⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Experience at Boulder Ridge!

From the moment we arrived for our first meeting with Sara this past Thursday, we knew Boulder Ridge was special. Waiting for us at the entrance was a beautiful welcome sign congratulating us on our engagement. This was such a thoughtful and heartwarming touch that immediately set the tone for our visit.

We were completely taken by the stunning outdoor spaces. The grounds are picture-perfect and had us sold before we ever saw the banquet space.

Sara was everything you could hope for in a Private Event Director -- warm, welcoming, patient, and genuinely invested in our vision. She answered every question with care, offered creative ideas, and explained all the options available. We never felt rushed despite her other appointments. She made us feel like our wedding was her top priority.

After viewing the banquet rooms, we were captivated by the endless possibilities. We’re praying for beautiful weather so we can hold our ceremony outdoors, but it is such a comfort knowing there’s an equally gorgeous indoor option ready if needed.

We loved our experience so much that we returned two days later and said "Yes" to Boulder Ridge. Sara's attention to many details and genuine excitement for our wedding made our decision an easy one.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking scenery, true flexibility, and a Director who truly cares, Boulder Ridge is your place for your special day.

Magnificent!

We recently celebrated a family wedding and reception at Boulder Ridge Country Club, and it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations. The venue itself is absolutely stunning -- both inside and out. We held our reception in the Terrace Room, with two bars, easy access to the restroom and access to a beautiful private outdoor terrace. It provided the perfect mix of elegance and charm for our celebration.

The food was incredible (apps and dinner), and the drinks were expertly poured -- guests are still raving about it! Sadly, they ran out of some of the apps almost immediately but for the ones we tried, they were delicious. The live floral arrangement and candle centerpieces created by Bree Burke were breathtaking and added a magical touch to the entire evening.

A very special shout-out to Bree Burke, who was instrumental in helping plan and coordinate everything. Her attention to detail and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you're considering Boulder Ridge, Bree is the person you want by your side! She was on point throughout the wedding and reception ensuring every little detail was completed.

While we absolutely loved our day, we do want to note that the dance floor in the Terrace Room was a bit small, and sadly, the lighting around the sweet table and after-hours snacks and ice cream bar was quite dim -- just something to keep in mind when planning your layout. Some of the the guests missed out because they didn't know these were available.

Overall, Boulder Ridge Country Club is a phenomenal wedding venue. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful setting, outstanding food and service, and a team that truly cares about your special day.

Beautiful Venue!

We recently attended a family wedding at Boulder Ridge. The day was perfect for an outdoor wedding with breathtaking scenery. The ballroom and attached patio were spacious and elegant. The steak and chicken plate was not only delicious, but a very hearty portion! I highly recommend this venue for any event!

A Hidden Gem!

We got married at Boulder Ridge Country Club in July 2023. It was a dream and our day went perfectly according to plan. Gianna and Sara guided us through the whole wedding planning process and were so responsive to our needs! They did an awesome job coordinating with our vendors and rounding up our crazy bridal party. I felt so comfortable the day of our wedding thanks to their help in planning and their keen eye for detail. Not to mention, there were various things that were thrown in at no cost to us that many other venues in my search would nickel and dime us for.

The grounds, food, and service were also great at Boulder Ridge and really contributed to the making of our perfect day! The beautiful ivy and scenic greens in the backdrop made our wedding photos pop with color. The outdoor patio was also a hit and the perfect place for guests to grab some fresh air and relax! I also got ready in the bridal 'ready' room where we were served lunch and mimosas. From start to finish, all of our needs were met and exceeded all our expectations! We highly recommend getting married here if you want a seamless wedding! The only complaint I have is the day went way too fast!

Using this venue was the most easy experience. They took care of mostly everything. You just had to pick out what you liked and they took it from there!

Best day ever!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Boulder Ridge! From the first day we toured it, we knew we had to have them host our big day. To begin, it is a gorgeous venue! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather so we had our ceremony outside. The cocktail hour and reception were in the ballroom, but there is a great patio/balcony space outside that our guests were able to enjoy as well. It was nice for guests to be able to step out for some fresh air without feeling like they were missing anything. We primarily worked with Gianna for the planning of our big day and she was delightful! She was always quick to respond to any questions we had and really made us feel supported throughout the whole planning process. Since our big day we have heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests. The food was delicious, bar lines were fast, and all of the staff working were kind and attentive. We can’t thank Boulder Ridge enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

Best Day Ever!

BRCC went above and beyond in helping me and my husband create the best day for us. The food was amazing (we are still hearing about it) and it was the perfect mix of intimate and close & full of love and family. Gianna was insanely helpful with our vision and throughout the entire planning process, I was not stressed because BRCC took care of us. I highly recommend booking your wedding here!

Boulder Ridge Country Club is the best!!!!

Boulder Ridge Country Club made all of our wedding dreams come true! Everything from our first walk through all the way to our last dance of our wedding night was wonderful! Gianna was always quick to respond and made sure all of our questions were answered and addressed asap. She always went above and beyond to make all of our requests happen. She is incredible at her job and it's obvious how much she cares about the events she is helping coordinate. I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
I used the bridal suite to get ready before our ceremony and the staff made sure my bridesmaids and I had everything we could need. They were even able to provide items we had forgotten (i.e. extension cords).
We are incredibly happy that we found Boulder Ridge Country Club and would HIGHLY recommend having your event there!! I had never planned an event for 160 people before and Gianna made it so easy. There is not a single complaint to be made about the venue, packages, or planning process at Boulder Ridge.
