We had the perfect wedding at Ramble Creek! The scenery was beautiful, the staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. We did not end up needing to utilize the indoor rain cer...
emony location, although it was a main factor for choosing RC for our late April wedding date. The peace of mind knowing we would have a beautiful indoor ceremony location backup helped reduce stress on the day of when the forecast was questionable. Jenny was so helpful through the entire planning process and the online portal system was easy to navigate. The staff did an amazing job setting our decor up and bringing our wedding vision to life. The bridal suite had ample space for my 8 bridesmaids, and the groomsmen enjoyed their spacious grooms quarters. Beau, the RC florist, was especially easy to work with and did a beautiful job with our florals. Renting the manor, villa and cottage for our wedding party was perfect for lodging, wedding preparation, and hosting our own rehearsal dinner. We’re so glad we chose RC for our big day!

r team that you chose Ramble Creek for your special day.
We’re so glad the beauty of the property, along with the peace of mind from our indoor ceremony backup, helped you feel confident and relaxed leading up to your wedding. It was such a joy for Jenny and the entire team to walk alongside you throughout the planning process!
We’re also thrilled to hear everything from the décor setup to the bridal and groom suites, and even your full wedding weekend in the manor, villa, and cottage, came together just as you envisioned.
And we couldn’t agree more...Beau truly has a gift, and we’re so happy you loved your florals!
Thank you again for trusting us with such an important celebration. We’re so honored to have been part of your wedding story and wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!!!

ough the venue.
Carrie and Molly did my hair and makeup and they were fantastic! It was better than I could have dreamed and all I can say is that to trust the process because you only get an hour for the trials and it does not do justice to what they accomplish the day of the event.
Audrey was our coordinator and Carrie was our Director and they were both fantastic!! They handled everything for me the day of. They handle set up and tear down for the decorations and it was better than I could have envisioned. They also make sure everything follows the timeline so our day went as smoothly as possible. Having a coordinator and director built into your price is easily one of the best perks of using this venue because it made our day stress free!
All in all, it was a perfect day! I don’t think I could have asked for something that felt more like us. The flowers, decor, and music made our wedding feel like a dream come true.

Ramble Creek was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding! When we began planning, we knew we needed a venue that could accommodate 250+ people. After our initial visit to Ra...
mble Creek, we were so impressed with their beautiful property and all of the services they could provide that we booked with them that day. Our daughter’s goal was for her family and friends to be present in the moment and not running around worrying about wedding day details. We could tell that was also the goal of the Ramble Creek owners and staff. Our communication started immediately, mostly via emails, but also through some video conferences closer to the wedding date. They were prompt to answer any questions we had, and they were able to offer suggestions for things we weren’t sure about.
On the day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! It was so much fun! We showed up bright and early, sat in the beautiful bridal suite, got pampered, ate a delicious brunch, and had a great time getting ready. (We hear the guys had a great time too!) From the bridal suite, we could look down into the reception hall and watch a lot of the work taking place. They were hard at work, and we were having fun.
Audrey, our day-of coordinator, did a great job keeping things on track. The wedding ceremony went off without any issues and the reception was perfect. Our guests were so complimentary of the beautiful venue, the elegant reception, and the excellent food. We heard a lot of comments saying it was the best wedding ever! Our daughter was thrilled and thought it was perfect too! Thank you Ramble Creek for helping make our daughter’s dream wedding come true!

