in place. We had a delicious smoked meats dinner that the chef knocked out of the park! The table settings were beautiful. The staff did an amazing job on the setup. Justin made sure that all of the guests were comfortable and taken care of. One more exceptional staff member who needs a shout out was Josh. He was so kind, friendly, accommodating and professional. Josh and Justin went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great experience. From giving tours, to taking pictures, to recommending local hikes, giving rides to elderly family members, providing a complimentary breakfast, telling the history of the cabins, ensuring warm hospitality, and so much more, these guys took great care of everyone. Justin, Josh and Janet were the dream team!
Our guests stayed in cabins that were very cozy and had a real northwoods feel to them. My wife and I got to stay in the nicest camper I've ever been in! It was huge inside and felt like an apartment. The food at the tavern was delicious! We loved the pizza and burgers.
One of the best aspects of the wedding was the setting. Nestled into a ponderosa forest, the venue had a peaceful and natural feeling. Our guests felt at relaxed, and were able to experience the unique climate of Cristopher Creek. Right before the wedding ceremony started, one of the most magical moments took place. As our guests were being seated, an elk with two calves emerged from the forest. Our guests were awestruck as this majestic creature walked through the wedding site just moments before the ceremony. The site was perfectly decorated enough to be classy, yet minimalistic. The staff set up a beautiful! My wife was so appreciative for Josh during the set up. He checked in and made sure that everything was taken care of perfectly, so that we could focus on enjoying the day. He has an eye for detail and did a wonderful job ensuring that everything was perfect.
My personal favorite part of the wedding experience at Creekside was the people. The setting gave us a chance to connect deeply with our loved ones through hiking, bonfires, and enjoying God's beauty outside. It meant so much that Justin and Josh shared so deeply in our joy that weekend! I can't say enough great things about these two gentlemen. They treated us like family. I would highly recommend hosting a wedding at Creekside for the combination of caring staff, beautiful setting, great value and cozy accommodations.
We loved having Creekside as our venue! You CANNOT beat the views here! The whole process was seamless and communication with all the staff was always clear and very timely. Special thanks to Justin and Joy for helping us with everything for our day. We especially loved how dog friendly the venue is. The signature drinks were delicious as well as the food (we did mimosas, margaritas, and street tacos). Could not have been better!
I don't think I have ever been involved with a group of people more professional, compassionate, cooperative, or willing to go way beyond what is expected than the "family" at Creekside! From the initial "hi, can I get some information about your weddings" to Joy, to the final goodbye to Justin after my daughter's amazing wedding at the cabins, there were not any incidents that caused stress or disappointment--at least on our end. I hate to admit that we changed our minds way too many times; however, through the entire process we were met with "sure, no problem". Perhaps the best example of the character of the Creekside family is the fact that upon our initial viewing of the cabins, I made a comment that my husband had to use a motorized scooter and I was concerned that he would not be able to go up and down the few stairs at the cabin, I was told that a ramp could be built to accommodate him . I wish I had taken a picture of the walkway and ramp with rails that was constructed, it was incredible!! There were several times when Justin and his crew came to my rescue when it came to helping get my husband up to the site of the wedding. I just really don't have enough accolades to express how effortless they made the entire wedding. My deepest appreciation to the whole "Creekside family "
Everything about our wedding at Creekside could not have been more perfect! We rented out all of the cabins and had our closest friends and family spend the weekend with us. We started with our rehearsal dinner and had the Mexican food which was so delicious.
Saturday was our wedding day and everything came together seamlessly. We did the bbq option for our dinner and the brisket was amazing. The bartenders made the best Palomas! The entire staff at Creekside made the whole experience stress free and executed everything that we asked for so perfectly. Driving out to the rim for our sunset pictures was by far the highlight of the weekend. It was absolutely breathtaking!
Justin and Josh were an absolute dream team and took care of everything we needed right down to running around looking for our dog's bow tie when we forgot it in one of the cabins. No detail was too small for them not to care about. By the end of the weekend we felt like they were a part of the family and we cannot wait to come back and stay with them again!
I cannot recommend this venue enough!! The employees were so kind and helpful during from the planning process to the execution. It was everything I have dreamed of and more! Justin, Josh, and the rest of the team were amazing the day of as it rained about 3 hours prior to my ceremony. Once I saw the final product I was blown away. I will definitely be back to stay a weekend:)
Justin is fantastic! Very accessible and always helpful. Fun too! He made sure we had everything we needed and helped make our special day even better!
We planned for spring wedding and Mother Nature said no and we got a winter snowy wedding. Everyone at Creekside pulled together day and night to move ice , snow and mud for our ceremony. They welcomed us like family and we’re there for us every step of the way. Ceremony was beautiful ! We had stunning views with snow capped mountains in background. Reception was moved inside due to mud, but coordinators pulled it off and it was beautiful. We had the fire pits going outside for drinks and dancing inside !Food was awesome ! It’s a must a for your wedding site! You’ll love the area and the staff!
