Miller Creek Landing at Elkhorn Ridge was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was open, kind, and timely, which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional - the venue was beautifully maintained, incredibly convenient, and spotlessly clean. Constance, the venue coordinator, goes above and beyond to make every couple's day flawless. We were thrilled with the level of care and attention to detail they provided, and our guests raved about the stunning setting. We highly recommend Miller Creek Landing to any couple looking for a stress-free, picture-perfect wedding experience.
