Otter Creek Farm: Wedding Bliss in the Foothills

 

Facilities Abound for Hassle-free Wedding Packages

Otter Creek is a sprawling venue that offers more than enough amenities for couples. The one thing couples seem to keep repeating is that the venue’s staff is one-of-a-kind. Couples spend a little more money by choosing Otter Creek Farm, but a stress-free wedding is worth the extra cost.

The Venue Rental Wedding Package is for up to 300 guests and includes:

• Facilities for the wedding and reception, rehearsal dinner and even the bridesmaids’ brunch or luncheon.
• Changing rooms for the bride and groom.
• Wedding planner services, with access to a list of reliable vendors.
• Access to Otter Creek’s superb chef.
• Shuttle to the wedding from the parking area.
• Set up and taken down.
• Chairs, tables and access to the audio-visual systems.

Plus, with this package, you’ll have access to the outdoor patio, game room, garden pavilion, grill house, ceremony site, pool area and more. This package does not include the Stables or the Hill Cottage.

 

Couples can also choose a Signature Wedding experience, which is a new package and offers an upscale, fine-dining wedding experience. Enjoy the magic of Otter Creek Farm with a luxurious wedding for up to 150 friends and family. But with the Signature package, it’s an all-inclusive deal that includes the venue’s selection of vendors. If you want to hire your own photographer (like me), you do lose a little freedom with this package. Otter Creek Farm can host weddings of 50 to 300 guests.

PS. There are a few additional items that you can add to your wedding, which I’ve put at the end of the article.

 

 

Serene Landscapes and Facilities That I Love as a Photographer

Otter Creek Farm sits in the Appalachian foothills, making it an absolutely stunning place for photos. Say “I do” under the gorgeous, covered pavilion. A chandelier and flowers take ceremony pictures over the top. The rustic-themed brides changing area gives me a chance to take some beautiful pre-ceremony shots of the bride and her party.

The Grand Room and its patio are great for golden-hour photos of the couple and guests. I love taking photos by the fire pit on the green. The warm, cozy lighting makes for some truly unforgettable shots. Elegant walkways, rustic porches with magical lighting and the cutest indoor Grand Room make for some of the best picture-taking opportunities possible.

There’s no shortage of exquisite spaces to capture the essence of a wedding at this venue. It’s breathtaking at every corner.

 

 

Unconventional Activities for Sport-Loving Couples

Otter Creek Farm is more than just a wedding venue. They also offer a wide range of sporting activities for couples and their guests to enjoy, like:

• Sporting clays and sporting clays courses
• Trout fishing
• Bass fishing
• Shooting at the pistol and rifle range
• Horseshoes

Lodgings make it easy for couples and guests to make a weekend of it.
