Welcome to...

Situated along the Kilbuck Creek in 200 acres of woods lies a
beautiful log cabin home filled with priceless memories of the
friends & family that have gathered here.
Once our family home, this unique retreat is now a space
to share with your family.
Hosting different groups is such a joy to our staff.
Seeing people come together & enjoy their time on our property is magical. We
know there are lots of options, and we are honored to have you create your
memories with us!
When you book at Kilbuck Creek, you become one of the family,
and we truly feel that is what sets us apart.

Bring in Nature
#1
Branches, greens, moss,
even acorns. Any
natural element you
include in your decor
is going to add a
touch of charm that
is hard not to love.
We'll see a decrease in
large flower
arrangements, and a
big increase in mixed
greens for your 2019
weddings!
M A R I N A N A P O L I T A N I

My Favorite:
ways to incorporate nature:
green garlands, birch branches,
acorns, pine cones
wood slices, moss, antlers
Adding moss to any
woodsy centerpiece
takes it to a new level!
Add small tealights
to create a subtle
romantic vibe.

even when the dress is low cut.
The Bride

Bridesmaid
Ensemble
Mixing fabrics, colors, even styles!
Not a new concept, but this trend
will continue into 2019!
The key is to work with a
complimentary color pallette.
The Girls
Royal Blue Tux
Royal blue tuxes are becoming a very popular color
right now - and for good reason! Its bold but not
enough to regret when looking back at your pictures
five years from now. Its very versatile and can play
well with greys, navy, black, even burdundy.
You're going to look like a million bucks in this color!
The Groom

Dusty Blue
What a versatile color! pairing well with the blushes and dusty blues of spring, and
turning up the drama with shades of purple for a romantic setting.
Not only is this color complimentary on all skin tones (hello bridesmaids!),
it looks dashing on the men too!
Marsala
As for flowers, add Marsala to your centerpiece for instant drama and romance!
