Venue
From start to finish, Creekside Cabins & Tavern made planning our wedding weekend stress-free with their responsive communication. The venue itself is stunning – the ceremony and reception areas are exactly what we wanted for an intimate gathering up north. The food was incredible; our guests couldn't stop talking about the quality of each dish. The space felt intimate yet roomy enough for all our loved ones to celebrate together comfortably. The staff handled everything with ease, making sure our day ran smoothly from beginning to end. We couldn’t ask for anything better it was the best day. We'd absolutely recommend Creekside to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with genuine hospitality.

Best Wedding!!!
Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The venue was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for our special day. It truly felt like my dream wedding came to life!! Justin did an amazing job throughout the entire process. He was attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was also delicious! I am still dreaming about those chicken enchiladas. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. If you're looking for a stunning wedding venue with amazing service, I highly recommend Cabins at Creekside!

Perfect venue for the perfect wedding
We had our wedding at the beginning of October and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From planning, to check in, to the rehearsal, to the food, to the actual wedding, and every little detail in between, the ENTIRE Creekside team was so amazing and hardworking. Ashley was SO responsive and helpful with all that went in to planning our weekend, and from the moment we arrived, Justin was there to greet us and ask what he could do to make our wedding perfect. While we were there everyone was running around to prepare for the multiple events we held throughout the weekend and ensuring it all ran so smoothly. We received so many compliments on so many different aspects of the wedding- the beautiful backdrop during the ceremony, the food (especially the enchiladas), the cabins, and the service. We loved getting to have 50 of our favorite people stay right on site and spend the entire weekend with us. We could not recommend Creekside Cabins any more. As a bonus- we’ve stayed at the cabins a few times and eaten at the Tavern (outside of our wedding weekend) and both of those have been amazing each time we’ve stopped by

Beautiful Views & Amazing to work with!
We chose Creekside as our wedding venue and we are SO happy that we did! From our first impression on the venue tour to the day of the wedding, everyone working there was so pleasant and excited to help us have the wedding of our dreams. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The views of the Mogollon Rim are unbeatable. We opted to have our guests stay on property with us for the whole weekend. There are so many outdoor activities to do nearby, and it was such a nice escape from the Phoenix heat. All of our guests loved it! We had the rehearsal dinner out by the big fire pit near the cabins. The staff was very attentive, the food was fresh, and the drinks were cold all night. On our wedding day, we were blown away by how helpful everyone was. We did a lot of the details ourselves, which can be overwhelming, but we had the help of Justin and Josh which made it all flow together seamlessly. One of the best things about this venue, other than the view, is the food. It is the best food we have had at a wedding and all of our guests agreed. We served steak, salmon, and chicken. Each dish was perfectly prepared. We got married at the end of June and had perfect weather. The atmosphere was chill but so fun when it was time to party! Our entire experience getting married here was exactly what we wanted.

Wonderful Wedding
Justin and Josh are so incredibly helpful and make sure that your wedding day runs smoothly. The food was great and the venue is beautiful. The only thing to keep in mind is that these are cabin and can be a little rustic but the beds were comfy, there was AC, and they’re clean! I loved having my wedding here and would definitely choose them again!
