We are a unique wedding and reception facility located just 25 minutes east of the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro. The beauty of our glass chapel is that you feel like you are having an amazing outdoor wedding but you are in the comfort of a climate controlled building regardless of what cards Mother Nature deals you on your special day. Your guests will appreciate the convenience of our reception space just a short (and very beautiful) walk away!

Almost 90 degrees in October?! Is it summer or fall?! Someone might need to remind Mother Nature what month it is.

Today, Cassie and Zach are bringing a little boho vintage charm to Willow Creek with warm, earthy tones and plenty of fairy lights to set the mood. But some of the best details aren’t just about the decorations!

They created a sweet trip down memory lane with a row of signs featuring photos from different years. It’s such a fun, personal way to share pieces of their story with the people gathered to celebrate them!

Guests can leave a message on their audio guest book, grab a snack from the popcorn and dessert bar, or swing by the coffee station for a little pick-me-up. Plenty of ways to keep everyone happy throughout the celebration!

But my favorite twist of the day? Flower grandmas instead of flower girls! I absolutely love when couples take a familiar wedding tradition and make it their own. And really, why should the little ones get to have all the fun?!

Cassie and Zach, we hope your day is filled with lots of laughter, sweet memories, and all the people who make life special. And may your marriage have just as much warmth as this very-un-October October day! Congratulations!!!

Some days make it especially easy to love an outdoor wedding, and today is definitely one of them! Gorgeous weather, beautiful surroundings, and a little fall color to bring it all together.

Ashlea and Justin’s wedding décor embraced the season with deep, saturated fall hues that added warmth and richness to the setting. There’s something about those bold autumn colors that just feels right this time of year.

Fall has a way of making everything feel a little cozier, and today is the perfect reminder that you don’t have to choose between the beauty of the outdoors and the atmosphere of the season. You can have both!

Ashlea and Justin, we hope your wedding day is everything you dreamed of and that the memories made here today are just the beginning of a beautiful life together. Congratulations!!!

Blue skies, sunshine, and a little storybook magic. It’s a beautiful day at Willow Creek for Katie and Ethan to say “I do”!

Their cottagecore, whimsical academia vision brought a subtle touch of charm to the day. Greenery draped around pillars on the stage, lanterns lined the aisle, and simple glass terrariums decorated the tables. Nothing overdone, just little details that added to the atmosphere without taking away from the beauty of the setting.

With hardly a cloud in the sky and the natural surroundings all around them, it’s easy to see how this kind of wedding comes together. Sometimes you don’t need to fill every space with decorations. A few thoughtful touches and a setting that feels like it belongs in a storybook can do plenty all on their own.

Katie and Ethan, we hope today feels like the beginning of your very own favorite story, with plenty of beautiful chapters still to come. Congratulations!

Wildflowers, cowhides, lace, and a whole lot of family time was in the lineup for today’s wedding! Danica and Colton brought a little western wildflower charm to Willow Creek today.

Their wedding had that laid-back, backyard BBQ kind of feeling where everyone can relax, grab some food, play a few games, and just enjoy being together. The wildflowers, lace details, and cowhides brought their western theme to life without making things feel too formal or fussy.

And there was definitely no shortage of ways for everyone to have a little fun! Outdoor games, a Photo Booth, and even a temporary tattoo station gave guests plenty to do throughout the afternoon.

And of course, the alpacas got to join the party too! Danica and Colton rented them for the afternoon, adding one more fun and unexpected piece to an already pretty unforgettable day.

It was a wedding centered around family, fun, and making memories together. That laid-back backyard BBQ feeling is pretty hard to beat!

Danica and Colton, we hope you’re heading into married life with full hearts, happy memories, and maybe a few temporary tattoos to remind you of the day! Congratulations!!!

Not every wedding needs a long list of décor details to make it feel incredibly special. Sometimes, it’s the moments that happen throughout the day that become the things you remember most.