ctual day an absolute dream! AND for the vast amount of services they cover (floral, catering, cakes, officiants, and more) it is remarkably affordable.
As a queer couple, my wife and I were anxious about finding a venue and other vendors in Tennessee that would happily meet our wants and needs, and this team did so with true joy and support. We are so thankful to have had such a positive and uplifting experience.
You will truly not be able to find a better venue in all of Tennessee (and honestly probably the whole country)! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Ramble Creek provided a perfect beautiful Fall wedding for our daughter and her husband. The professionalism of the team made it a flawless day! Our coordinator, Emma worked with...
us from day one, over a year out from the big day, helping us build the dream into a reality. We used all of their onsite vendors, making everything SO much easier, and they were all top notch! The flowers were exactly as promised and all of our guests are still talking about the delicious food! It was obvious that they thought about every detail in how the bride and groom's get ready areas are set up. In addition, they have several houses on the property that can be reserved to stay at. We stayed at the large Manor House, which made the night before and the day of so much easier, being only steps away. Another plus about Ramble Creek was how they are prepared to "flip" to an indoor ceremony if the weather turns bad for a planned outdoor ceremony. It was iffy for us right up until the day before, but it was reassuring knowing we would be taken care of if rain did cause a change. This momma was very comforted knowing that Ramble Creek would go above and beyond to make it the perfect day and the certainly did! I highly recommend!

As a wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Ramble Creek. I have photographed multiple weddings at their venue and every time it exceeds my exp...
ectations.
The attention to detail by their staff was remarkable. Emma (wedding coordinator) was so professional and friendly and made the day run so smoothly. She worked hand in hand with the couple and vendors, including myself, to create the flawless day for our couple. If there were any hiccups, even I didn't know about them because she kept it running flawlessly.
Everything about Ramble Creek is a photographers dream, the beautiful wooded reception area, the green landscape around the barn and the large pond, and my personal favorite, the large bridal suite with the perfect lighting for beautiful photographs. There is such a variety in landscape, you'll never run out of amazing places for photos.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ramble Creek if you are looking for a venue to hold your wedding day and I seriously can't wait to capture more love stories here.

ere looking for and for a neurotic type A personality like me, that meant a lot. Throughout the process I was full of questions. Not a single one went unanswered. The ladies were there day and night to work with me and to make sure our day was exactly as we envisioned it. And it was. The day of the wedding went off without a single hitch. The staff was polite, well dressed, courteous and seemed to have a good time too! Ramble Creek is a one stop shop so they handled our food as well. The food was heavenly and we wanted to try a non-traditional cake flavor and the chefs did not disappoint. We got so many compliments on the place and the food. I have nothing but glowing things to say about Ramble Creek. 10/10!

My husband and I picked Ramble Creek after scouting out many venues on The Knot because we were impressed by its beauty, the professionalism of the staff when we did our first Face...
Time, and because of the 'all inclusive' packaging since we would be planning a wedding out of state. We absolutely could not be more happy with our choice. The Ramble Creek staff helped and guided us through the wedding planning process to create our perfect wedding and the best weekend of our lives :) We could not recommend Ramble Creek enough, the venue is gorgeous, the food is amazing (our friends are still raving about the dinner and dessert!), and the staff are spectacular. Emma especially went above and beyond, ensuring all of our little details were included leading up to our wedding and then on the day of she did everything from ensuring John and I had food, drinks, water, and even some alone time! I also highly recommend renting the Manor for the weekend, makes for a fun and memorable wedding weekend, not to mention transportation to and from the venue easy. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff that keep the wedding planning process easy, stress-free, and a ton of fun. Our friends keep saying how this was the best wedding they had ever been too! We had a blast and wouldn't change a thing :)
Much love,
Rosa & John

Emma stood by our side and provided every little thing we need whether it be last minute updates to our table arrangements or ibuprofen when I got a headache. She was truly incredible. Amy Stratton, the wedding director was also super helpful and friendly. The executive chef, Josh Frieze, created the most delicious food that our guests couldn’t get enough of. The executive pastry chef, Eva Gray, also did not disappoint with her beautiful and moist deserts. She even made a keto cake for my wife. The florist, Connie, crafted absolutely beautiful bouquets that we are keeping. Every single person from the staff that we encountered was friendly, professional and attentive. We seriously don’t have a single complaint. Ramble Creek made our wedding day absolutely perfect. I wish we could get married again just to experience it twice.
We also HIGHLY recommend staying in the Manor the nights before and of the wedding. Jenny and her husband did an incredible job and it is the most beautiful house we have ever seen. Our bridesmaids are still raving about it to this day.

