★★★★★ — Ann, Oct 2021

We LOVE Chankaska for so many reasons!! 1. We got married there back in October and Cynthia Strauser (The Events Manager) was absolutely wonderful to work with. We didn't live in the area, but she made planning our reception so easy!

★★★★★ — Amanda, Dec 2021

Enjoyed a cousins wedding here. It is a really beautiful & intiment venue down by the creek and the reception hall is absolutely gorgeous! Perfectly set up for a wedding or another event where you'd want a main space and then more of a bar space.

★★★★★ — Philip, Sep 2024

My wife and I came here for an afternoon getaway to celebrate her birthday. Wonderful place. Wedding space and grounds are beautiful and wine was great!

Getting married at Chankaska Creek Ranch, Winery, & Distillery

Chankaska Creek Ranch, Winery, & Distillery comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Chankaska Creek Ranch, Winery, & Distillery

If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
