If I could give Gin Creek 100 stars I would! Gin Creek blew us away from the day we toured it to the day we checked out after the wedding. Doug, Meaghan, Mark and their entire crew do everything they can to ensure you have the exact wedding experience you want. They bend over backwards to try to accommodate you as best they can, while also allowing flexibility for you to outsource vendors if you prefer. Honestly, the minute we toured Gin Creek we knew we wanted to do our wedding there because we were looking for vendors who were genuinely dedicated to helping you have the most perfect wedding day.
The venue itself is unbelievably beautiful. With it being large enough for multiple weddings at a time, you have many options of where to have your wedding onsite. We chose the Vineyard side, for a ceremony at the outdoor Tuscan Pergola and a reception under the three-peak Reception Tent. What we loved about this option was that Gin Creek offered the barn as well as a backup for the ceremony in case it rained, and being a type-A planner I knew I needed to have a plan-B in place. We watched the weather that whole week, everyday it changed from rain to no rain, and they were willing to wait up until the day before to make a decision as to whether we would want to switch our ceremony to the barn (they'd need a day to add the drapery and greenery I would have wanted in the barn if so). They even let me come out and "bury the bourbon" to try to ward off any rain! We lucked out with the most beautiful day, and Doug drove us back over to the spot where I buried it to unbury it after our reception ended.
Another AMAZING perk of this venue are the onsite cottages available to rent, so your family and/or friends can stay on property. This perk was HUGE because it made the venue feel even more private and personal. We happened to be the only wedding on the property that weekend, so we really lucked out, but even if you weren't the only wedding happening the venues are far enough away from each other than you would have your own space.
Doug, Meaghan and Mark treat you almost like you're a family member using the family property for your wedding. They are just unbelievably genuine and kind people, I wish I had enough words to express my gratitude toward them. Your wedding weekend is so special but can be quite stressful if you don't have the right support team, and with this family we felt more than supported but also celebrated. I truly mean it when I say I wouldn't have changed a single thing.
If you're looking for wedding venues do yourself a favor and tour this place. They are amazing people and it's a beautiful location. You won't be...
ย ย ย Read moreI just had the privilege of photographing a wedding at Gin Creek. Besides being a vendor, I was also there as a guest of the bride and groom. We stayed the weekend at the cabins with the entire bridal party and family. We had breakfast, rehersal and rehersal dinner on property. We were able to decorate everything the day before the wedding instead of having to wait till the wedding day. Any time there was any question, worry, or something not working quite right, the family who owns Gin Creek was out there taking care of it. Every person who worked there was friendly, and truly cared that everyone had the best experience possible.
My experience was so good, I was constantly wishing that this venue was closer to me so that I could work there more often. I think a lot of wedding venues where I live could learn a thing or two from Gin Creek. My client's experience there was stress free. Honestly, I think the hardest part was the wifi going out, because we all didn't have cell service out there, and that was due to the service provider, not Gin Creek.
If you are considering a wedding venue near Valdosta, GA I cannot recommend this one enough. They have enough property to offer multiple venue locations, and even have a horse and carriage. If you are looking for a rustic, vintage, cottage core, or woodland themed wedding, this...
ย ย ย Read moreMy family and I were forced to evacuate from Sarasota, FL for Hurricane Milton. Finding โThe Olive Houseโ at Gin Creek was a HUGE blessing. The house was gorgeous, perfect for a large family and they were so gracious to allow us all our pets. The winery was on-site, and seconds away from our house. The team at Gin Creek created a sweet little community for all the evacuees that came to stay in their cabins. They treated us to free wine tastings and brick oven pizza. It was SO wonderful and we cannot say enough about the amazing hospitality and service we experienced at Gin Creek. The property is TRULY breathtaking. If you are a bride looking for a beautiful place to host your family and your wedding PLEASE consider Gin Creek. The owner and their family are the kind of folks you just want to see succeed because of how kind and generous they are! Thanks again for all your amazing hospitalityโฆ we will be BACK and hopefully on better terms than evacuating for...
