Bryce + Madeleine's Ocoee Crest Wedding

We swoon anytime a photographer shares their photographs from a wedding day at Ocoee Crest with us! Megan Faith Photo recently sent us a beautiful gallery of Mr. and Mrs. Marratta’s wedding from this past fall. This was a special wedding as our owners know the bride’s family from the local community. We were thrilled they chose Ocoee Crest as the place to celebrate their marriage with their family and friends!

Check out these wonderful images from their special day!

Is there anything quite like a proud father on his little girl’s wedding day? We love when the family of the bride and groom enjoy being at Ocoee Crest! Thanks to Ron for taking the time to write a review on WeddingWire!

“We held my daughters wedding at Ocoee Crest this past weekend. This place is more beautiful than you can imagine. The staff was amazing, and truly went way beyond what was expected, just to make sure her day was nothing short of amazing. I could not be happier that we chose Ocoee Crest to celebrate this very important and special day. If you are looking for the perfect place for a wedding, look no farther. Thanks for everything” - Ron (Father of the Bride)

Fancy Florals: Choosing for your season: Selecting the flowers for your special day can be overwhelming. You find a picture of a bouquet you like on Pinterest, only to find out they are out of season making them hard to get and more expensive. Shopping flowers that are in season can help to ensure they are fresh and beautiful. Consider checking the lists from The Spuce via the link below as a place to start when choosing what florals you might want to include for your wedding day!

Alicia's Review

We love when our brides are happy! Alicia and Seth got married at Ocoee Crest in April and this is what she said about her special day!

“Seth and I just had our wedding there! We were the first couple to be married at the venue, and it was absolutely stunning. If you want to be reminded of Tennessee beauty during your wedding day, Ocoee Crest is perfect! The river and mountains make the perfect view. The inside is just as amazing as the outside. The staff and owners are so friendly and easy to work with. Everyone went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and it was perfect! I couldn’t recommend this venue more!!!”

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us, Alicia! you two will always have a special place in our hearts!
