Cross Creek Ranch

ss Creek made sure we were kept in the loop about decisions that needed to be made and were there to guide us through every step of the planning process. The food from the catering company they work with was delicious, and they were flexible with our requests. The decor they provided was stunning and exactly matched our vision, and design coordinator Lisa was a huge part of that -- she brought our Pinterest board to life! The day-of coordinators Jenn and Val were absolutely phenomenal, and made sure our day was truly special. Every little detail was thought of, and the venue itself is obviously gorgeous! Absolutely would recommend coming here if you want top-tier customer service and attention to detail. Thank you!

le, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Every detail — from coordinating with our vendors to making sure our timeline flowed smoothly — was handled with care and professionalism. Their support made it possible for us to fully enjoy our day without stress - they provided everyone but the photographer and officiant for us, which made planning all the easier! The space itself is stunning, both inside and out, and provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Guests are still raving about the decorations, the food, and how smoothly everything ran. We felt so taken care of — like we weren’t just another event, but a couple whose wedding truly mattered to them. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers not only beauty but professional, helpful in every way, and just perfect - Cross Creek is it. Thank to Lisa, Valerie, Amber, George, Caleb, and everyone on the Cross Creek team that helped make our special day just unforgettable!

dream wedding come to life. Everything from the decor to the food, music to the guest experience, they have it down to a science. I truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience. Their communication skills regarding what vendor will be reaching out next to what I should be working on each month to help the process go smoothly was a life saver. I am beyond blessed to have found the perfect venue and team. I will forever cherish my wedding day. Thank you Cross Creek Team!!!

ou. From start to finish they were there to help me plan and execute our special day. Highly recommend.

s very responsive, accommodating, and so enthusiastic (in a lovely and not overbearing way!). Not to mention that we planned our whole wedding remotely from CT and TX! Holly, the general manager, was so great on our tour day with helping us decide which venue was best for our guest count/ideas and on the day after our wedding as we picked up leftover items. Lisa did a phenomenal job with design, and this is coming from someone who felt a little overwhelmed/unsure on vision for the wedding. She took what ideas we did have and fleshed them out beautifully. (Not to mention she also saw my look of being a bit out of sync with our moms on the design day and advocated for my design choices along with my husband - thank you!). Haley did an awesome job at keeping us in the loop throughout the planning process and answered all of our questions/coordinated with vendors in a timely manner, even when there was an unexpected change in the cake vendor. Alicia and Annika were our day of coordinators and are so, so lovely. They made us feel cared for, touched base with us on any needed changes on the day of the wedding, and handled all of the little details with an unbelievable amount of ease. They even took a photo for our photo guest book and left a sweet message - we're so happy we had them. Bria was fab as a bridal assistant and made me feel so comfortable (she also made me laugh a TON). The vendors - Alessi Bakery, Alta Fleura, Vesh catering - were all great (our guests commented multiple times on the quality of food and cake!). You can tell CCR loves what they do and they do a fantastic job with it.

awless, even as we navigated planning from out of town and facing two hurricanes in one month. We originally booked our wedding for January 2025 in August of 2023 while living outside the Tampa area, but after moving to Tampa in July of 2024, the team made our transition seamless. Our event liaison, Haley, was always available to answer questions with kindness and patience. Our lead coordinator, Klaudia, ensured that everything on our wedding day ran smoothly, making the final preparations stress-free. Our assistant coordinator, Valerie, was incredibly supportive throughout the day, continuously making my husband and me feel special. Bria, our house mom, created a warm and welcoming environment while we got ready, and my bridal assistant, Amber, was so attentive and reassuring in moments when I felt overwhelmed. The attention to detail extended to every aspect of our wedding. Our florist, Alta, crafted the most breathtaking bouquets and boutonnières, putting so much heart into her work. Lisa, our design lead, guided us effortlessly through the decor selection process, offering a wide range of options to fit any style or vision. The venue itself was absolutely stunning—pristine, well-maintained, and simply magical. The team was prepared for any weather scenario, ensuring a perfect day regardless of conditions. Our reception space was elegant, and the cocktail hour felt like a scene from a movie. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was. To top off our incredible experience, my husband and I stayed on the property in their charming “Little House” for our honeymoon night. It was the perfect ending to our celebration, allowing us to enjoy our sparkler exit and retreat to a cozy, romantic space right on-site. The women at Cross Creek Ranch are truly exceptional. They are dedicated to supporting, uplifting, and celebrating their couples, making the entire planning process and wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. If you are looking for a wedding venue that will exceed your expectations in every way, look no further—Cross Creek Ranch is simply the best!