can simply choose to use the venue + food and bring in decor or add certain items 'a la carte'. Our guests were raving about how perfect of a wedding venue this was & we couldn't be happier. Jenny, Emma, Halea, Megan, and other staff were all wonderful. We used their preferred vendors as well (photo, DJ, baker, florals) which were all great! The entire staff had a calmness & positive attitude throughout the entire day, which made it that much more enjoyable. They really consider all of your needs in the planning process & make the day special!
We also rented out the Manor House for our wedding party for the entire weekend - this is a large house at the top of the hill on venue site that comfortably sleeps 22 people...has a hot tub/pool/large gathering space. It was SO much fun & very special having all of our favorite people stay close with us for the weekend!
The day went by so fast but couldn't have been more perfect!

Ramble Creek Vineyards was the wedding venue of OUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!! We knew from the photos before we even came to visit that it was the venue for us. They made the whole planning ...
process incredibly easy. I loved how they were so quick to respond whenever I had a question, Jenny and Emma especially!
Fast forward to our wedding weekend! Emma was absolutely incredible in organizing everyone for the rehearsal. If anything bad happened on our day, I had no idea- Emma and Amy had us both at ease and made sure we were taken care of. The one moment of panic that i had was when mud got all over the bottom of my dress after our first look. Emma got down in the floor along with my husband and photographer and scrubbed the bottom of my dress with baby wipes and a tide to go pen. The food and cake….I can’t even begin to express how much we loved it. Everything was absolutely perfect.
Thank you Emma, Amy, Jenny, and the Ramble Creek Family!!! We will refer you all to everyone we know!!!!!

My husband and I got married in November of 2021 at Ramble Creek and the one word I would use to explain my wedding day is “Hallmark”. Like many brides, I was very confused on what...
I wanted exactly and I often changed my mind, even the week of my wedding. Ramble creek accommodated all my request, needs, and wants. We also rented the manor at Ramble creek on our wedding night for the wedding party and it was the best decision we ever made. We made so many memories with our close friends. The manor is something right out of a movie, it even has a TN rock slide, hot tub, and a gorgeous view of the estate and mountains. Ramble creek also offers catering to the manor:) The Venue also offers a florist, on site coordinator, wedding planer, and the owner Jenny is only a call/text away. I used their florist, chef, on site coordinator, planner, and spoke with Jenny multiple times and everyone was kind, uplifting, and encouraging. If you choose this venue, you wont be disappointed:)

Weddings are filled with emotions… there’s so much planning and a myriad of details that one cannot possibly remember on their own. I’m so glad we found Ramble Creek to guide us th...
rough the twists and turns while being a calming vibe throughout the journey. As the mother of the bride, who worked closely with their staff, it was comforting to know this most special day was in the hands of kind and caring professionals!
Everything from the breathtaking venue itself, to the food, music, and ambiance was simply magical! I would highly recommend using Ramble Creek vendors. The florist, Anne, and her daughter will bring your floral wedding vision to life. The floral arrangements and bouquets were a work of art! As for the food, Chef Josh created a most delicious and well-presented menu, and everything was wonderfully served by the staff. And the wedding cake was picture perfect, along with the adorable and YUMMY cupcakes! Thank you, Eva! The DJ, Andrew, is also amazing, and we highly recommend using him. And now for the gem of the venue, in my humble opinion, Emma the coordinator. If there’s one vendor you don’t want to pass on, it’s the wedding coordinator. Thank you, Emma, for your guidance, creative input, professionalism, and calming influence through it all. Your attention not only to detail, but to people (the bride and groom, bridal party, family, and our guests), is exceptional. So big thanks to you and Amy! Once again, thank you Jenny Yates and Ramble Creek for a most memorable day. As parent, our greatest joy was hearing our daughter say, “Thank you for giving me my dream wedding!”

