Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Wheelchair accessible

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
When we began looking for possible wedding venues, we came across the Outback and was the best decision we could have made. The venue location sits beautifully in the bluffs and is isolated enough that we felt like our wedding was ours and everything we needed was either provided to us by Holly or was easy to find. Our guests stayed in LaCrosse and it was easy for us to get transportation to and from the venue. One of the biggest pluses was having the apartments available to us. We were able to arrive and stay at the venue the entire weekend. Which made everything less stressful for us. Cannot recommend this venue more.

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!
