Honey Creek Venues provides up to 12 8′ banquet tables, up to 12 6′ banquet tables, up to 25 60″ birchwood round tables, up to 200 wood x-back chairs, and up to 200 white folding garden chairs. All tables will require a linen while in use.

Although a wedding planner is a great idea, a planner is not required. However, we do require a day-of point person or coordinator to help your day run as smooth as possible. We offer Month-Of Coordination in-house and have some great vendor recommendations for coordinators as well. You may also choose your own point person to coordinate. We highly suggest that if you select your own day-of planner that it be someone outside your immediate family. 

Honey Creek Venues was designed to accommodate a wide range of event sizes from intimate to fairly large. Our provided chairs and tables will accommodate up to 200 guests. Guest counts above 200 will require additional outside rentals.

We have some ideas we can share, but we’re always open to other options to best accommodate your ideal seating arrangement.

Honey Creek has a large parking area that can easily accommodate even the biggest events. We also provide close in spaces for guests with mobility limitations and service providers helping to set up for the big event.

Since it takes a lot of time/effort to set up an event space, we’ll watch the forecast closely several days before your event. A final decision to use outdoor or covered facilities needs to be made at least 24 to 48 hours prior to the event.

Sorry, no pets are allowed.

All packages include a 10-hour rental, so you can arrive as soon as your rental time begins. Additional setup hours can be purchased if needed. Note: we don’t allow push pins, nails, glitter, confetti, tape on any wall surfaces.

Since Honey Creek Venues books events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, as well as during the week as demand dictates, all vehicles must be removed from the grounds following the event. Vehicles left on the grounds following an event will result in the loss of the damage deposit.

Honey Creek Venues host events frequently and often on back to back days, therefore we do not allow personal items or rental equipment to remain on the grounds prior to or following an event.
