Thousands of twinkling lights turn the forest into something out of a fairy tale. It’s like getting married in a sea of stars. How’s that for romantic?

This spot is a real showstopper. Picture a beautiful gazebo surrounded by nature, with a canopy of twinkling lights overhead. It’s fully customizable too. Want to add some draping or flowers? Go for it! And here’s a little secret The wooden church pews add just the right touch of rustic charm. Your guests will love it!
3. The Meadow
If you’re all about those dreamy sunset photos, the Meadow is your spot. It’s an open space surrounded by nature, perfect for capturing those golden hour moments. I once saw a bride and groom dancing in the Meadow as the sun was setting. The way the light hit them… let’s just say there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
But What If It Rains?
I know what you’re thinking “What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?” Don’t worry! Hidden Creek has got you covered (literally). We’ve got a backup plan to move everything inside the barn. And the best part? We take care of all the details, so you don’t have to stress. This gorgeous ballroom reception area with chandeliers is a practical and aesthetic indoor option.
