Wedding Venue Spotlight - Sand Creek Country Club

February 19, 2020 Steve Vansak

Today’s Northwest Indiana wedding venue spotlight is the absolutely beautiful Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana. This classy venue can be your all in one location for a wedding with its bridal suite, elegant ceremony area, spacious ballroom and scenic outdoor photo opportunities.

I’ve photographed there in many different seasons, from Fall weddings to Winter weddings to glorious sun filled Spring and Summer nuptials. See Jessica and Mitchell’s Fall wedding at Sand Creek right here.

The indoor ceremony area is separate from the reception ballroom so guests can go directly to cocktail hour or lounge on the back deck overlooking the golf course.

Besides the “clock garden” directly behind the building, some of my favorite locations for photos at the venue include the weeping willow tree and the nearby lake. I also love casual group shots on the patio.

The ballroom is surrounded by windows but when night falls it can become quite the dance club. Sometimes it even snows inside!!

Actual, honest to God, Spring weather decided to descend upon us for Cherise and Thomas’ wedding at Sand Creek Country Club. The sun was blazing outside as Cherise got ready in the bridal suite with a surprise visit from Dad who got to see her in her Something Blue Bridal wedding dress just before ceremony time.

With grace and humor. the couple’s best man officiated the nuptials. It was a joyous ceremony capped by a celebration walk from the wedding party.

Abby and Sean recently had a Disney inspired wedding at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana. We started with the girls in the bridal suite before a peek-a-boo photo of the happy couple where Sean passed along a card with a message for Abby to read.

I took photos of the bride and her bridesmaids in the garden area of Sand Creek while second photographer Kerrie was with the guys out front. We had a lot of fun basking in the nature of this wonderfully landscaped country club.

The indoor wedding ceremony was officiated by Reverend Doug and he brought his charming sense of humor to the proceedings as witnessed by all of the smiling faces in the congregation as well as the bride groom.

After family photos on the back deck overlooking the grounds, we took the "golf cart limo" deep onto the golf course for some romantic bride and groom pictures.

Summer Wedding At Sand Creek Country Club

One of the things I love about weddings at Sand Creek Country Club in Chesterton, Indiana is that you have a beautiful location no matter where you are on the property. Indoor wedding ceremonies such as Kelly and John's are just as beautiful as outdoor ceremonies. Let's take a look at this wonderful couple's big day - from their beautiful families coming together to the impeccably decorated ballroom complete with Hot Wheels classic cars as center pieces.

Our morning saw the bridesmaids in the bridal suite doing hair and make up as I captured moments and wedding details. Alaina the flower girl got a chance to try on the bride's shoes.

Many gifts were opened on this warm summer day - from the bride and groom gift exchange to mother of the bride and the friend who introduced the couple.

I took the bridesmaids out for pictures in the Sand Creek garden area while second photographer Kerrie photographed the guys in another area of the golf course. Soon it would be ceremony time...

The ceremony was officiated by Reverend Doug in the wonderful indoor space that overlooks the garden and golf course. Vows and rings were exchanged along with quite a few joyful laughs. The wine ceremony was very elegant with a sense of fun.

Wedding party and family photos were next and then I whisked the couple out to the garden for pictures as cocktail hour began. I joked that it seemed I was always photographing these two in the rain as droplets fell from the sky, just as they did for the couple's engagement session. This did give us some wonderful cloud cover and and dramatic background lighting on the golf course.

When I saw all of the Hot Wheels cars scattered about the ballroom at Sand Creek, all I could think was 'how cool is that'. Add on the enticing candy buffet, sea of red flowers and classic convertible cake topper and we had us some very cool wedding decor to photograph. Spinnin' Productions added the soundtrack as couple partied into the night.
