About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Cross Creek Ranch is a barn wedding venue located in the heart of Dover, Florida. What started out as a Sunshine State ranch became a spellbinding location for nuptial events when Bonnie and her husband, Sean, purchased the property in 2000. Nestled amongst acres upon acres of age-old oaks and soaring Birches, this dynamic duo has successfully transformed their property into a spectacular setting for storybook happily ever afters.

Facilities and Capacity

Cross Creek Ranch is a grand event venue with a capacity of 150 guests and a host of areas for celebrations of all kinds. Forever can start with a ceremony at The Carriage House, a classic wooden barn with dainty French windows, high ceilings draped in twinkling lights, and plenty of floor space for a large gathering. For "I dos" under the Southern sky, couples can take to the Enchanted Forest, where a deep wood walkway and benches await the nearlyweds and their loved ones. Cross Creek Ranch also showcases various event spaces for a reception filled with festive frivolity. The White Oak Barn is a spacious, 12-foot-high, air-conditioned outhouse dressed to the nines in luxe and lavish décor. The French Country Inn is another fabulous location for intimate gatherings and features a glorious outdoor patio for dining and dancing beneath the stars.

Simply Amazing

They truly brought our vision to life!! I had zero stress on the day of the wedding which says a lot because I stress about everything! All of the staff, including Holly and Val were simply amazing and did absolutely everything they could to make me feel special, hydrated and stress free. I had bridesmaids tell me they have NEVER seen this level of service at a wedding venue. I’m so sad it’s over but it was such a beautiful day and I’m grateful to everyone who had a part in it. Thank you CCR.

Best day ever

CCR is honestly amazing and you should definitely have your wedding here. I had zero stress on my wedding and knowing that we had Holly and her team putting everything together was a literal godsend and I don't know how people get married without planners. The fact that it's all inclusive is a mega plus. The grounds are amazing. I got to live my fairy princess dream wedding. Nothing bad happened. Lisa who did our design meeting got everything perfect. You literally pick everything you want in a 4-5 hour design session and they take care of everything. I loved that all the florals (sans the bouquets and boutonnieres) were silk. No waste and sustainable. On the day of the rehearsal, I saw something another wedding had and I wanted it and Holly made it happen. There was a little issue with my brother's boutonniere and Holly fixed it in 2 minutes. Bria, our house mom, took care of us in the morning. Haley helped me gather my things; it felt like I was a celebrity. There were so many people there to make sure everything was perfect. Anita helped the boys and they all talked to each other on head sets to communicate and make sure that everyone was aligned. The timing was incredible. They talked and handled any and all things regarding vendors. They got us in touch with the preferred caterer so we could do our tasting. They linked us up with Alta for florals. They made sure the DJ reached out to us. They do all the setup and decorating and teardown. They kept everything on time. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS. The entire team that supported me and my husband that day made it perfect. I had the best time. I want to get married exactly in the same way 100 times. Everyone said that we had an amazing wedding and it wouldn't have been as great if we didn't go with CCR. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! We love you Holly!

My perfect day

Cross creek ranch goes above and beyond to make your wedding day literally perfect. My wedding day was the best day of my life.. my guests and I were all blown away at the attention to detail and how perfectly everything was organized. Our day of planner, Megan, was so considerate of everyone’s needs. All the vendors were amazing too, especially Vesh catering and Rad red photography. I just wish I could do it all over again!!! A day to remember FOREVER! Choose this for your big day and you won’t regret it.

The team at Cross Creek Ranch is so amazing- every time I book a wedding there I always look forward to working with them! They bend over backwards to make sure the wedding day goes smoothly, and the bridal party is happy. Plus, it's such a gorgeous place! Definitely a photographer's dream to photograph there.

Celebrations of Tampa Bay Celebrations of Tampa Bay Wedding Videographers

Although there are many Farm Venues in Tampa Bay Area, none really match the cleanliness, manicured landscaping, and detail of Cross Creek Ranch. Having shot several wedidngs there, I can tell you it is excellent if you want great wedding photography & video, such a variety of natural backgrounds. The hand-on care they give the brides is 5-star! You will have a excellent Country atmosphere, yet without the dust and dirt of many country/farm wedding venues.