My husband and I are from Florida and we were looking for a venue in Tennessee. We landed on RC and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Jenny, Halea, Emma, and all of the s...
taff we met with and worked with were fantastic! They all answered my many emails and questions quickly and were so sweet to correspond with via email and phone. Being from out of state we chose RC for all of the on site vendors. This was huge for us so that we didn't have to juggle a million different vendors. The hair & make up team and the photographers we chose were all familiar with RC and the wonderful staff. Everyone worked so nicely together. Our day went absolutely perfectly. Anyone looking to have a barn wedding and/or reception, don't bother looking anywhere else (or do... but you'll come back to RC like I did!) You won't be disappointed.

After looking at a lot of venues in the Knoxville area we decided to land on Ramble Creek because it was the perfect combination of what we wanted and the price we could afford. It...
was a little further out from Knoxville than we originally wanted but it had the perfect outdoor setting while also having an indoor (airconditioned!) space for the reception. It was also outdoorsy but classy. (It hard to find outdoor venues in TN that aren't super rustic/country feeling). The staff was great to work with. I loved meeting with the chef, he was so accommodating and told us he could do whatever we wanted and not to be limited by what was on their list. The bakery was great as well, the cupcakes we had tasted so good. The florals were very flexible too since I was getting most of my flowers elsewhere I only needed greenery for the tables and they were happy to help even with just that. Ramble Creek is great in that you could easily use them for everything in the wedding which makes it so much less stressful but there is also flexibility with other things. I loved not having separate vendors for food, the cake, the DJ etc. They were also very flexible to the last minute and made it very easy to work with them day of. The only thing I wish I had done was use their own coordinator. (We had a family friend who was a coordinator offer to do it but since I didn't know her well myself and she didn't know the venue I think it would have made things a little easier just to use RC's coordinator). You won't regret choosing RC!

Ramble Creek made all of my wedding dreams come true! Being a covid bride is hard enough, but moving states, starting a new job, and being separated from friends and family made we...
dding planning incredibly difficult. My family/friends didn’t help plan anything, in fact they would ignore me if I tried to bounce ideas off of them! BUT Ramble Creek and all of their amazing staff swooped in and saved my wedding planning experience. I was able to be truly excited and stress free all thanks to their all-inclusive vibes, their super organized staff, and of course how SWEET and THOUGHTFUL Jenny is. I can’t say enough how amazing Ramble Creek is. Whether you’re a fellow stressed bride freaking out on how to plan because you never imagined a wedding, OR if you’re a bride who knows exactly what she wants, Ramble Creek can make any dreams come true.

If you read nothing past this line, BOOK, THIS VENUE IS IT, AMAZING, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!
Ramble Creek is SUPERB! My fiance(now husband) and I visited over 10 venues in the s...
outheast. Ramble Creek was the very last place we visited and almost immediately it was a yes. The staff is so professional! From the very first email, we got so much information and options. Once we arrived the venue is BREATHTAKING! The pictures are great but seeing the property in person is unbelievable. They made this process so seamless!!!! They help you plan your dream wedding with little to no work on your end! You just have to say yes or no, and state your ideas. It is truly an all-inclusive venue. The food is absolutely delicious, and they have great vegan/vegetarian options as well. Even with COVID, they worked with us so well in adjusting and being so accommodating with such uncertainty. Everything leading up to the big day was so well thought out, planned and so specific to us!
The big day, I have no idea how else to say this but It was truly the best day of my life and the RC team played a HUGE role in that. I was so calm and truly enjoyed my day because I did not have to worry about a single detail. I just enjoyed my day (there are truly no words to state the value of this)! I was so happy! The professionalism is outstanding! Just the little things that made it amazing! Even last-minute additions and changes they just made it happen. All of our friends and family LOVED the property and we got so many compliments on how delicious the food was.
Their attention to detail is like no other. From the way the venue is physically set up(for amazing pictures), to things you just do not realize makes your day. At the end of the night, they packed us a to-go plate to eat and cake! We were so busy mingling with our guests and dancing we did not realize we barely ate.
The decorating, our wedding coordinator, the chefs, the staff, everything was just AMAZING! Ramble Creek, thank you for helping me turn my vision into reality!
Future brides, go no further, you can not get any better than Ramble Creek.