qually exceptional and exceeded my expectations. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The venue looked breathtaking, exactly as I had envisioned. The design assistant, Andrea, the lead coordinator, Amber, and the entire team at Cross Creek Ranch made my dream wedding a reality!

ng they were .

to work with. I HIGHLY recommend doing your wedding at Cross Creek!

he venue is STUNNING, there is not one bad thing I can say about CCR and their staff and vendors.

anning was seamless. They are an all-inclusive venue, meaning they have vetted venders they work with that I did not have to go find, such as the fresh florals (Elsa is perfection and saw my vision), the DJ (DJ PT was so on top of his game and kept the party going), VESH (everyone raved about dinner), Alessi (my gluten free cake and the whole dessert bar was demolished by my guests), decor/ design of the whole wedding (Lisa saw my vision with the help of Pinterest and gave me a beautiful design), and my lead coordinator (Valerie with the assistance of Holly were a dream team; I did not worry about ANYTHING the day of my wedding). I basically only had to find my photographer, alcohol, hair/make up, and transportation for my guests independently. The whole team at Cross Creek was very responsive and quick throughout the whole process; they answered all my questions and helped me every step of the way. I spoke to many people along the way, but everything was written in my portal and everyone seemed to have great communication that there was nothing missing or have fallen through the cracks. I felt like I could reach out to any of them at any time during planning and they were able to help. The whole team was professional, but SO welcoming and accommodating. They really listened to my ideas. My wedding was a DREAM, despite being on a pretty low personal budget. Another great thing about Cross Creek Ranch is you are able to have a STUNNING wedding on a strict budget, like I did; it is very affordable. If I had to do it all over again, I would pick Cross Creek Ranch again. THANK YOU all for giving me and my husband a gorgeous wedding and it was great working with you. I wish you all the best.

She made my daughter's special day even more special! She has made a friend for life. All the staff very friendly and helpful, DJ spot on!! All the guest raved that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, loved the ranch!!

can honestly say it did not, thanks to everyone at cross creek. Our day was better than I could have ever imagined, everything ran smoothly, they thought of every little detail from giving us water between pictures to keep us hydrated to tissues labeled “happy tears” for when my maid of honor gave her speech. The level of professionalism was beyond anything we could imagine. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful, all of our guests were in awe! My husband and I are extremely glad we chose to get married there and grateful for everyone who had a part in making our day so special!

th every penny. The package included catering as well as floral, and you can feel confident in these as well as their other preferred vendors. This venue is able to transform to match whatever style you can imagine. Traditional or themed, the space is clean and classy and their designers will listen to what YOU want and tailor every detail down to the furniture in order to fully realize your vision. The staff is attentive, friendly, and of course professional. They made us feel special with each interaction. Holly is amazing. There were some staff changes during our planning, but we were so happy to have our event land in her exceptionally capable hands. Her warm enthusiasm matched our excitement and it is clear she is passionate about what she does. Cross Creek set a high standard for quality and made the whole planning process as well as the event itself practically stress-free! Overall we felt truly pampered, and my mother highly recommends them: so you can focus on enjoying your special day, and confidently let Cross Creek handle the rest.

d this venue to anyone looking for a medium-large sized wedding. It was worth every dollar spent.

e one for me. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony at the Enchanted Forest and the ceremony in the Carriage Stable House. Day of, everything was incredible. They think of every little detail for your day. This place is all-inclusive, meaning they booked everything minus the officiant and the photographer. IF YOU ARE DEBATING ALL INCLUSIVE, DO IT. They know what they are doing. We had multiple design meetings that took pictures and ideas we liked to create our own unique look. They do all the table stuff (I did not make anything minus a few specific things, like my MOH painted my bar signs), they have all the signs, decorate everything. I even specially brought a mirror in for their calligrapher to turn into the seating chart. You have a team that is extremely dedicated to making your day perfect. Haley helping to ensure my bar was ready, Lisa helped with design, and Holly was my lead coordinator, and she was INCREDIBLE. Even day of staff made sure we were always comfortable. The day was absolutely perfect. They create timelines to ensure you do everything you want to get done and add some time post ceremony for just the couple to be alone. I never felt overwhelmed or concerned over what I should be doing. Throughout planning they always ensured I had things done when they should be. They had it all planned and covered from the second that we signed the contract to when our friends picked up our things the day after. Even after the wedding guests could not stop talking about the venue and the staff. I cannot say enough good things about Cross Creek Ranch, the venue itself, the staff, my wedding day, and the preferred vendors. I thank CCR so much for making our day so incredibly special. BOOK YOUR WEDDING AT CCR, YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER.

