About this venue

Oakwood Creek was built in the 1930s by WW Wood and his wife Leanora. Wood drove a truck that hauled dairy milk from the outlying ranches into the town of Julian. Later on, Wood would operate B&L Liquor on the main street. The remains of W's garage are still very apparent on the property today, along with his goat shed & stables. We have one of the last intact water towers in the historic district. The property has been preserved to reflect the period in which it was built. This beautiful venue sits atop a picturesque knoll overlooking the historic town of Julian. Sherry Horton, owner of Oakwood Creek Celebrations, offers signature style that everyone—no matter their affair—will find "oh so easy". Growing up in rural Ohio, Sherry brings the style of country that is reminiscent of simpler gracious time, learning from her grandmother Emma Barrett of all things romantically beautiful. Sherry’s work has been featured in Country Living Magazine, Where Women Create, and San Diego Magazine.

The Oakwood Creek Celebrations staff were a joy to work with! I am so grateful that the staff customized a great package for our wedding day, with very short notice. Our Officiant Rev Hannah Wilder, performed a beautiful ceremony by the koi pond. The location is gorgeous, and the staff made us feel as if we were family. Every detail of our wedding was beautifully done, making the entire experience amazing and completely stress free. A million thanks to our wedding coordinator Sherry, who went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and even took photos for us, since we didn't have a photographer. Our wedding was better than anything I dreamed of!

Oakwood Creek made our wedding dreams come true...if you are looking for a rustic, charming, cozy, and intimate venue, look no further - you have found it in Oakwood Creek. As a couple that paid for our wedding ourselves, finding the perfect venue, location, setting all within budget started out challenging. But after one tour at Oakwood Creek, we knew right away we found our venue. (It actually was our first and only tour, that's how certain we were.) We had 35 guests (planned for 40) and it was the perfect size. My husband and I only wanted our closest friends and family so this venue was perfect for us. We were able to get plate rentals through the venue and coordinated all of our vendors through Oakwood Creek. The entire team at Oakwood Creek is amazing. I definitely had a few moments of tears before the wedding after 100% rain was forecasted on my wedding day but the team pivoted everything indoors for the reception and we were able to do the ceremony outside. They all kept me grounded and answered every single one of my questions (there were MANY) lol! If you are looking for not just a stunning venue but also a wonderful and kind team that will make the best day of your life even more memorable, definitely schedule a tour at Oakwood Creek and book your wedding day now!

Catering vendors with “full service” can also provide wait staff/bussers which you will need on your big day until 9:30pm. Caterers who have not been to OWC before are required to do a walk through prior to being booked by couple no later than 30 days prior to the event and there is a $200 admin fee to approve a new caterer. OWC has beautiful tableware rentals available for reasonable rates! Ask our coordinator for details.

We have partnered with Julian Beer Company as our in-house bar service provider! Their packages start at $25.00 per person: • Your choice of two craft beers • Red and white wine • Free Gift Certificates for beer & wine tastings • Plus tax and grauity • Contact Jeremy for details. All alcoholic beverages must be served by our in-house ABC Certified bartender with liquor liability insurance for your wedding day at our bar. No hard liquor is allowed at the venue – no exceptions. Please inform all your guests prior to the wedding day.

Over the years we have worked with some excellent professionals that we highly recommend and trust completely to work with our couples. These vendors are listed in our “Preferred Vendor List”. We also love working with new professionals and require any companies that have not been to our property before to chat with our staff before you book them. This ensures we have the necessary setup for them, and they provide all the services required to make your event successful.

We have the pleasure of having the staff of Family Affair Weddings handle all the details from wedding planning, running the rehearsal, to wedding coordination on the big day! This service is included in our venue rental fee.

● We require a Certificate of Liability Insurance from all vendors bringing items onto our property or using any of our inventory, listing ‘E. Barrett and Company, Inc.’ as additionally insured. ● Renters are required to purchase an Event Insurance policy for the day of event. Our insurance agent is happy to help all of our clients with this requirement.

Also included in our venue rental pricing is the professional services of Preston Foreman and his amazing team!

Our staff provides setup/breakdown of OWC tables, chairs, and décor and is present throughout the duration of every event to assist with our guests as needed.

The $250 Cleaning Fee is the only add-on fee we have, everything else is included – such a great deal! For the Venue Rental fee, we require 50% down on contract signing and the 50% balance is due 30 days prior to the event along with the $250 Cleaning Fee.

Due to our location and exposure to nature, only dogs are allowed that are friendly and not trained hunting dogs. They are welcome to attend the ceremony only as well as photos after the ceremony and arrangements must be made for the reception. They are also required to always be on a leash and cannot enter the Venue House, Bath House photo booth, Bridal Salon, or Groom’s Trailer at any time. We have a $150 pet fee and allow up to 2 dogs.

We encourage guests to go to Julian’s Chamber of Commerce’s website and click on the Lodging link for several suggestions

Since we often have tours after events on the following day, all personal items and any leftover beer or wine must be taken by the client at the end of the event.

We ask our clients to arrive no earlier than the contracted 10:00am start time.

Yes, we have lots of items you are welcome to borrow for your big day. Everything is listed in our Look Book and our coordination team will be happy to send it to you. We also offer some specialty items for a reasonable rental fee.
