Up the Creek Farms is a working-style farm venue in Malabar, on the Space Coast south of Melbourne, and its three published tiers are a small education in what wedding money buys. The elopement — the couple plus up to 2 guests — starts at $500. The Intimate Ceremony, up to 25 guests, starts at $3,500. The Micro-Wedding, for 25–30 guests, starts at $12,000.

| Elopement — couple + up to 2 guests | from $500 |
| Intimate Ceremony — up to 25 guests | from $3,500 |
| Micro-Wedding — 25–30 guests | from $12,000 |
That last jump deserves a paragraph
That last jump deserves a paragraph, because couples trip on it everywhere, not just here. Between $3,500 and $12,000 at nearly the same guest count, you're not buying more wedding — you're buying the reception: the hours, the food service, the staff, the full production. The venue is being straight with you by pricing the ceremony and the party as different products. The couples who get stung are the ones who budget for the ceremony number and plan the party anyway.

If your plan is genuinely a ceremony and a dinner reservation afterwards, the $500 and $3,500 tiers make this one of the best-value farm settings in Florida. If you want the farm to host the whole day, go in with the $12,000 as the honest starting point and ask what it includes — at that level, the inclusions list is the whole conversation.