ing and was there every step of the way to answer questions or provide support. They have such an efficient way of running things that on my wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing besides having a good time. I highly recommend everyone get married at this venue!

gn team & coordinators were so helpful and made sure that everything was exactly how we envisioned. Annika, Jennifer, Lisa, Andrea, and Haley were such a pleasure to work with during this journey. The team is so detail-oriented and efficient, they go above and beyond. They even saved us leftovers and brought us appetizers during cocktail hour. I would recommend CCR to anyone and have been since we booked it!

ng. They also thought of EVERYTHING. We had scheduled alone time on our wedding day, they brought us the food and drinks from cocktail hour since we had to miss that time for photos, they even sent us home with a to-go box of all the food and desserts from dinner because they (rightly) guessed that we wouldn't eat much since the day goes so fast. I especially want to shout out our day-of coordinator, Alexis W. Alexis was kind, fun, poised, and extremely on-the-ball with everything our entire wedding day. She was our wedding MVP and we can’t say enough good things about her! Our experience with Cross Creek Ranch could not have been better and I would recommend them to anyone.

y to plan my perfect wedding. Can’t recommend them enough

hey had stellar communication with us and were very organized. They organize and help coordinate your vendors, spend a few hours going over your dream designs and how they can bring those to life in your design meeting, and have an impeccable follow-up throughout the months leading up to your day. They connected us with Jean King from Monarch Events and Design for our fresh florals and they turned out to be so beautiful. She made our entire vision come to life. I've heard that wedding planning and coordinating all of the vendors, especially on the day of the wedding, can be very stressful! However, we did not experience any of that having Cross Creek Ranch as our vendor. We decided to get married at their newest site, The Oak Hall and it was GORGEOUS. That part of the property is stunning, quiet, and magical with all of the plants and trees. On the day of the wedding, we had zero worries. We had Christine as our house mom and she was so patient and helpful while we got ready. Valerie was our lead coordinator and I highly recommend her for anyone's wedding! She had constant communication leading up to the wedding, followed- up on every question I had, and was so KIND and loving to us on our actual wedding day. She was so passionate about our wedding and making it so special for us, that I felt like she was a part of our family. The entire wedding team staff was also so wonderful and truly wants your day to be so special. And it means the world to have a whole team behind you on such a big day! They connected us with Grant and Hemond & associates, and Rafael was our DJ. 10/10 recommend Rafael if you truly want to have an awesome and lively party. I cannot thank the whole CCR team, Bonnie and Sean enough for making literal wedding dreams come to a reality.

y possible. If there was an issue, I would have never known because they made the entire day flow seamlessly. We could not have picked a better place to have the wedding of our dreams!

a literal godsend and I don't know how people get married without planners. The fact that it's all inclusive is a mega plus. The grounds are amazing. I got to live my fairy princess dream wedding. Nothing bad happened. Lisa who did our design meeting got everything perfect. You literally pick everything you want in a 4-5 hour design session and they take care of everything. I loved that all the florals (sans the bouquets and boutonnieres) were silk. No waste and sustainable. On the day of the rehearsal, I saw something another wedding had and I wanted it and Holly made it happen. There was a little issue with my brother's boutonniere and Holly fixed it in 2 minutes. Bria, our house mom, took care of us in the morning. Haley helped me gather my things; it felt like I was a celebrity. There were so many people there to make sure everything was perfect. Anita helped the boys and they all talked to each other on head sets to communicate and make sure that everyone was aligned. The timing was incredible. They talked and handled any and all things regarding vendors. They got us in touch with the preferred caterer so we could do our tasting. They linked us up with Alta for florals. They made sure the DJ reached out to us. They do all the setup and decorating and teardown. They kept everything on time. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS. The entire team that supported me and my husband that day made it perfect. I had the best time. I want to get married exactly in the same way 100 times. Everyone said that we had an amazing wedding and it wouldn't have been as great if we didn't go with CCR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! We love you Holly!

