Our outdoor wedding ceremony was in early September; a gorgeous 70 day! The flowers in the front garden were in full bloom. Vibrant purples, pinks, yellows, greens, white made for ZERO decoration and savings galore! Almost 6 years later, my guests still tell me that my wedding was the most fun and relaxing one they'd ever been to. I'm so thankful for Garten Marketplatz and the relaxing atmosphere. I wouldn't have changed a single thing about my perfect day.

We so enjoyed hosting our wedding & reception at Cedar Creek. Its location was close to town for guests coming from far away, yet far enough away to have a true country feel. The barn allowed us to host an indoor ceremony due to less than ideal weather, while the pavilion hosted our larger number of guests for dinner and dancing. We were able to truly make this space feel like our own. The property is filled with amazing natural photo opportunities as well. Would highly recommend this venue for those looking to be more budget friendly or hands-on and have the barn wedding they've always wanted!
