Cross Creek Ranch

This place is awesome!!!! I found them through an internet search and this place is even better in person. Once you go there you will fall in love and even more so, when it is made up for your wedding. They are truly an amazing group of people. I was a little worried about how it would turn out for my wedding, but I was extremely happy with everything they did. It was nice have someone else worry about all the little details, so you can enjoy the day. The staff is very professional and accommodating and made me feel like a bride should on her wedding day. If you are thinking about this place, go and check it out you will be amazed.

Cross Creek Ranch provides an amazing wedding experience. They are very friendly, helpful, organized and creative. Our expected number of guest increased by about 50 people and they were very adaptive to make our wedding perfect! The wedding day went very smoothly and everything was great! The floral decorations at the ceremony and reception was one of my favorite parts. All the vendors they recommended were excellent. They really took care of everything and made it a stress free experience!

Where do I even start with all the compliments I could write about having your wedding at Cross Creek Ranch!?!?!?! This tiny block may not be enough! First, I would like to give a personal shout out to Emilee Yockey, Nancy Spooner and Kylen Suggs as these ladies, made my day an absolute success…completely flawless! From the moment we toured Cross Creek, I knew it was right for us! The beauty of the place (props to the ground keepers!), the sweet southern feel it gives off and with an elegant outdoor vibe, Cross Creek Ranch is the perfect wedding setting in Florida! I'll try to sum it up for you: Top five reasons to have YOUR wedding at Cross Creek Ranch: 5. You have your ceremony, kiss, now you are Mr. & Mrs. and walk right to your reception! One stop shop with awesome photo ops in between! 4. Food choices, but more importantly (to me at least) DESSERT choices are top notch! 3. You pay to one place, broken up into monthly payments until your day arrives. (Money can sometimes be a make or break in wedding planning so this helped A LOT!) 2. There is a bed and breakfast for you and your girls the night before the wedding…if possible, this is a MUST HAVE! Best. Sleepover. EVER! Oh then all of your prep people (hair/make up, etc.) come to you! 1. You can customize your ENTIRE wedding design and décor…without doing all the work! Who wouldn’t want that?!?! Plus, you ALWAYS having someone to contact with any question (even the not so smart ones)! There is enough stress that will come when planning your wedding but there’s no need to be a Bridezilla when you have your wedding at Cross Creek Ranch! I would recommend this venue to a friend, coworker, an acquaintance or even stranger I meet on the street. The entire CCR team is THAT good. I truly can’t say enough good things about them and how happy, ecstatic, wonderful (etc.) they made me on my wedding day. It was, as they say, the absolute best day of my life! Here's to love, laughter and happily ever after!

I have nothing bad to say about this place!! AMAZING!! If you don't get married here, you are missing out! Emilee and her design eye is the best! She created the wedding of our dreams! Nancy took charge on our wedding day, and as my husband put it "I felt like I was the president on our wedding day". They take care of you every step of the way, don't miss one single detail, and flawlessly execute the wedding of your dreams! We only used recommended vendors, and they were all perfect! Bonnie has the best people working for her and the most unique wedding venue that I have ever seen. It is a far cry from the typical hotel wedding or even the usual FL beach wedding. I received so many complements on our venue. This is a hidden gem!

The staff is what the experience so perfect! Everything was timed well, and all the communication both before the wedding date and in the planning was both personal and professional. Emile, the designer understood my daughters vision and the venue was perfectly decorated down to the smaleest detail. Delanna, our wedding coordinator was a joy to work with and added so much to the day!!!

Holy Cow! Talk about an amazing venue. The price was right and they make everything flow so easy the day of. My mom didnt even have to lift a finger and enjoyed the day as well. They had an answer for everything. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They cared about you as a person and a bride and wanted to make your dreams come true. I could not even have imagined a more perfect day. All my friends loved it just as much and said I had the best wedding by far! It was all thanks to them. I felt like a princess that day. I dont regret anything and I hope you choose them! I promise you wont regret it. The minute I stepped on those grounds I knew this was the place. Being from out of town too they made it so easy to plan my wedding with minimal trips!

