Willow Creek

We are one of a kind wedding and reception venue located near the Omaha metro. Our facility is surrounded by native wild flowers, grasses and trees.
(426)

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!

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.

The butterflies are putting on quite a show again today! I’ve stopped outside several times just to watch them flutter from flower to flower. It never gets old!

After a very rainy couple of days, we finally caught a little break in the weather just in time for Sara and Ty’s wedding day. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the rain holds off through the ceremony, but if it decides to make another appearance, everyone will be safely tucked inside our chapel.

Inside, the look is classic and timeless - black tablecloths, soft hints of pink in the floral arrangements, and lots of candles casting that warm, romantic glow across the tables.

But one of the sweetest details today has nothing to do with the décor. Sara’s brother will be playing guitar as she walks down the aisle. There’s just something extra special about having someone you love help create the soundtrack to such an important moment.

Sara and Ty, we hope your day is filled with beautiful moments, meaningful memories, and maybe a few butterflies along the way. Congratulations!

One thing I tell couples on tours is that late July through September is butterfly season here at Willow Creek. I sometimes wonder if people think I’m just trying to sell them on the venue…but today, the butterflies decided to prove my point.

They were everywhere this afternoon, floating from flower to flower as if they knew it was wedding day. I’d say they picked the perfect day to make an appearance.

Lillian and Caleb’s celebration is filled with soft, timeless details - light blue runners, delicate baby’s breath, and a beautiful floral backdrop behind the head table that ties everything together so effortlessly.

Guests will have plenty to enjoy between the ceremony and reception too, with lawn games, snacks, and, of course, a few butterflies making surprise appearances along the way.

Lillian and Caleb, we hope your day is every bit as joyful and beautiful as the little moments unfolding around you. Congratulations on the beginning of your next adventure together!

Today’s wedding comes with one of our favorite introductions of the year…Brooke and Brook! (Close enough that we’re still expecting some confusion over whose last name is changing!)

Their vision for the day was simple: gather their closest friends and family for one big celebration. And really, that’s what weddings are all about.

Brooke and Brook chose to exchange private vows, taking a quiet moment together before the whirlwind of the day. We absolutely love when couples make space for those intimate moments.

Their reception keeps the focus on the people they love, with delicate bud vases filled with a variety of blooms adding a soft, romantic touch to each table. Sometimes, simple really is beautiful.

Brooke and Brook, we hope today is everything you imagined, a celebration filled with laughter, happy tears, and memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Congratulations to you both!!!

We squeezed in a much-needed vacation, but we’re back at Willow Creek and kicking off another beautiful wedding!

Harley and Jacob envisioned a wedding that felt fun, loving, and timeless, and their garden party inspiration couldn’t be more perfect. Bright florals welcome guests from the very first moment, filling the ceremony arch, centerpieces, and welcome sign with cheerful pops of color.

One of our favorite details? Their signature drinks, created as a tribute to their cats. We always love seeing couples find creative ways to include the things (and pets!) they love most.

Guests can also grab a game from the table full of board games (including a few favorites from our own family…excellent choices if you ask us 😉) or head outside for more games, making this a celebration that’s just as much about spending time together as it is about the beautiful details.

Congratulations Harley + Jacob!!! We hope every minute is as beautiful as the love you’re celebrating today.

Sometimes the excitement is contagious, and today, it definitely is.

Cole has been looking forward to having our alpacas at the wedding for months, and seeing his excitement has made us even more excited for today. The alpacas are officially back in action, and we have a feeling they’re going to be a hit with guests once again.

Ieva and Cole’s celebration feels like summer in all the best ways. Bright yellow florals, lemons scattered across the tables, and sunny pops of yellow throughout the décor create such a fresh, cheerful atmosphere.

And today comes with another fun milestone. We’re welcoming family all the way from Latvia! In fact, Ieva’s family officially holds the record for our farthest-traveled guests of the year. And this was her dad’s very first flight, making today’s celebration even more special.

Ieva and Cole, thank you for bringing so much joy, color, and excitement to Willow Creek. We can’t wait to watch your day unfold. Congratulations!

Sixteen years ago today, we stood in the chapel and promised forever.

Back then, we had no idea what those vows would lead us to. We couldn’t have imagined the late nights, the long days, the countless projects, five kids, thousands of decisions, and the incredible couples we’d have the privilege of celebrating alongside.

This chapel isn’t just where we got married, it’s where our dream began.

Every wedding we host reminds us a little of our own. The excitement, the nervous smiles, the hope for the future. It all takes us back to the day we said “I do.”

Sixteen years later, we’re still building this place together. Not because it’s always easy, but because we believe in what it represents: love, commitment, family, and creating a place where other couples can begin their own stories.

To every couple who has trusted us with one of the biggest days of their lives, thank you for letting our story become a small part of yours.

And to Shane… I’d still choose you. Every single time.

Happy Anniversary to us. Here’s to the next chapter.

It’s wedding day at Willow Creek, and this one has been a full weekend celebration.

Cameron and Joe kicked things off with their rehearsal and dinner here last night, and today it all comes together in the most beautiful way. The vision? Elegant, formal country, and it’s been brought to life so effortlessly.

Soft blue tones set the stage with delicate runners, paired with the prettiest chargers and goblets. Floating candles and lush florals create a warm, romantic glow that feels both timeless and refined.

Cameron and Joe, your day is the perfect blend of elegance and charm, and it’s been such a joy having you here all weekend. Congratulations!!!

A little rain to start the day, but Violet and Mitchell are headed straight into the sunshine kind of celebration.

Today is full of personality in the best way. Lulu, the family dog (chosen by the bride when she was just 11 ), is stepping into the very important role of ring bearer, which might just steal the show. If that wasn’t enough, she’s also making an appearance on the cutest personalized purple napkins.

And when your name is Violet, embracing purple just feels right. From the bridesmaids’ dresses to a draped photo backdrop (and those adorable napkins), every detail ties it all together beautifully alongside bright, vibrant florals.

Live music will carry the day from start to finish, with a violinist setting the tone for the ceremony, and a country band ready to keep the dance floor going tonight.

Congratulations Violet + Mitchell!!!
