    The Otter Creek experience is phenomenal!

    Otter Creek Farmstead and Distillery is a gorgeous venue. I fell in love with it at first glance as did my husband, daughter, and son-in-love! The facilities are spectacular and maintained with excellence. The guest entrance to the ceremony site sets a stunning stage with the architectural beauty of the buildings and patios and the picturesque landscape. The Grand Room with the adjacent patio is just absolute perfection! All the furnishings are equally lovely and it all comes together with such a warm vibe. The adjacent courtyard and pavilion are also well done and provide so many options for space. We had approximately 280 guests and it never felt crowded.

    Otter Creek is truly amazing. Even more amazing are the owners, Jane and Frank Brown. They instantly welcomed us, made us feel at home, and patiently answered all our questions. The Browns and their staff strive for perfection and they worked to make my daughter’s wedding dreams a reality. They worked seamlessly with all our vendors and our weekend was calm and stress free. You will not find better hosts than Jane and Frank Brown. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel special.

    The wedding party stayed in the Hill Cottage and Stable Residence. These overnight lodging areas are beautifully appointed and were spotless. Breakfast was served at each residence in beautiful baskets and was just so delicious. It was awesome to have everyone together in one place and all enjoyed the fire pit and game room after the rehearsal dinner.

    Weddings at Otter Creek are spectacular! Our family and our guests have such fantastic wedding memories. I am so happy our family chose an Otter Creek wedding!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Otter Creek is the absolutely dream venue! Frank and Jane go above and beyond to make all of their couples feel special, loved, and seen. One of my favorite parts was that the entire wedding party was able to stay together at the farm. The groomsmen and my husband stayed at the stables and the girls stayed at the Hill Cottage. Being able to have everyone in the same place for the rehearsal dinner, night before the wedding, and day of was an absolute blast and made our wedding day so relaxed and fun! Jane put so much attention to detail in every part of both places. It truly felt like a home away from home the entire weekend! Plus, we were delivered a delicious breakfast with coffee the morning of the big day!

    The farm itself is undoubtably gorgeous. Our wedding was in May and there was so much greenery and the flowers were blooming! It was so beautiful! Apart from the landscaping, the facilitates are very well maintained. The smallest details were clearly given so much thought. We have had so many of our guests compliment how beautiful it was!

    It rained during the reception, but the layout of the farm kept us from missing a beat. It was the most epic party of our lives! You absolutely want your wedding at Otter Creek!

    Best venue, Best people

    Such a beautiful venue with special people to help you prepare for your wedding! The venue and amenities are obviously spectacular, but it’s the owners (Jane and Frank) and wedding planner (Rebecca) that make this venue such a gem. They get to know their brides/grooms and their families and want to make your day special, no matter what circumstances might arise. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place for my husband and me to say “I do” and celebrate with family and friends. Choose Otter Creek; you won’t be disappointed!

    Breathtaking grounds, the most fabulous structures, people, and attention to detail at this venue. It is truly second to none. Working with Jane and Frank is wonderful. They truly care so much about each event down to the smallest details. You will see excellence in all they do!

    Best venue ever!

    Otter Creek is so wonderful that words truly can not explain!! Frank and Jane will literally go out of their way to make sure you have a perfect day! They are ALWAYS there and willing to help in anyway that they can. The week of my wedding was very stressful, but Jane was there to help in every way and went above and beyond to make sure there would be nothing to worry about or be stressed about. I think my favorite memory was right before I walked down the aisle... I turned around to smile at Frank and Jane and as I turned around I saw a tear roll down Janes face. I am so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to spend the best day of my life with Frank and Jane at their BEAUTIFUL venue!!

    Elegance and Beauty!

    There are not enough good things to say about Jane and Frank and the beautiful space they’ve created at Otter Creek Farm! From the moment Adam and I met with them, we knew it was the perfect place for us to celebrate with our family and friends. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail of their property was immaculate. From the moment they greeted us upon arrival, to cleaning up after the reception, every transition was seamless. And Jane- her touch of elegance and class was evident throughout the property- we hardly had to decorate!

