Creekside Barn was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication style was direct, polite and incredibly quick - they responded to all of our questions and requests in a timely manner. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made all of our guests feel right at home. The Creekside Barn team went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect, even dealing with some rude family members in a professional and assertive yet polite manner. We were not originally planning to use Creekside Barn, but after seeing the venue and working with their team, we are so glad we did. Our wedding day could not have been more beautiful or special thanks to Creekside Barn.

It’s been a year since we got married at The Pick Inn and never once do we reflect and regret anything! Amanda and her awesome staff did an amazing job. They placed everything so perfectly from the chairs and pergola arrangements and all the odds and ends I brought. They made the day run smoothly, I actually noticed zero wedding day hiccups. So kuddos to the team if there were any. We could not have had the wedding we did without Amanda, their vendor recommendations, and the beautiful venue itself! People still talk to me about how beautiful the venue was a year later. It is truly so dreamy and peaceful. Amanda was always available for questions that we had, which was super helpful as an anxious bride to be! My husband and I are so thankful that we found The Pick Inn and if we were able, we would do it all again (but only at The Pick Inn). :)

From the moment we booked Grahams Estate, the communication with Michele and the Graham family was fast, effective and reliable. They made the process of planning our wedding so easy and took care of everything, ensuring a stress-free day for us and our guests. The venue itself has an elegant, country flair that perfectly matched our vision. The Graham family was so personable throughout the experience, never making us feel like just another couple.

Even though we booked just two months before the wedding, putting a lot of pressure on them, they brought our vision to life with warmth and hospitality. 5 stars are simply not enough for this wonderful venue!

Chef Christopher's wife, Brenda, quickly fell in love with being an entrepreneur and become the CEO of the company. Two of their sons now work in the kitchen and one son is in sales and operations. Running a family business wasn't their original intention, it just happened naturally. But "the family" doesn't stop with just the Newtons. All our team members quickly become family! We tend to attract very passionate and detail oriented staff members whose #1 goal is to meet and exceed your expectations. We all love what we do and it shows.
