Set up for a celebration at The Meadows with loved ones.
Aw! The first wedding of the year just took place at Opossum Creek!
The seasons fade in and out, and lovers keep joining us to bind their lives together at Opossum Creek Retreat.
What’s the allure of OCR (other than the picturesque perfection)?
Exchanging vows here is something special. Each ceremony reflects the unique bond of the couple professing their “I do’s.” And we make creating your elaborate moment simple. We LOVE helping people get hitched!
Step 1 is choosing a venue. You need: a breathtaking ceremony location, a place to party down for the reception, and comfortable lodging for guests. Lucky for us, we have all three at Opossum Creek Retreat.
Most of our weddings prefer our DIY (do it yourself) package, which includes: up to three nights in the Meadows cabin (depending on the season), outdoor tables and chairs, a 20×40 tent, outdoor restroom facilities, and some fresh flowers to spruce up outside and around the cabin.
But we’ve got more options, and we’re more than happy to help you tie your knot, your bow, your tie, whatever makes your vows your moment to enjoy.
We are happy to do everything except fitting the dresses.
(And, hey, we’ll help find you someone for that, too. We know people.)
This event starts tomorrow and you can still get in, so DO IT. We do a fair number of these specialty events each year.
Yoga Weekend
You may not believe this but I practice yoga, and way back when I climbed too. These two activities belong together, and Elaina Erinz Smith and Erin Larson blend them wonderfully.
This is the second year for this ossum, intimate, expertly organized weekend. See you on the mat but not on the rock.
I am not a runner, but this looks like fun and Mark Lattanzi is a pro at organizing and running an event.
Like to run? Then Run Around the Gorge!
Even the guy who pulled a muscle and was laid up on the couch was smiling and having fun at last year’s event. He did not get to run but came anyway because he loves the camaraderie, the area, and the food.
So he got to relax at Opossum Creek Retreat all weekend cheering his friends new and old to the finish.
Meetings
If you have to be in a meeting, you should do it here.
Why? Because even though you need to get some work done, you can do it in one of the prettiest conference rooms around. It’s almost like you’re working outside; huge windows let nature right in.
Weddings
It’s a no-brainer that Opossum Creek is a place where lots of couples want to host their weddings.
Beautiful outdoor space? Check.
Plenty of nature and pretty views? Check.
Room for lots of guests to stay? Check.
Great indoor space too? Check.
An unique venue unlike any other? Check.
Who could ask for more?
Family Reunions
We’ve already given you plenty of reasons why Opossum Creek is THE place to host a family reunion. Simply put, we’re the perfect spot for reconnecting, rejuvenating, and remembering what’s important.
Some Other Fun Events
In 2013 there’s the Todd Norian yoga retreat weekend. My yoga teacher BabaRANBOYD has been studying with this guy for almost a decade. I am excited to be able to attend one of his weekend sessions on my home turf.
And of course the big one: The New River Birding and Nature Festival. This has grown into an amazing week with hundreds of people enjoying our hospitality and the Spring migration of birds.
We may not be all that special. But when we host events like these our guests tell us we are.
Okay, all are guests are special. I was just trying to say we do special events really well. Now, I am not bragging, Just repeating what I have been told. Why else would they keep coming back?
Want to feel special too? Just come to Opossum Creek Retreat.
Clicking on the BOOK NOW tab provides cabin availability. It DOES NOT mean you’ve booked a cabin. After you confirm availability, there are several additional steps required regarding potential dates, minimum stay times, group size, and of course payment information.
If you prefer the peace of mind of speaking with someone to book your stay, Anna is amazing!