    Our guests have not stopped singing praises about the beauty of Otter Creek, and neither have we! Jane and Frank were the most gracious and welcoming hosts. Adam and I are so thankful we chose to celebrate here with those we love the most- we would do it again in a heartbeat.

    What an amazing place! And what amazing people! Jane & Frank Brown are absolutely the sweetest people who made our dream come true at Otter Creek Farm! The couple may be pretty new to the wedding scene, but boy do they know what they’re doing! They were always there for any questions I had and made everything I wanted happen. They made the whole process so easy and stress free for me and are a couple whom Hunter and I admire and wish we could just go hang out with all the time! So many things they did for me come to mind, but one sticks out the most — When we all went into the grand room for the reception it started pouring rain...we realized my guest book was still out there and sweet Jane ran outside and got it and used a blow dryer to dry it and placed a paper towel in between each page to try and salvage it, such a precious thing she did and I will be forever grateful!! They treated us like family and we couldn’t have asked for more. Otter Creek Farm was the PERFECT place for us and I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    Otter Creek Farm is truly a "Majestic Oasis." Frank and Jane Brown are a charming couple and provide distinguished services with perfection. We felt honored as my daughter's wedding was the first wedding at Otter Creek. When we went to tour the property we were in absolute awe of the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, ponds, and rolling-meadows. We were promptly welcomed, by their precious rescue dog, “Le Roy Brown”, who serves as the unofficial concierge of the property. The lodge, game room, locker room with kennels, barn, and bunkhouse were meticulously designed and decorated by the Brown’s. We knew immediately that we had found the perfect location for Stephanie and Jeremy’s wedding.The Brown's had an unbelievable schedule and were booked at a 100% capacity during hunting season. Despite being booked, they were never too busy to promptly respond to questions I had as we were planning the wedding. The venue was in spectacular form the weekend of the wedding. Stephanie and her bridesmaids stayed in the bunk house Friday night. Saturday morning, they were served a delicious brunch prepared by Jane and hosted by friends.
    We chose to have our Rehearsal Dinner in the Grand Room which is equipped with a state of the art commercial kitchen and sound system. Words cannot describe the beauty and details of the Grand Room. The chandeliers and lighting, custom built tables, beautifully decorated veranda overlooking the infinity pool, with its waterfalls, all are breathtaking. The Grand Room has a Bride’s Suite that is exquisitely decorated and allowed privacy for Stephanie and her bridesmaids to savor the anticipation of the wedding in an intimate setting. It also allowed me to spend some precious time with my daughter before her walk down the aisle. Thank you for making Stephanie and Jeremy's day so perfect, your attention to detail, stunning venue and ability to turn their dreams into reality have left us all with magical memories.

    I expected MUCH better

    The venue is beautiful, but day of my wedding I was consistently disappointed. Their wedding planner spelled my name wrong everywhere and used the wrong name for my husband several times. That is a small thing, but it speaks volumes to their eye for detail and professionalism. They work with people so they should be able to handle that detail correctly. I paid a significant amount of money to rent out their "bridal cottage" for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in. I expected for the price I paid to be given the entire cottage because that is what I paid for, but upon arrival I was only given access to one bedroom and bathroom to get 8 girls ready in. Our groomsmen were also denied access to the locker room that they were supposed to get ready in and they had to get ready in a small room off of the grand room. The owners have stepped back and hired a coordinator to handle weddings since I signed my contract, but I felt as though I was not welcome because I had signed a contract two years ago and things had changed on their updated contract. I loved the place upon first impression and meeting the owners, but within two years it was unrecognizable. I still had a beautiful wedding, but I feel like I was not treated fairly. I loved Otter Creek and I am so sad to write this, but I want others to have all the information
