We cannot recommend Up The Creek enough. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and created the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. The venue allows for medium to larger weddings, b...

The planners were organized, responsive, and made the whole process feel completely stress free. On the wedding day, everyone worked together like a well-oiled machine and we were able to truly enjoy the moment without worrying about a thing. Our guests can’t stop raving about what a great time they had and how well everything came together. We’re so grateful to the entire staff for making our day feel so effortless and special.

Getting married at Up the Creek Farms in Malabar, FL was truly the best decision we could have made and hands down the best day of my life. From start to finish, the entire team we...
nt above and beyond in every possible way.
From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless. The team at Up the Creek Farms was incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. They made what can be a stressful process feel easy and exciting, and I always felt supported and understood.
When I walked in on our wedding day and saw the cocktail hour setup and reception space for the first time, I was completely blown away. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, they brought my vision to life in ways I didn’t even know were possible. Every detail was perfect.
On the day of the wedding, the team handled absolutely everything. There was not a single moment where I was looking around wondering what was next or if something needed to be done, they had it all covered from start to finish. Because of that, both my family and I were able to truly relax, be fully present, and soak in every moment of the day.
I also want to give a very special thank you to the incredible individuals who made our day so perfect: Jess, who led the planning and coordinating so seamlessly, along with Kiryn, Clare, and Brittany, who were all incredibly involved and supportive throughout the entire process. Tammy, who handled all of the catering, absolutely knocked it out of the park, and Lauren, who created the most stunning floral designs that tied everything together beautifully. Each of them played such an important role in making our wedding day unforgettable.
I truly don’t even know how to put into words how thankful I am for how exceptional this team is at what they do. I would recommend Up the Creek Farms without hesitation to anyone looking for a venue that will exceed expectations and allow you to fully enjoy your wedding day. If you’re considering getting married here... do it! You will not regret it.

d be our wedding farm site. We went from planning a Disney wedding to falling in Love with Up the Creek Farms. They provided everything in their elopement package for us and guided us all the step of the way. The day finally arrived, and our officiant was just perfect for our way of being, and the photographer was also amazing making us laugh and smile. They helped me make sure my dress was properly placed as I had no one with me. Just my husband and I. They really helped make of this special day a real special and memorable day.
Thank you Up the Creek Farms for making our love story a memorable one of a life time!

ing parties to get ready. The property itself is breathtaking, giving timeless, vintage vibes with an elegant rustic charm and of course, the ethereal foliage and trees that make it seem like a fairytale come to life. The ladies here brought my VERY specific vision to reality, hearing my ideas, advising on implementation, and exceeding my expectations. Planning was seamless and we were always on the same page, even from 4 states away. Not only did my S/O & I have the best night of our lives, but all of our guests had a BLAST! No detail goes unnoticed with this team, they are on top of it at all times. I highly highly recommend this venue to anyone, but especially to anyone with a demanding schedule that does not allow for much wedding-planning. You can trust that UTCF will make your all your dream-wedding wishes come true.

If anything went wrong the day of, I still don’t know about it because they handled everything and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a stress free planning process, look no further!!! Up the Creek is hands down THE BEST in Brevard!

Many of our guests have told us this was the best wedding they've ever been part of and that is truly all because of the UTC team making it perfect.

Our fabulous planner Briana helped take the stress out of the planning process and made sure for our wedding all we needed to do was show up and enjoy the day. We live out of state and loved how inclusive the package was. It was very helpful not to have to research and find too many vendors on our own. At the same time the vendors Up the Creek works with did an excellent job of making our visions for the day a reality. The food was delicious, the flowers and décor just how we pictured it, and the DJ kept our party dancing for hours. We wouldn't have changed a thing about the day and can't thank everyone at Up the Creek enough for creating the wedding of our dreams.

