This is a review from a bride that booked Shadow Creek for her July wedding. From the moment we visited Shadow Creek and met with Lori we knew we had to book this venue. Lori was kind, helpful, and calm. She explained everything so thoroughly and then took a few calls afterward to clarify any questions I had. The venue is so beautiful it doesn't need any selling :) But Lori and team really shined as the planning process went on. They answered questions IMMEDIATELY and were available anytime we needed. On the wedding day, we were met a really large unexpected thunderstorm and all the programs we had laid out on chairs outside started to get wet. I was pretty distraught but Lori sprang into action and started drying out the ones that had been salvaged, put them into a basket and they were fine! She and Jimmy are just such professionals I was in awe. They've clearly done this a million times and done it really well. After the storm passed the venue was the most beautiful setting I've been in. Guests wouldn't stop gushing. I highly recommend choosing Shadow Creek as your wedding venue. Thank you Lori and Jimmy :)
From the second we took a tour, Shadow Creek was our dream wedding venue. Couples come in and out of their doors every week but when it is your day the Shadow Creek Wedding team goes above and beyond to make you feel like their priority. A few examples: there was a downpour about an hour before our ceremony. As soon as the sun came out the owner Lori was outside with a leaf blower drying the patio. We were also short a few chargers for plates and Lori ran home to grab some similar ones for us to use. She even held my dress while I walked across wet grass and before I walked down the aisle. All things you might expect from a good friend or family member, but feel so special coming from a wedding venue. We had a completely stress free experience because Shadow Creek has a plan B for almost every possible situation and ensured that all of the details we went over in our month out walk through were executed exactly as we discussed. We felt so lucky to get married in such a beautiful venue with owners that truly care about their couples. The cherry on top was the guest of honor, Gus, who joined us for cocktail hour. I can’t recommend the venue and experience enough!
Great venue for weddings! Beautiful sight view, the place is simple but at the same time elegant. We had a great time this past Saturday at one of my friends wedding. The reception was good even though it rained like crazy we were still able to enjoy the outdoor space
We loved having Shadow Creek as our wedding venue! The building and surrounding areas are spectacularly beautiful. The string lighting and drapery they have in the building really elevate the inside above your typical barn style venue. Lori and her team at Shadow Creek were also exceptionally helpful, suggesting an incredible team of vendors for our wedding, helping us make a great plan for the flow of the wedding, and helping throughout the day of the event! We loved getting married here and couldn’t imagine having our day anywhere else!
The good: The venue and property was beautiful. The venue owner, Lori was very responsive via email and answered all of our questions throughout the planning process. Jimmy, who I believe represented both P.I.G.S BBQ and the venue was AMAZING to work with. He seemed to have thought of every little detail and was extremely attentive throughout the night. Gus, the horse, was such a fun and unique touch and the guests absolutely loved him! The bad: Before initial booking, I was verbally informed of the venue being dog-friendly (I spoke to Lori directly on this). This was important as it was one of the only criteria for our wedding venue and so much planning and preparation went into including our dog on our big day. I coordinated the transportation and arrangements for my extremely well-behaved golden retriever to be fed during his dinner time, remain on a leash inside during the reception and be taken home at 11pm in a pet-friendly vehicle with a trustworthy sitter. The day of my wedding, Lori confronted me and informed me that their pet policy was actually “ceremony-only,” and that my dog was not welcome during the reception (although this “pet policy” is not located anywhere in their contract). After contacting my day-of coordinator and reviewing my contract to confirm there was no mention of this pet-policy, Lori reluctantly allowed him to stay, with the condition that he remains outside during the reception, which I had no choice but to agree to, as we had no other accommodations prepared. While we were getting ready in the bridal suite, I did not have the dog on a leash as we were in a small, closed-off area of the venue. Lori was walking through and let the dog outside with no leash and/or person to keep an eye on him and did not communicate to anyone that she let him outside. Fortunately, I was watching at the exact moment this happened and we brought him back inside immediately, however, I felt this was done intentionally. I understand it wasn’t Shadow Creek’s responsibility to be responsible for him, however, common courtesy should dictate not risking a bride’s beloved pet potentially running away hours before her wedding. In the weeks following, I have had family and friends inform me of how unprofessional and unpleasant the venue’s management, specifically Veronica, was to deal with as they were approached several times throughout the night with emerging questions and concerns regarding the dog. This supposedly continued well after he was taken outside, remaining there throughout the night. They described Veronica’s behavior as harassment and also informed me of several not-so-subtle negative remarks about the dog. One guest, a professional event coordinator in her personal life, supposedly asked Veronica for a copy of their contract to review the pet-policy, to which she “huffed, rolled her eyes, and walked away.” Although my guests were kind enough to offer to stay with him outside throughout the night, it obviously was not the experience that I expected from such a reputable venue. As a professional project manager and event coordinator in a corporate setting, I know an appropriate approach would have been to allow the dog to stay (as it is the venue’s responsibility to provide a clear list of policies in writing), use the $8,000+ venue payment towards additional cleaning measures (if their concern was allergies), use the $1,000 security deposit to cover any potential damages from the pet (had there been any), and to update their contract to avoid similar issues in the future. During the event, they requested to keep my flowers for a personal affair for Veronica. This late-breaking request caught me by surprise and I felt pressured to say yes. With Shadow Creek’s experience in hosting events, they should understand that a bride would reasonably request advance notice to keep their florals and/or have offered compensation for them. It was inappropriate and distasteful to ask someone, the day-of their wedding, to keep florals that did not belong to them.
