Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start!? Nothing but love over here. Maidenwood was everything we dreamed of and then some! We wanted an outdoor summer wedding with the comfort of modern amenities and Maidenwood is the perfect mix! When we toured the venue, I actually was so moved by the pine forest ceremony site that I cried. The blooming rose bushes and wildflowers coupled with a modern and elegant reception space truly meant we didn’t need much decor. No tablecloths or chair covers needed. Maidenwood is simply gorgeous and speaks for itself. We knew immediately that it was the right fit and booked our date that day. Over the next year, we worked with the owner Steve and his team. They checked in to see how we were doing and were just so easy to talk to, friendly, helpful, organized, professional, the list goes on. After getting married here last week, any expectations we had for the day were exceeded! Steve was a beacon of calm for us all day and Jana ran everything behind the scenes. We didn’t have to worry about a thing all day and were able to fully exist in the moment on our wedding day. It was purely magical! And we got SO many compliments on the venue. Photos do not do justice to Maidenwood, highly recommend checking it out yourself! These folks genuinely want you to have the best day of your life and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, much love from Zak and Ashley!

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • No on-site guest accommodations

We so enjoyed hosting our wedding & reception at Cedar Creek. Its location was close to town for guests coming from far away, yet far enough away to have a true country feel. The barn allowed us to host an indoor ceremony due to less than ideal weather, while the pavilion hosted our larger number of guests for dinner and dancing. We were able to truly make this space feel like our own. The property is filled with amazing natural photo opportunities as well. Would highly recommend this venue for those looking to be more budget friendly or hands-on and have the barn wedding they've always wanted!