tiful spots in Brevard County, FL, but it is truly the team at Up the Creak Farms that makes the entire experience a day you will never forget. The entire team we worked with - Jess, Briana, Amanda, Lauren & Clare - is extremely professional, beyond talented and very warm and welcoming. What truly sets this team a part from the rest is how you can feel their passion for their work when working with them. They care about every detail of your big day as if it were their own.
Briana was our Wedding Director and from the moment we met during our venue tour in December 2020 we knew Briana and Up the Creek Farms were going to make our dream wedding come true. Briana is a true professional and your wedding fairy godmother that you don't just want - YOU NEED! It is beyond impressive the knowledge that Briana possess about curating the perfect event - it is a true testament to her years of experience and academic background. Briana was also extremely responsive to any calls, texts, or emails we sent her. She helped guide us through all of the decisions we needed to make leading up to the event and took all of the stress out of the planning and made it the most enjoyable experience.
Amanda was our lead floral designer and when I say we were blown away by her talent, it is an understatement. Amanda helped us work through every design detail for the entire event - ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception - for months leading up to the big day. She listened to my vision and turned it in to a reality. My mom and I could have sat with Amanda for hours listening to her knowledge on florals and various designs she has created over the years in her impressive career. Like Briana, Amanda was extremely responsive and was always immediately there to answer any question or request we had.
My sister and I stayed the night at the Decklan House the night before the wedding and Briana and Jess were extremely welcoming and helped us get settled. The home was decorated for the holidays and it truly felt like we were transported to one of the homes from the Hallmark Channel holiday movies - truly a dream come true. The home itself has been immaculately remodeled and is an awesome experience all on its own. The home includes numerous displays on the history of the property which was fascinating to read over and look through photos. I highly recommend any one getting married here to stay the night prior in the Decklan House.
We also worked with Jess, Lauren, and Clare and all three women were absolute gems and added to making our wedding the most memorable day.
I highly recommend Up the Creek Farms to anyone looking for a venue for their special day or special event. The property and the staff are top notch and will exceed all of your expectations and dreams.

e whole team is super nice and responsive and will go out of their way to help make your dream wedding come true. They are very easy to work with. The venue is GORGEOUS. I went to so many different venues and this one was by far the best one. Even my husband saw the difference in comparison to other venues. The bridal room and the house were the groomsmen are before the wedding is super pretty, clean, and it includes everything you need on your big day. The floral team was also great and made everything look super pretty. We were also surprised with the price cause it includes everything you need. The caterer and the cake vendor they work with are also amazing. Everyone liked the food. In conclusion I have NOTHING bad to say about this experience. I would totally recommend it to everyone.

BY FAR THE BEST DECISION I MADE AS A BRIDE WAS DECIDING TO GET MARRIED AT UTCF!
I am in my late 20s and so a lot of wedding are happening in my friend group right now, and I can ...
confidently say that the team at UTCF is unmatched. Jess, the owner, is so kind and involved with every wedding even from afar. It was forecasted to rain and she personally called me to make sure I was calm. Briana, our planner, held my hand for almost a year and a half of planning. I had a lot of untraditional plans and she helped me execute them all flawlessly. My mom and bridesmaids were all so impressed. Kelly, the designer, helped bring my pinterest board to life. I had no plans of preserving my flowers, but after seeing how beautiful they were I impulsively decided I needed to. The catering team was the BOMB. They were honest during our tasting and then after the wedding my friends kept telling me nonstop how that was some of the best food, let alone wedding food, that they've ever had. Blue Skies Entertainment were the DJs and I also got rave reviews about how the music was fantastic and kept the party going!
Then the venue itself is STUNNING. It's what sold me, the unreal team was just an amazing surprise. They have a new bridal suite that is absolutely perfect and spacious (I had 8 bridesmaids + my mom + my flower girl) in there. I was so stressed about having enough time to steam everyones dresses but they had someone helping us steam dresses and organize our chaos! The men had their grooms room to play around and hang out in and sounds like they had an absolute blast. As mentioned, I have a lot of friends getting married and they have often mentioned to me that I seemed so stress free about my upcoming wedding...and honestly I was! What an experience! Truly the best weekend of my life. I am crying right now typing this. THANK YOU JESS, BRIANA & TEAM!! You ladies are AMAZING GIRL BOSSES.

Up the Creek Farms is the best venue around. Hands down. Lets start with Briana our planner who handled everything like a boss!!! She took care of all the things and could answer m...
y questions with speed and professionalism. Then there’s Kelly the florist and designer who literally read my mind with my vision. They do such a great job taking all your ideas, making them realistic within your budget, and executing with perfection. Also, they are so dog friendly!!!!!!!!! This was super important for us in finding the perfect venue. I also recommend adding on the Decklan House for getting ready. We took so many pictures and it allowed us to get single photos on the property as well!! It’s so gorgeous. I don’t even have enough words to fully explain how wonderful everything went. Thank you guys!!!! Highly recommend!!

inally came is was a literal dream. Planning was easy as almost everything was on site and Bri did an amazing job bringing our details to life. Not a single thing went wrong on our wedding day (if it did I didn’t know) and it was everything I ever dreamed of. Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable.