Beyond Perfect! I am so thankful we started our Forever at this incredible, beautiful venue! From the initial phone call talking about what all the venue included, I was overwhelmi...
ngly excited that I had options! When I say options I mean that have almost anything and everything you would want or need provided in house. With so many venues I struggled thinking and worrying about all that I would have to provide or rent in order to have all that I wanted. Ramble Creek and their staff can provide so much for your big day! Selections Day was so fun and allowed for me to narrow down all the final options. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all the details. The land has so many picture perfect spots and multiple different ceremony areas. The inside of the venue is breathtaking with a high cathedral ceiling and beautiful natural wood. The bridal and groomsmen suites were the perfect areas on site to prepare for the day. Jenny and Buck, along with their team have thought through and in detail about all the littles things you would want, love and cherish on your big day! This is a one of a kind venue and don't regret passing it up!

If you are thinking about booking them for your wedding, DO IT!

I can’t say enough how perfect of a venue Ramble Creek was for our wedding. With the smallest of effort, this venue was completely captivating for us and our guests. The authentic ...
wood charm with white accents made for the perfect backdrop. Even though the property itself is like a dream, the staff are even more incredible. They were there to guide and support us through our day effortlessly. Every issue that came up, they were able to address. Even after the event ended and we had some items that didn’t go to plan, they were able to help compensate. We want to say a special thanks to Lindsey Trotter (day of coordinator) and Amy Stratton (director for the staff/venue) for all the amazing help they gave me and our guests on the day of the wedding. We couldn’t have done it without you and all the staff there to assist. Ramble was the perfect match for our wedding, and we’d choose it over time and time again.

hey are so detailed and are willing to work with you every step of the way. I can't put into words how thankful I am that we found this special place! The staff is phenomenal. Jacquie, Eva & Megan were amazing and provided the best food, cake and bar service. So many of our guests complimented each one of them which made me so happy! Rebecca, with the Athens Flower Shop made my wedding day bouquet dreams come true! Every floral and greenery detail was better than I could have imagined. I can't thank Audrey Gruber (our day-of coordinator) and Amy Stratton (our wedding director) enough for handling every little detail and making sure the day was perfect. They took care of everything and made sure I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day! If you are looking for a gorgeous and unique wedding venue, look no further! Ramble Creek is the best in the business!

Hi fellow Brides! I got married at Ramble Creek a few weeks ago. Here is a very detailed description of my experience -
Overall Experience:
Although pricey, the venue is beaut...
iful and the Ramble Creek staff ROCK IT the day of your wedding. Initially, I was irritated with the pricing and felt as though I was being “nickel and dimed” for everything. It took me until the day of my wedding to realize WHY. I had a 13 page document for how I wanted my wedding executed. I guess you could say I was a very “hands on/controlling” bride with high expectations :) The day of my wedding, the RC staff (which feels more like a small ARMY), executed my plan flawlessly. No detail was spared, and they really understand and care about how important the details are. So, although things feel expensive in the beginning, to me, it was 100% worth it in the end.
STAFF:
OWNERS: Buck and Jenny are genuine, caring people. This isn’t “just a business” for them. They really want you to have the best day ever.
COORDINATOR: I would trust Audrey with my life. She was vital to my sanity both leading up to and the day of the wedding. She listened to me and made time for me whenever I needed it. She glued over 50 candlesticks together for me on wedding day. She never made me feel like I was an annoying bridezilla (and I WAS). It’s like having the most organized person, with a yoga instructor’s voice, guiding you through the day while simultaneously orchestrating your big event. I would absolutely recommend booking her through Ramble Creek as your day-of coordinator.
DIRECTOR: I didn’t see Megan until the day of, and didn’t really understand what a day-of director was, but she was everywhere. She fixed my broken seating chart, helped us use the steamer, checked on us at the perfect times to make sure we were ok, set up the bridal suite so perfectly with our things before we arrived, lots of little things that made a big difference. Her and Audrey tag-teamed the event like a well-oiled machine.
OTHERS: It felt like there were 20 people working for Ramble Creek that day. Many of them were communicating over head sets with each other. It was unreal. They are like the Special Forces of weddings or something. All of them smiled at me, they seemed happy to be there, they were constantly anticipating my needs and giving me whatever I wanted/needed. I was so thankful to have this team behind me on such an important day.
PRICING: As I mentioned, this venue is pricey. To rent the venue it is about 7K and then you have to tack on a lot of per person costs. It will get pricey, but again, in my experience, it was WORTH every penny. I am glad they do not cut corners.
FOOD: We had butter chicken, green beans, and macaroni. People are still talking about the food. It was the best chicken and macaroni I have ever had. I expected the chicken to be dry and just mediocre…it was not. It was amazing. We did buffet style and because of the way they execute the food distribution it did not feel like a buffet at all.
VENUE: Pictures taken at this venue/our wedding are currently being used as many of our guest’s social media profile pics. Girls, you get this. Totally insta-worthy. The venue and the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. Our guests walked the grounds during cocktail hour – sat by the fire place, admired the vineyard and the landscaping. There is lots of greenery and a big open sky. It was perfect.
Book them!

