Peaceful and charming! When planning our wedding, it was important to us to find a venue that was not only beautiful but also stress free. We couldn't have picked a better or more gorgeous venue. We received lots of compliments on the beauty and naturalness of the place. We had plenty of space to set up a tent for the reception and separate area for our outdoor wedding ceremony. There are many spots to take group, or bride and groom pictures. Our photographer was able to capture timeless pictures with beautiful and natural backdrops. The grounds are adorned with natural landscaping that adds to the beauty of the place. Our wedding party spent the night in the venue’s main house and had nothing but positive things to say. As husband and wife we spent the night in the hidden and quaint cottage, it felt like a mini honeymoon!

We absolutely loved our venue. We had it for the entire weekend which helped so much. All of my bridesmaids stayed in the big house the whole weekend while we got ready for the big day. Alicia was SO flexible with everything and responded to our needs and questions. Very happy with it all!

My wife and I were recently married at Bear Creek Retreat. The grounds were beautiful, (even in Winter) and the house itself helps make such an event truly great. We were able to host multiple family members who flew in from out of state inside the main house, and my bride and I stayed in the small cottage on our wedding night. Everything from the beds to the working fireplace are excellent and Alicia and Denise are a pleasure to work with. Bear Creek Retreat is a great place to be married.
