It was great to have our ceremony and reception all in one place, and my husband and I loved investing in a venue that provides a service to the Lansing community through nature education programs. Our only snag was that Woldumar had several staffing changes during the course of our wedding planning, so communication with staff was not always consistent or clear. Overall we would recommend hosting your wedding at Woldumar!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Creekside Gathering Place in late September 2024. It was actually the only venue we visited, because as soon as we met Joni and saw the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and the cozy historic barn/reception space, we were in. Joni is so great, she feels like family to us now. The wedding planner, Katie, is essential to making everything run smoothly. She went above and beyond communicating with us and organizing everything. She made sure that we didn't have to do anything other than enjoy ourselves--from the ceremony, to dancing, drinking champagne, and cutting cake--she was amazing. Joni did a beautiful job with our ceremony, and she arranged the most gorgeous flowers. Also the photographer Kellyn is very focused and detail-oriented. She works hard to make sure the pictures are perfect, and she made us feel comfortable. A huge thanks to Creekside for giving us a beautiful day that we will always remember so fondly.