n to detail and how perfectly everything was organized. Our day of planner, Megan, was so considerate of everyone’s needs. All the vendors were amazing too, especially Vesh catering and Rad red photography. I just wish I could do it all over again!!! A day to remember FOREVER! Choose this for your big day and you won’t regret it.

ey wanted to make sure everything was to our liking and satusfaction. They met all our goals and did all the heavy lifting from when we decided to book with them. Would definitely recommend.

dream wedding come true at the last minute when the sun came out! The whole team was involved from my lead coordinator Valerie, the design team, the decor team, the other coordinators and my house mom Christine. They exceeded my expectations and truly gave us a wedding straight out of a fairytale. All of the vendors and outside resources they use from caterer to bakeries, to florist, and DJ are top notch and myself and all of our guest could not rave about them enough. I could go on and on but they truly made getting married the easiest and most stress free process I could’ve wished for!

are so grateful for Alexis our coordinator, the whole design team, Vesh catering and Alessi bakery, our fabulous DJ and everyone else who played a role in making 12/4/22 the best day of our lives.

ng anywhere else. Megan and Valerie were AMAZING the entire day of the wedding. Cannot say enough wonderful things about them! My guests raved about Quentin during the reception! You can tell that everyone loves their job at cross creek and wants you to have an amazing wedding. Made my day stress free. I can't wait for my wedding pictures to relive the day again!

make up took so long, and they still managed to fit everything in! They were incredible!

ed over Zoom. I was nervous since I couldn't see anything in person until the day of, but it was beyond my wildest dreams- just beyond beautiful. The day of I felt so cared for by the bridal assistant, the concierge (Holly was AMAZING!), and just the whole staff. All my guests were RAVING about the venue and how gorgeous it was. Would recommend this venue to everyone!

our wedding planner to the house mom they were amazing! My mother had surgery 2 months prior to our wedding and the way they took care of here and made sure she was looked after so I could enjoy our special day is beyond anything I could’ve ask for. Thank you for making our wedding day a magical experience!

l of the staff involved were friendly, outgoing and easing going. The food (vesh) was delicious as well as the cake (artisticwhisk). The DJ (Thomas) played all the right songs and really played our style of music. We went with a recommended photographer (radred) who made the process of photos fun and relaxing- I hope to use them again! Truly, nothing could have gone better and not one thing I would have changed! If you want a venue that deliveries all that it offers- this is your place!

hey use were phenomenal. If I ever have the opportunity to use cross creek ranch as my venue for future events 100 % I will!

tter than we could have imagined. Each step of our process was easy and seamless from Nicole taking us on a tour and ensuring we saw The Enchanted Forrest ceremony site first knowing the impact of the space, to Lisa and the design team bringing our garden party to life, to Annika and team ensuring our day went smoothly and according to our timeline. Cross Creek has the best included vendors including catering and pastry chef as well as florals and DJ. The thought of hiring all our vendors was a daunting task but Cross Creek made it extremely easy even for vendors not included with the package. The staff was always friendly, patient, and accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. They say a bunch of hands touch your wedding and it’s true but all hands involved truly care and get to know the couple like family versus another number. We were fortunate to meet most of the team that had a part with our big day including Jill who was always willing to answer our billing questions and Helena our wedding concierge always willing to find us answers to any questions we had leading up to our big day. I truly can’t recommend Cross Creek Ranch enough.

nt vendors. Once we found Cross Creek, all that stress disappeared. Their all inclusiveness is really what sold us on them. Not to mention that the property is just absolutely gorgeous! With our schedules (both of us work overnights) it would have been nearly impossible for us to meet with all the vendors. We were able to have just a few meetings, most of which were able to be done over the phone or Zoom, to make the bigger decisions. Each and every one of Cross Creek’s staff were absolutely amazing. Super friendly, super helpful, super professional. They really care about giving you the wedding of your dreams. You’re not just another couple to them. We had a smaller wedding (45 guests) so we booked the French Country Inn. It was exactly the type of feeling we were looking for and we had so many of our guests say how much they loved the intimate feeling of the French Country Inn. Overall, our wedding was everything we wanted and more. We can’t thank you enough Cross Creek!!

