“I can't say enough good things about Rosedale. Firstly, the venue is stunningly beautiful. It really needs no "dressing-up". Secondly, Jen is so nice and so helpful. Not only did she answer all my silly questions but did so promptly and with a smile. Working with this venue was such a breeze it felt odd not to have to worry about so many things. We chose to go with the all inclusive package which meant we had access to the whole venue from getting ready to our outdoor photos, ceremony in the beautiful gazebo, and the reception hall. Lastly, the catering is fantastic. We attended multiple tastings and loved everything they served. We ultimately went with the classic menu simply because it fit into our budget the best. If we had more room in the budget, we would have gone with a custom menu because we tasted so many delicious offerings that were not on a set menu. I would highly recommend this venue and catering company.”

“My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we went with Copper Creek for our wedding! Kelly and her team were great to work with while planning! We were in contact with a coordinator that they provided 45 days out from our wedding which made everything so much easier and was a lot of help! We loved the space and that we could have a smaller ceremony outside with a larger reception inside. They let us use their outside bar area as a coffee station that we provided everything for, I am so thankful they let us do that! The coordinator was there all day and for set up and helped me with so much on my big day. I couldn’t say enough good things!!”
