Drew and I really enjoyed the rustic beauty of McKinley Creekside Cabins for our wedding.

The creek in the back of the pavilion, corn hole, and fire pit were perfect entertainment for our guests. Creekside’s catering service was getting compliments right and left from our guests because it was absolutely delicious! The hosts took most of the reins in making the menu, taking the stress off of us for planning. We also had them make our wedding cake, a delicious carrot cake. The hospitality manager Liz, and owners Holly and Tracey worked with us before arriving and after to make sure all the details were buttoned up and our day ran as smooth as silk with no hiccups at all, something out of a wedding dream album! -Mrs. Nina Warf
