What a treasure! I recently delivered and set up florals I created for a wedding. I had never been to the nursery/venue before, and I must say my curiosity was peaked. Wow…this was more magical than I could have imagined! Not only is the property historical, the charms of the buildings and patios were like walking through an English garden. Upon going inside, I was again, enamored with the vibe of this venue! It had a modern rustic charm to it- bright white walls, warm wood features & an antique garden gazebo, among other unique features. It was enchanting to say the least! It is perfect for an intimate event. It has plenty of space for many guest tables, features tables (food, photo) and photo opportunities. The natural light through the windows that look out onto the patio gardens provide a perfect blend of letting the beauty of nature in. The staff was very friendly, helpful & hospitable. I met several of the staff that day and you could tell they loved what they do out at Marketplatz. I am very much looking forward to my next event there.

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!
