“The most important things to begin with is that Cypress Creek Farmhouse will provide you everything that you are look for as far as phenomenal location, and that the owners Tay and Craig and their staff are Amazing, Kind, Authentic, professionals, who have a true passion for the amazing job they do. All of these qualities are matched by their true interest in making sure that you have the event and location and day of your dreams. Cypress Creek Farmhouse was our first pick out of many locations from the very beginning simply based on the pictures on the website due to the gorgeous natural beauty of the location and the classy features of the buildings, which in every way meets and exceed the needs for each aspect of our wedding. The location provides options for how and where you would want your events to take place. After a conversation with Tay who from the very start showed true enthusiasm, kindness and in-depth knowledge of every aspect of wedding planning, we met to view Cypress Creek Farmhouse . This is when we were able to see and feel that this was the location for our special day as soon as we saw the stunningly beautiful premises. During the whirlwind 3 month process, Tay and her staff took time on a frequent basis to provide us with recommendations, reminders, and made accommodations to make the wedding planning and wedding day a seamless and perfect one. Tay, Craig and Joyce and their team were able to provide multiple suggestions for wedding planning details that we may not have thought of and that met our budget. They all provided constant encouragement and a calm understanding of what our vision was. My wife Tessa and I can honestly say that the owners and location Cypress Creek Farmhouse exceeded all of our wedding dreams. We recommend you make your memories as beautiful and sweet as ours have your events at Cypress Creek Farmhouse. Thank you Tay, Craig and Joyce and the rest of the amazing staff at this Gorgeous location.”
