My husband and I decided on Carson Creek after visiting the forest hollow. My husband was hooked, and I really liked the setting as well. We toured in Spring 2020, while being told about plans to build the barn on site for receptions (there was just an area cleared out for a foundation when we toured. We thought for sure that the barn would be done enough in time for our July 2021 wedding--and we were right, but just by the skin of our teeth! And we really have to thank Cecelia and Seth for that.

During the pandemic, as most know there were shortages and shipping delays across the board. However, the Carsons put together a great gathering space, and our guests had a blast.

The venue by itself is gorgeous. The forest areas scream "PNW," and there's some gorgeous foliage surrounding the pathway to the ceremony hollow. The Carsons also used a gold cart to transport grandparents and guests who have difficulty getting around, which was very helpful! They also pre-setup the chairs in the hollow and in the reception space for us, which was incredibly helpful!

While the barn is still undergoing some final touches, the details that are present are gorgeous. The bridal suite is very comfortable and has a live edge wood table for the bridal party to do their makeup in. The floors in the reception area are cement, so you don't have to worry about renting out a dance floor! They also have a fully operational kitchen that our caterer used. Seth Carson can also officiate marriages, and at the time of writing this, he comes with the venue, if you like! Plus, they have gorgeous live-edge wood tables we used for an additional feel.

We would definitely recommend Carson Creek! That and Cecelia and Seth always did their best to make our wedding happen, in spite of shortages and delays in building materials due to a global pandemic!

The space is a dream, the hollow is a place that is absolutely magical. This location was one of many that we visited and looked at waiting for the place to call out. When walking the property and talking with the Carson's we fell in love. The woods surrounding the property, the barn that has an incredible bridal suite and grooms space was exactly what we were looking for.

Preface: our wedding reception was the first large event to take place at Carson Creek Estate.
When we first visited the venue it was in it's untouched, raw form. We immediately fell in love with the location and it's surroundings. After speaking with the Carsons and hearing their proposed plans for the property, we decided that it had nearly everything we were looking for. They were able to include gorgeous farm tables, chairs, place settings, décor options plus several covered areas which added great incentive to us since many other places we looked at did not include these things (or were only available at an additional charge).
Even though the venue was unfinished, we were confident that the Carsons would make our event's success a priority and they did not disappoint. But being the venue's first event did mean that there were a few hiccups. While we saw regular progress with the landscape's transformation, we were anxious when just a few weeks prior to our event all we could really see was dirt (the excessively hot summer had stifled grass growth). When any concerns were voiced to the Carsons they were receptive and offered several options for us to chose from as solutions. So while we may not have received everything that we were promised - what we did get was a fun and functional venue with owners who did everything possible to make it the amazing event that we were expecting.
Overall, we would absolutely recommend Carson Creek Estate for your special day.