My husband and I got married at Ramble Creek in November 2019 and everything was honestly perfect. Every person we worked with (from the initial tour with Halea to planning with Je...
nny and executing with Audrey and Megan and everyone in between) was so kind and personable and helpful! We never felt stressed and were always so well taken care of. In addition to that, the grounds are beautiful and the building has so many amazing and unique details. The food is so yummy and the chef helped us to create our perfect custom breakfast food menu for our day! All in all, we had the best experience and have nothing negative to say about Ramble Creek - we wish we could do it all over again! We would definitely recommend a million times over!

To say Ramble Creek exceeded every single one of our expectations for our perfect day would be an absolute understatement. From the initial tour and the booking process to our sele...
ctions day, every email/phone call in between and, most importantly, our wedding day, their kindness, attention to detail, and overall gorgeous venue atmosphere was an absolute dream! “Absolute perfection” is just not good enough to say the least when it comes to how my husband and I, along with our family members and friends, felt about our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. They made every aspect of our wedding planning process so easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Ramble Creek to any bride and groom who is seeking an all-inclusive, top-of-the-line wedding venue at an affordable price. Their team is very knowledgeable about industry trends, classic and timeless feels and more, and is certainly the BEST in the business by far.

From the moment I walked into Ramble Creek I knew I wanted to get married there. Buck showed us around and graciously answered all of our questions. We sat down with him and went o...
ver all of Ramble’s guidelines and he provided us with a very detailed price-breakdown of our anticipated services. From the beginning they were nothing but transparent and super helpful in bringing our wedding vision to life.
The venue itself is so naturally beautiful that it really doesn’t need a lot of ‘sprucing up’ compared to a lot of other places. The property has so much to offer beyond the grand hall which was another deciding factor for us. We knew that we wanted our ceremony outside; we had a cigar bar around the fire place, and utilized the lower lawn for giant yard games for our guests to play during the reception.
Once we decided to book the venue I primarily worked with Jenny to get our plans set in motion. I can’t even tell you how many emails back and forth we had, but Jenny was a dream to work with and answered every question I could think of down to the tiniest details. Leading up to the wedding I felt very confident that the day would be perfect because Ramble Creek had been so easy to coordinate with. All of the food and bartending service was through them which made it even easier to have fewer vendors. If you’re a couple who are looking for a more inclusive venue then this is the place for you – they offer so many services in house that it will make your planning process a breeze!
A few weeks before the wedding I was introduced to our venue director Megan who served as our point of contact on the big day. While we had a coordinator for our ceremony and flow of events, Megan was SO incredibly helpful. She made sure that everything got set up in its place, and even helped keep me calm when it started to rain during our outdoor ceremony. I was worried about how all the transitions would go, but Megan and her staff handled everything with ease and made the night go by seamlessly. She really is such a sweetheart and genuinely wants to make your day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! On the actual wedding day I felt like I had to hardly worry about a thing and could just enjoy myself while getting ready.
I wish I could relive the day over and over in part because of the dedicated work that the staff of Ramble Creek did for us. I can’t speak highly enough to their level of service and dedication to helping couples make their wedding dreams come true. Weddings are of course about the love that two people share, but having a venue that pulls all the details together certainly helps! Ramble Creek went above and beyond our expectations, and I’m sure they will for you too!

