    “The Stratton Creek Inn is what wedding dreams are made of! Every single detail of our wedding was flawless thanks to the beauty of this venue! The owner & staff were incredible every step of the way. They were accommodating and flexible, ensuring all our wants & needs were met. Our wedding perfectly fit us and our guests. But this venue goes way beyond your big day! The Inn & property are stunning. They worked with us to customize our wedding package to accommodate our overnight guests & make the entire weekend feel like a dream. We spent the late evenings lounging around the fire, enjoying our time with our closest friends and family and woke up each morning to the most delicious breakfast! If you are looking for a venue that your partner and closest friends/family can spend the entire wedding weekend together, you’ve found the perfect spot!”-Ashley

  • A Perfect Weekend

    “We got married in June 2025 at Stratton Creek. Kortney and her family were so organized leading up to the day of and so responsive. They truly went above and beyond.

    We hosted both our wedding and welcome party at Stratton creek and both events were amazing. Our guests all raved about the venue and how beautiful it was. We didn’t worry about a thing all weekend, knowing that Kortney had it all handled.

    We truly loved how much freedom we had in setting up our layout and what we wanted the day to look like. Kortney was there to make our vision come to life and it did. It was a beautiful venue and a beautiful backdrop for our wedding.

    We also stayed over the night before with our parents and siblings and the team at Stratton Creek provided such a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere. The Inn is beautiful and we also used it for some of our photos which have been some of our favorites so far.

    We truly could not recommend Stratton Creek more and were so happy with how everything turned out!” -Emma

  • Perfect Venue & Wonderful People!

    “Kortney was stellar. Weddings are stressful but her and her team did everything to make us happy and satisfied. Their knowledge and experience with the process was so helpful leading up to the day. We worked through the layout together, we received a couple tours of the premises, we were patiently walked through all the packages they offered, and at every step we felt heard and catered to. The wedding was amazing, the venue was gorgeous. We were lucky to get the one sunny day in a very rainy early summer. We're very happy with Stratton Creek Inn and would recommend!” -Makayla

  • A Venue Unlike Any Other

    “We booked Stratton Creek Inn 18 months ago and finally had our wedding this past weekend. Kortney is a phenomenal coordinator, ALWAYS sticking up for the couple when other vendors are being difficult and provides wonderful direction when needed. We purchased the wedding weekend experience, staying at the Inn Thursday through Sunday morning and the experience was amazing. Terri was a wonderful Inn Keeper, the Inn is immaculate and the breakfasts are delicious. Kortney and her family make you feel like of their own. I cannot recommend SCl enough!”-Madlyn

  • Friendly beautiful place to have a wedding

    “Stratton Creek staff (Kortney in particular) went above and beyond to make sure we had a beautiful wedding. I am very grateful that SC staff listened closely to what we wanted; from helping to arrange last minute tents (rain in the forecast) to dealing with our problematic caterer, the whole SC staff was professional, courteous, and extremely hard working. We had a beautiful day!” -Annmarie