Have you ever heard about something or somewhere that seems too good to be true? Well, Cross Creek Ranch is just that and it exists in Dover, Florida. When my fiancée and I began searching for a wedding venue last spring (for our wedding in January 2012), we wanted someplace outdoors with a lot of trees and greenery. After extensive internet searching, we found Cross Creek Ranch, a beautiful estate with a huge grassy expanse and lots of trees. There are a few outdoor wedding ceremony options available, including the Cross Creek signature oak tree, and the reception area is an open stable which can accommodate up to 200 guests. The property also contains a “Man Cave”, a one-room building where the groom and groomsmen can get ready, a cottage for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready, and lots of open areas for the guests to wander and for the cocktail hour. Horseshoes and croquet gaming areas can also be set up for the reception, adding to the relaxed country atmosphere of Cross Creek Ranch. Cross Creek Ranch has been the site of hundreds of weddings, which becomes very obvious when you meet the staff, throughout the wedding planning, and at the wedding ceremony and reception. The easiest way to describe the operation is that it is similar to an all-inclusive resort. Cross Creek Ranch has their own staff and a set of preferred vendors which include a designer, florist, deejay, baker, wedding coordinator, servers, bartender, and a list of preferred caterers. Since everything is handled through Cross Creek Ranch, you will meet with each of these individuals during several meetings on their property (except for the baker and caterer which you will visit at their location for tastings). In addition to a highly skilled and extremely friendly staff, Cross Creek Ranch has a large inventory of items including china, lighting, linens, artificial flowers, chairs and tables, centerpieces, signage, and décor, so all of these items are included as part of your wedding “package”. All of the stress and time of having to find vendors for each of these items vanishes, as Cross Creek Ranch takes care of all of these details. The only three vendors that you are responsible for procuring on your own, in order to give you the most flexibility for your big day, are your wedding officiant, photographer, and videographer. In meeting with the specialists at Cross Creek Ranch, it is easy to see that they were very carefully chosen, are experts in their field, and are very detail oriented. They will go through every detail of the ceremony and reception including flowers, seating charts, centerpieces, song choices, timeline and order of wedding events, special requests, and cake design and cutting. At the wedding and reception, they are in constant communication with each other and will keep the photographer and videographer informed every step of the way so that everything stays on track and so no opportunities are missed. There are also several options that you can add to the wedding package including a horse drawn carriage for the wedding ceremony, a bonfire (with s’mores), the rehearsal dinner, and use of the bed and breakfast on property, among others. There is honestly no way to put in words the beauty of the property, the commitment to detail and excellence of the staff, and how little stress was involved on our part in the planning and execution of as perfect a wedding as we ever could have imagined. We know that we made the right decision trusting the most important day of our lives to Bonnie and her team at Cross Creek Ranch.

You really can tell if your wedding was a hit by the comments from your guests. So many of mine contacted me after the wedding or even discussed among themselves how beautiful the venue was. Every detail was covered, every request was fulfilled. Nancy, Bonnie, Emilee, Jean and the numerous others were phenomenal. They took care of everything and guided me every step of the way. With Cross Creek you are not just a number, you are a part of their family. Thanks again Ladies!!

There really are no words to describe how happy i was with Cross Creek Ranch. my wedding was November 4, 2011. The venue, the staff, EVERYTHING was over the top. They cater to you in every way. I would strongly advice anyone who is considering this venue to take a trip there and meet with Bonnie, Emilee and the rest of the team because what they offer is so much more than words can describe. I'd give them 1000 stars if i could! I stayed at the Bed & Breakfast on property with my bridesmaids the night before the wedding and it was WELL worth it. All of our vendors that we ended up using were ones that they recommended and everything was just wonderful. After all the meetings there and my big day... I have to say that i'll genuinely miss that place. There is just something so cozy about it... sigh... Anywho - three thumbs up for Cross Creek Ranch!!!

I had my gorgeous ceremony and reception at Cross Creek Ranch on September 24th, 2011. I could not have been more happy with my wedding day. They really make dreams come true! My husband and I were so happy with everything. We had a shabby chic and elegant light pink and white wedding. When I walked in to see the reception area before my guests arrived I literally cried of happiness because it was that beautiful. The staff is also very nice and professional and very prompt. They really take a lot of stress out of the planning process as well. I would definitely recommend CCR to a future bride and groom. It was just a beautiful place.

Cross Creek Ranch was beautiful. They were very helpful and seemed just as excited to have our wedding there as we were. They were all very nice and kept in touch with us throughout the planning process. It was great that it is an all inclusive place. It made my life so much easier to allow them to decorate and plan my wedding. I got to have everything that I wanted and they gave their opionions on things that I was unsure of. I would recommend this venue to any bride that is getting married. You have so much on your plate as it is, take a load off and allow Cross Creek Ranch to do the work for you so that you can enjoy your special day.

Cross Creek Ranch is a beautiful venue and the staff is simply wonderful. We could not have been happier with our choice to hold our wedding ceremony and reception at Cross Creek Ranch. They made our entire wedding planning process such a joy and completely stress free! Our ceremony and reception turned out absolutely beautiful thanks to the staff at CCR. We would recommend them to anyone in a heart beat!

