Coffee Creek Chesterton is beautiful.
There is a lovely pond, long winding walking paths, and a river.
It is popular choice for family photos, engagement photos and a few weddings.
For small weddings Coffee Creek Chesterton is a pretty backdrop on a budget.

The one downside with no real buildings with cover is rain. If it rains and you are outside there is one big covered area, but not much room for a dance floor and guests.
Then again if you are like Desi and Max…… who cares. I often get asked what will happen if it rains on my wedding day. I have always said and can confidently say it’s ok. Enjoy your day and I will make a way to capture it.
The weather was touch and go all morning, but Desi was way too happy to stress and we arrived with umbrellas and the most fun wedding party. Even the guests and kids were puddle jumping by the end of the day. It was so much fun photographing the Coffee Creek wedding.
If you are looking for another great outdoor venue and are worried about rain. Look at Aberdeen Manor just a few miles down the road. They have a wonderful garden area for ceremonies, but also have a cute wedding chapel. On more than one occasion I have photographed weddings there and we ran to the chapel when the rain came haha.