Everything about Ramble Creek and their staff is exceptional! I truly cannot put into words how wonderfully beautiful this venue is, as well as the people who make it this way. Jen...
ny and Buck did everything in their power to make sure our day was everything we wanted it to be--if not more! We were an out of town couple who hadn't even seen the venue before booking and Jenny and Buck went above and beyond to get everything set for our perfect day. From the countless emails, texts, and struggles (throwing the unexpected of the Army into this planning), Ramble Creek made sure our day went swimmingly and allowed us to have fun, be carefree, and celebrate our love with family and friends! The recommend vendors was extremely helpful with last minute planning and it could not have been any better. Everything was perfect--from the food, the people, the music, the flowers and decor... EVERYTHING! Our guests still can't stop talking about how perfect our day was and this is all thanks to Ramble Creek! Alex and I are forever grateful for Ramble Creek and will look back on how wonderful this day was for the rest of our lives.

It has been just three weeks since I walked my baby down the aisle, and if I were to encapsulate my review into a single thought it would be to wish that I were able to replicate t...
hat day...every day...for the rest of my life. It was an unquestionably perfect day!
We first began this journey in Sept ‘18, and from point of commitment through the reception, I've never experienced a higher level of customer satisfaction than what was consistently rendered by these professionals.
From the moment we pulled through the gate, we were awed by the sheer splendor of this XX-acre plot of land that was seemingly drawn into the countryside by a world-renowned artist. We were then given a walking tour of the grounds that validated to me that we had wasted a good bulk of our day visiting other venues that were neither comparable in terms of beauty nor ambience, as the sense of genuine tranquility we perceived informed us that our search was over.
Even if there were a sliver of doubt, it was quickly dismissed in meeting with the co-owner (Jenny Yates), whose confident approach to answering our questions was equally matched by a sense of elegance whereby we knew that she only had one standard...excellence!
Over the next 10 months she and her team did not disappoint.
- the owners (Buck & Jenny Yates) kept us informed of every detail throughout; accommodated all changes; and were open to receive/offer suggestions that ultimately improved what would be a lifelong memory
- coordination of vendors was effortless
- setup of the entire grounds was pristine and befitting a princess
- food (appetizers, main course and dessert offerings) was delicious and more than proportionate
- timing of reception events flowed seamlessly
- transition between reception and party was transparent to all
- DJ kept spinning tunes that kept the floor hopping (reference shows my age) and his personality was "on fleek" throughout the night (more modern reference ;-)
- Wedding Director (Jessica) as well as the driver of the shuttle were equally invested in ensuring that everyone in attendance had the time of their lives
I later found out that the shuttle driver was Buck's father...Mr. Yates, and from talking to others I believe he made it a point to hold a conversation with all 120+ guests. Buck and his father prove the old axiom, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." If I may add Mr. Yates...thank you Sir, for going out of your way to personally enhance our overall experience.
Lastly, if I may humble brag, we made the smart decision to contract for the services of a wedding coordinator, and on the day of the blessed event our coordinator took the reins, eliminating any potential missteps and guided the entire day in an expert manner usually reserved for celebrities. At least that's how we felt ;-)
HINT: ask for Lindsey by name...she is outstanding!
Again, there are many words that come to mind (Amazing/Exemplary/Wonderful) and one may use any other superlative found in Webster’s Dictionary, as each would accurately describe the end-to-end process we'd evaluate of allowing Jenny & Buck Yates to direct what will arguably be one of the more memorable days in the life of who I will always lovingly refer to as my little girl.
Ramble Creek Team...both my wife and I, on behalf of our daughter, want to thank you for your diligence in perfectly executing a vision that likely began when she was a little girl, and from the bottom of our hearts we just want to say, "Thank you!"