Cross Creek Ranch was amazing. Throughout the whole planning process, Bonnie, Emilee, Nancy, and the rest of the staff were so helpful and responsive. Even though I was very satisfied with Cross Creek during the planning process, and really had high expectations for how everything would come together, I was absolutly blown away on my wedding day. I could not believe the amount of thought, care, and attention to detail that Bonnie and everyone at Cross Creek put into creating my wedding. I didn't worry about a thing the whole night, and brides, that is a wonderful feeling. Everything was set up beautifully, Nancy made sure the ceremony went on without a hitch, and my bridal attendant was so good that I don't think I ever had to ask for anything, it had already been thought out and done. It turned out to be a very cold day, and Cross Creek even had blankets for the guests! I'm just grateful for everything that Cross Creek did to make my wedding so special, and highly recommend it to any bride looking for a rustic and beautiful outdoor venue.

Top notch! I didn't have to answer any questions or worry about any minor details on my wedding day. Cross Creek has prepared for everything and puts a bride's mind at ease. Our guests were very impressed!

We were so incredibly pleased with how awesome our wedding day was at Cross Creek Ranch! Everything was seriously picture perfect. Our guests are still raving about how awesome this venue was and that our wedding was the best they have ever been too. Many of our guests said they are going to remember CC for future events. I told them they couldn't go wrong. Really can't thank everyone enough for the work that they put into our wedding. So much goes on behind the scenes which can easily seem transparent to the bride and groom and wedding family. All the attention to details and how organized everything was absolutely tremendous. No one was bored or felt confused as to what was going on. You created a very casual and warm heart-ed atmosphere. Everything was to our expectations and more. We will continue to say good things about CCR for the rest of our lives because we just couldn't be happier with the choice we made in this location.

My daughter's wedding was about a week ago at Cross Creek Ranch. It was a magical event. I feel so good that I was able to provide a storybook wedding for my daughter at such a reasonable cost. There are several reasons that I am so happy with how things turned out. First, weddings aren't cheap. But here I am a week after the wedding and have no regrets on a penny spent. The venue was beautiful; the wedding service was moving; the reception was joyful; and the couple's exit under a shower of sparklers was awesome! It's a great feeling making your daughter happy on her wedding day. Second, the planning and communication were tremendous. My daughter lives nearby in Florida but her mom and I are from Virginia. Yet, there was no miss-communication. Our daughter could stop by for planning sessions and the staff at CCR and I communicated easily by email and phone. The event came off without a hitch, just as planned. Third, the optional on-site bed and breakfast was great. The bride and all her attendants spent the wedding eve at the B&B - there were no travel headaches, everyone was on-site the entire day of the wedding. All the hair and make-up preparations took place in the privacy of the B&B. The girls had a great time and there was such a lessening of tension by having everyone together prior to the ceremony. Do this if at all within your budget! Last, the staff at CCR are just such a joy to work with. They are professional, caring, and cheerful. They provided excellent recommendations for services that they don't provide. They were always available when needed. Many people commented on how beautiful the wedding was. My daughter was very happy with the wedding. I am very happy to have had this experience and provided a lifetime memory for my daughter and her husband.

The people at Cross Creek Ranch made my wedding unforgettable. The decoration was so beautiful and matched exactly the colors and theme of my wedding. The service and personality of Bonnie, Sawn and Nancy made me and my guests feel like home. I would say that for a outdoors wedding, this is the absolute perfect place, not only for the service but also for the competitive price. A carefree wedding guaranteed!

I had a wedding there only a few weeks ago... It was amazing... Everything turned out so beautiful!! It was a fairytale dream that came true. The staff were very helpful the day of the wedding and they helped me plan everything. It was worth every penny!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

I got married a few weeks ago at cross creek ranch, and my wedding was everything I ever envisioned and more. They went above and beyond making sure my wedding was unique and beautiful. I will recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!!!!!!!! :)

Bonnie and her team did an AMAZING job planning my wedding!!!! I absolutely loved working with her and she went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding needs, both design wise and also financially. Bonnie was like a second mom during my wedding, helping me through the process, and really tailoring not just the wedding but the whole wedding process itself so that I am a very happy and relaxed bride. Her design team is absolutely phenomenal, everyone was raving about how beautiful my wedding venue was!!!!!!! Cross Creek Ranch is a beautiful venue, look no further, future brides!!!!!!!! You will get a very different wedding and you'll be sure to feel like Cinderella on your big day.