To say all of my wedding dreams came true, would be the biggest understatement! Up the Creek Farms was by far the BEST decision made during the wedding planning process. Liz, our w...
edding planner, and the entire staff at UTCF made the wedding planning process so memorable and fun!! Liz, Jess (the owner), Kelly (the florist), and the entire staff are all SO detail oriented, thoughtful, and they treat your wedding with as much importance as they would their own. I mean the week leading up to the wedding, they all called me just to see how I was feeling.. How thoughtful is that!!! And don’t even get me started on all of the compliments we received regarding how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun everyone had..... Trust me when I say this: 1- Liz is seriously the best wedding planner we could’ve ever asked for and 2- Up the Creek Farms will surpass your greatest dreams for what you envision!!!

as absolutely stunning! Our guest, while smaller in number than originally planned, raved about the location! I think the outdoor option should be offered as a plan A even once all this craziness is over. The Point is an absolutely stunning location and the casual afternoon of dancing and games was everything we could have hoped for. Before you even think of a 'problem' Briana already had it solved and taken care of in the most seamless of ways - on the day of all you have to do is show up and soak in every second of the perfect day. I couldn't be happier and have absolutely the most beautiful photos to remember my wedding from - who said planning a COVID wedding wasn't worth it? Thank you UTCF!

The moment we took a tour, we knew Up the Creek Farms was going to be THE place for our wedding. Now, a few months removed from the day, I still am just in awe of how perfect our d...
ay was. Despite a pandemic, it all came together so easily. Jess and her team were so helpful in all of the preparations. There were many times we just brainstormed ideas together for the various details along the way. I never expected that much help! What is even more reassuring is that *every single* vendor or person we spoke to about Up the Creek had only amazing things to say about it. When you spend that much money on such an important day, nothing is more valuable than that. I also opted in to use their florals, and Kelly just nailed it! She was open to including some wooden flowers I had bought, and ran with both broad and specific ideas I threw out. The flowers were gorgeous, and it was super easy to keep it all in the UTCF family. As the date approached, Briana helped us coordinate everything – reaching out to vendors for timelines, telling people where to go, reminding the rowdy bridal party what to do, and even flawlessly bustling my dress to save a bit of time. She and the entire team are professional, knowledgeable, low-key, and above all, passionate about your wedding too. You cannot, and will not, go wrong with Up the Creek Farms and their family of recommended vendors. I can never thank them enough!

om the very first phone call, talking with Jessica to even see the venue, I was blown away. I had to see it on video first, as I wasn’t in town. When Jess kindly and gracefully showed me her property in person, the beautifully manicured grounds of Up The Creek Farms took my breath away. She told me about the history of the property and the boathouse. She was SO awesome, sweet and knowledgeable. I was sold! I remember standing there thinking, I’m going to marry my husband here. I didn’t even bother to look anywhere else. There was no need to. They do it ALL here! The Spanish moss hanging from the trees was pure romance. It was something out of a fairy tale. Each appointment made to pick out the food, the cake, and the decorations was so stress FREE and fun! Thank you to our wedding coordinator Briana Hoover. She has a real talent for her craft and she is a doll! She makes the decision making SO easy, and she helps you throughout the ENTIRE process. She answers calls, texts, and emails morning, noon, and night. We couldn’t have done it without her. Talk about organization skills! She’s got them all! I cannot say enough about her. She is fantastic and smiles all the time! Kelly did our flowers right there at Up The Creek, and I had guests calling me after the wedding asking where our flowers were from and who did them. The amount of detail and work she put into each bouquet and every flower on all the tables was just incredible. Talk about time consuming! These girls are all fantastic, and I wouldn’t change one thing about the wedding day or planning. They make it look easy, and I know it’s a lot of detail involved in wedding planning. They do it with elegance and class. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here, don’t hesitate. It’ll be everything and MORE than you ever imagined possible on your wedding day. Everything will be on time and run perfectly. Our DJ was DJ Waylon and he read the crowd perfectly! I only wish we could have danced for SO many hours more! Lol! We never wanted the night to end. It even rained up until 20 minutes before the ceremony started, and the benches were wiped dry and the sun even came out! The girls all stayed calm, cool, and collective. It was pure magic. I am lucky enough to say I had the honor to have my wedding at this most incredible venue. And furthermore, I made lifelong friends at this venue. They are a team and a family as they work together. I cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work and professionalism. Their attention to every single detail did not go unnoticed. Everyone that was a guest that night is still talking about our magical night. If you aren’t local, it’s completely 100% worth traveling to have your wedding here. I hope I get to be a guest at a wedding here someday! We got Married November 21st, 2020. Love Up The Creek Farms!!! Thanks a million!! It was the best day of our lives!