Cameron and Daniel chose to let the beauty of Willow Creek speak for itself, keeping the décor simple and putting the focus where it really mattered - the people and the moments they were sharing.

Cameron had a first look with both her dad and her grandfather, creating two very special memories before the ceremony even began. They also exchanged private vows, giving them a quiet moment together before saying “I do” in front of their guests.

And to make the ceremony even more personal, it was officiated by their uncle. There’s just something special about having someone who knows you and your story be the one standing up there to marry you.

A beautiful setting, meaningful moments, and the people who matter most. Sometimes, that really is all you need.

Cameron and Daniel, we hope you hold onto all of these little moments for many years to come. Congratulations!

A little rain isn’t going to stop today’s ceremony! There’s something pretty special about a wedding that carries on with a little extra atmosphere in the air.

Allison and Ryan wanted a garden picnic vibe for their wedding day, and I think they achieved it. From the simple, relaxed details to the beautiful outdoor setting, everything feels intentional without feeling overdone.

They wanted to keep things simple and let Willow Creek itself be the focal point. And with the trees, flowers, open spaces, and all that natural beauty surrounding them, there really isn’t much more you need.

Sometimes the best wedding décor is simply a beautiful place, the people you love, and a few thoughtful touches to make it your own.

Allison and Ryan, we hope today feels every bit as beautiful, relaxed, and perfectly you as you imagined it. Rain or shine, it’s still your day. Congratulations!!!

There’s something about a September day like this one that makes you want to slow down and enjoy it. Cooler temperatures, sunny skies, and just enough breeze to make being outside absolutely perfect. Fall is definitely making its appearance!

Bergan and Alexa’s wedding day brought in some beautiful purple hues, from the flowers on the tables to the soft gauze runners, with floating candles that will add a little extra glow as the day moves into night.

And because there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the outdoors at Willow Creek, their guests have plenty of games to choose from, along with plenty of snacks to keep everyone fueled for the festivities.

It’s the kind of day that makes outdoor weddings feel especially good - comfortable weather, beautiful surroundings, good food, and plenty of time to simply enjoy being together.

Bergan and Alexa, we hope you soak up every bit of this beautiful September day and all the memories being made along the way. Congratulations!

A heat advisory in September?! Good thing we have a chapel!

While the weather outside was doing its best to make things a little uncomfortable, Kelsey and Stephen had the perfect plan already built into their wedding day: our beautiful, climate-controlled chapel. So instead of worrying about the heat, they could focus on getting married and celebrating with their favorite people.

Their décor took the “less is more” approach, with a few statement pieces doing the heavy lifting. The marquee lights behind the head table made a big impact, while personalized koozies, elaborately decorated cookies, and a Photo Booth added those fun personal touches guests could enjoy throughout the celebration.

Because sometimes the best wedding plan is simple: choose the things that matter most, and let the venue take care of the rest.

Kelsey and Stephen, we hope your day was everything you hoped for, and that you’ll always remember the heat as nothing more than a little background drama to an otherwise wonderful celebration. Congratulations!

Today at Willow Creek feels like a little bit of Bridgerton meets timeless romance.

Emily and Connor brought their vision to life with soft shades of light blue and white woven throughout the décor, creating an elegant, romantic setting that feels both classic and completely their own.

We’ve had some pretty impressive wedding projects from our couples over the years. From growing their own flowers to designing their own invitation graphics, but today’s bride may have just raised the bar. Emily made all of the cupcakes for today’s celebration, and judging by how good they look, we’re going to have a hard time staying away from the dessert table!

And because the best details are the personal ones, their dogs are getting plenty of love today too! Their signature drinks are a tribute to their four-legged family members, and their likenesses even made an appearance on the koozies.

Rather than a traditional first look, Emily and Connor will share a first touch and private vows - a chance to be together, without actually seeing each other, before they walk down the aisle.

Congratulations Emily + Connor!!! We hope it’s a day you’ll look back on and remember not just how beautiful it was, but how perfectly yours it felt.
