September 12th, 2020 will forever be our favorite day...at our favorite place! Wow, where do we even begin?! Every second of the weekend was a dream and would not have been possible without the wonderful accommodations and folks at Mill Creek Equestrian Center. Y’all truly make the world go round!

Being a 2020 bride was far from easy, but Michelle was such an answered prayer. She treats everyone like family!

Mill Creek Equestrian crafted a recommended vendor list, which made selecting credited vendors extremely easy. In addition to the most gorgeous 150+/ acre working horse farm, there is a Manor on site which is beautifully decorated in an upscale gypsy western fashion! It was the perfect place for a rehearsal dinner and place for the bridesmaids and family to stay and get ready! In addition to this, there’s is a bunkhouse available too that is also decorated beautifully and is a great place for the guys to get ready and stay! The Sip N Spur 2 horse trailer converted to a bar was the perfect touch for the reception. Michelle’s creativity and passion for young people and the wedding industry is evident by every little detail at Mill Creek Equestrian.

Mill Creek Equestrian, thank you for your time and for your talents. ✨

First, let me say that this venue was the perfect choice and we would choose it again and again, a thousand times over. I cannot stress how important it is to have a venue owner who loves what she does. From start to finish, owner, Michelle Higdon played an integral role in helping us pull off the wedding of our daughter's dreams! We felt like family and it was very clear that she is passionate about both the venue and the couples getting married there.

One unique feature that we fell in love with was the Manor located at the venue. The wedding party was able to stay on site in the most luxurious home for the entire weekend! What fun it was to have everyone staying and celebrating the big event. It also made it possible for us to be close during set up for any issues that arose. My daughter even had a special treat waiting when she arrived the Friday before from the Venue! That special touch meant so much to us and helped set the tone for the upcoming weekend! I wouldn't hesitate to encourage brides with OTHER venues to look at the Manor as an option for out of town family or pre-wedding celebrations! It really is THAT gorgeous and so comfy!

We chose the peninsula as the wedding sight and held the wedding right at dusk. Floating lanterns in the pond, combined with Michelle's already beautifully lit space made for the perfect Fairy Tale night wedding. I could not have been happier with the outcome and cannot wait to see the final photos and video of that night!

There are so many unique features about this venue. We truly had trouble deciding where and how to coordinate the wedding. There is an amazing old barn on the farm that called to us. The fencing, lighting, the pond, horses grazing in the fields...So many options to use for photo ops and wedding settings! We even had the option to move to the new state of the art covered horse arena should rain grace our day!

A couple of helpful hints should you tour the place:
1. Beg Michelle to show you her new "Sippin' Spur" (a horse trailer converted into the bar of your dreams!) Consider it as an option for your wedding. So cool!
2. Don't be afraid to speak candidly about any unusual requests you might have (we temporarily installed a lantern on the peninsula for our wedding).
3. Don't panic if it looks like rain. We had rain right up until the Thursday before the wedding. Michelle made a point to meet with us early the week before and help plan the back up. (PS. The rain stopped, it drained off nicely and the wedding was amazing)
4. Don't let the dirt road leading to the event deter you. Michelle is amazing about staying in touch with county road maintenance and the road was perfect the night of our wedding.
5. Book Now and Early! Michelle is constantly refining and working to make this the go to wedding venue in our area! Her passion, dedication and obvious love of the place and the people she is serving, coupled with the stunning beauty of the venue itself, it isn't hard to see why her calendar stays booked!

A million thanks to Michelle and her staff at Millcreek. As most mothers do, I've dreamt my entire life of giving my daughter the perfect fairy tale wedding. I can honestly say, without reservation, Michelle and Mill Creek Equestrian played the single most important role in helping us bring that to fruition!

I have been witness to many weddings at this location and they are all so beautiful. Perfect location for any couple seeking a private gorgeous southern venue. The house is surrounded by rolling landscaped greenery which is also home to many friendly horses. Michelle is also very easy to communicate and plan with.