at the French Country Inn at Cross Creek Ranch offered. Shortly after touring, we received a hand-written thank you letter which sealed the deal for us. We were quickly assigned a point of contact and the planning process began. The only hiccup that we came across during the planning process was the turnover of employees which caused minor confusion. The leave of our designer was the most frustrating because approximately a week after my meeting with her, she resigned. We were provided with another designer, Lisa, who was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Lisa shared décor items that were not mentioned during the first design meeting- this was huge for me because I was not satisfied with the original items provided by the prior designer. The caterer, baker, DJ, and florist vendors were all pleasant to work with. My Lead Coordinator was Valerie and WOW, she is great. Valerie was super attentive, helpful, and genuine. We did not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding- if there were any hiccups on our wedding day, we did not notice and never heard about it. Valerie and the Assistant Coordinator, Alexis, worked very hard at making sure we were taken care of. They were both superb! Also, the staff the day of the wedding were impressive. Our guests had so many positive things to say about the day. Mostly, that the staff was super attentive and on-point the entire time. Also, we received several compliments from our guests about the venue. Specifically, how intimate and romantic it was. The guests also loved the food provided by Vesh. All in all, the service provided day of was a 10 out of 10. The price of the all-inclusive venue was reasonable. Be prepared to pay additional if you would like certain décor items such as different chairs, french doors at the ceremony, lace runners on the reception tables, etc. Also, some of the dinner entrée options were additional. The allowance ($500) for the florist was not sufficient so prepare to pay additional for your fresh flowers. We are sure all of this is very common with an all-inclusive venue and truly felt the final price was reasonable. One tip, if you are paying monthly for the venue, do not pay online or via phone because the convenience fee is approximately $30-$40. Mail in a check to steer clear of the additional cost. In conclusion, if you are looking for a reasonably priced venue with an experienced, knowledgeable staff and a flawless wedding day, we recommend Cross Creek Ranch. Oh, & it was helpful receiving texts (about random marriage reminders) throughout the planning process and they are very active on Instagram which was fun to follow!

ad questions we were able get a response from them within 24 hours. Right away we received a month-to-month timeline, so we new what to expect moving forward from CCR and what we should be doing on our end of things. About a month out we met with our Day-Of Coordinator, Megan Flaherty. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She and their Designer, Lisa Parsons, went through every detail with us to make sure we all were on the same page and happy with the checklist. Flash forward to the day of our wedding and oh what a breeze it was! If I could name the entire team I would! My girls and I got ready on the CCR property and Christine made sure we were happy with food and beverages all day long. Megan and her Assistant Coordinator, Emily, took over once the festivities started and the two of them had everything under control from staying on top of the schedule to making sure everyone was happy. The support staff was equally friendly to guests. It was truly a perfect setting for a February wedding in FL!

ber actually took the time to get to know the both of us to ensure all of our desires came true. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was in the Enchanted Forest as well as how much fun the Stable House reception was. Every one was so personable up until the “I do’s” that it was they were celebrating with us. Would recommend to any and everyone who wants the absolute perfect wedding experience.

e and Cross Creek made that possible. Also, all of my guests were raving about the beauty of the venue and how perfect the wedding evening was. All in all, CCR will out do all of your expectations!

recommend!!

ancel the rest because we knew Cross Creek was the one! The venue is GORGEOUS and their team is amazing! They took all of the stress out of wedding planning for us and made sure our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be. The designer, Lisa, even went out of her way to order special flowers to create my dream center pieces! Everyone on their team was so sweet and extremely organized. A few of my guests even told me it was the most organized wedding they had ever been to! I will forever recommend Cross Creek Ranch to future brides and grooms!

an everything to the smallest details and execute it magnificently. Months later my guests still tell me how beautifully everything was. They also are very easy to work with and are willing to work with you. They have staff to handle everything, so your wedding is stress free. Every time I needed something my attendant would pop up out of no where. I felt like princess all day. They made my day magical!!

ate space, and within my budget. It’s difficult to find an all inclusive venue this amazing in Florida for the price. I never had to stress about a thing! The team at CCR took care of everything. They coordinated all vendors, sent me detailed timelines of the planning process, and made planning a breeze! Don’t get me started on how fun the design meeting is! Once we were down to the wire, I had a lot of questions and details to finalize. The CCR team was so responsive to all of my emails and questions. The day was perfect! The DJ kept the party alive, flowers were beautiful, and the food/cake was amazing. The wedding coordinator (Valerie) was always one step ahead and kept the day moving seamlessly! I’d give CCR a 5,00000 star rating if I could. The photos speak for themselves.
