Big Rock Creek was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the very first inquiry, they were prompt, willing, and accommodating in all of our communications. On the day of the event, their quaint, clean, and friendly venue and staff made everything run smoothly. Their day-of coordinator ensured all the little details were taken care of, and they even provided coolers to keep our flowers and cakes fresh. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. Highly recommend Big Rock Creek to any couples looking for a charming and stress-free wedding experience.

My husband and I were searching for a place that perfectly encapsulated us. We wanted to experience something unique, outdoors, and surrounded by nature. When we came across The Atrium, it felt like a dream come true. Lyndsey and Al went above and beyond to accommodate and support both of us on the wedding day to ensure we had everything we needed more. Al even provided a golf cart for us to ride around in when moving to and from the ceremony to the reception space. The venue was BEYOND perfect and provided such a wonderful atmosphere for all types of people. We kept hearing our families and friends gasp at the venue and telling us how beautiful it was. We truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day, venue, and hosts! We love the atrium!