is would be the spot to get married. The team does such an amazing job of providing a beautiful, intimate space. Their attention to detail and customer service is unparalleled. Furthermore, they make the wedding planning so easy and low-stress. My planner, Briana, was great. It was because of her that I had zero hiccups on the wedding day and was able to enjoy it to its fullest. She was always on top of things, accommodating, helpful, and especially kind. Additionally, I used UTCF as our floral vendor. Kelly, the venue's extremely talented florist, did an outstanding job. Thank you thank you, Up The Creek Farms, for helping make our dreams come true.

Absolutely perfect! We are still coming down for the high of my daughter’s wedding at Up the Creek Farms! My daughter grew up always saying she would never have an outdoor wedding...
because she didn’t want to stress of possible rain. From the minute she walked onto the grounds of UTC she knew it was the place for her wedding! She didn’t even care if it rained, it would be worth it! The entire staff at UTC went above and beyond to make her day absolutely perfect. Brianna was her wedding planner and was there every step of the way, answering questions, and giving great advice. The options are unlimited, it doesn’t matter what your vision, they can fulfill your dreams.
Kelly did an amazing job with the design and flowers! It is so great to have an entire team right there at UTC to ensure a most beautiful day.
It rained the entire time we were getting ready for the wedding, and there was a 90% chance of rain and my daughter didn’t even care! She knew that what ever happened that Brianna and her crew would take care of everything! At the last minute the rain stopped and the sun came out and the UTC staff went to work setting up the most beautiful wedding!
The entire night if anyone needed anything Brianna was right there with the answer! So many people commented that everything was absolutely perfect!
You can not put a price tag on the sense of calm that you get when planning a wedding at Up the Creek Farms! Thank you so much to Jess, Kelly and Brianna for making Elizabeth and Natasha’s day absolutely perfect!

e professional when it comes to providing a beautiful, wonderfully organized, and truly gorgeous venue. Her staff helped to make our wedding absolutely perfect! The dinner (Executive Catering) was honestly so so good. The DJ (Blue Skies Entertainment) was a blast and kept the dance floor hopping. Kelly our florist/decorator made the already beautiful venue look even more spectacular. She made selecting decor options easy even though there were hundreds of options available. Ouwedding planners (Briana/Kiera) were such a pleasure and unbelievably helpful. They were the perfect wedding assistants. All of these services were arranged by Up The Creek Farms. Everyone of our guests were in awe of the beauty and elegance, not to mention they all had such a fun evening. Up The Creek Farms is the most fantastic wedding venue I’ve ever seen. It could rival any top of the line venues. Thank you all for making our special day, a day filled with wonderful memories!

Looking back, our day was far more than we could have ever dreamed. Thank you, UTCF for making it come to life.

Up the Creek Farms is the most amazing wedding venue! My husband and I got married on 1/24/2020. Jess and Briana are truly amazing at what they do! From the moment we did our tour ...
I knew this was an amazing place but I didn’t think it was possible to be this blow away by how everything turned out. The accommodations are just beautiful. Ceremony site is to die for. And the row house is just the perfect place for a reception. The month leading up to my wedding my coordinator Briana was there making sure all the details were tied down. From the moment we got there for rehearsal Jess and Briana were helping the girls get all our stuff upstairs for us. Jess had everything set up for us when we got back to the house after dinner. Jess spoiled us girls all morning as we were getting ready. Briana spent the day working with the vendors and getting all the details completed. The ceremony and reception were so much more perfect than I could’ve imagined. You don’t realize all the little things that you don’t think of day of and Jess and Briana handled it all for me - I couldn’t have done it without the two of them. Seriously I can’t put into words how lucky we were to be able to get married at Up the Creek! I was sad to have the night end! Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!!!
