10/10 Recommend, so wonderful!

Where do we even begin?! It is such a beautiful location and was absolutely perfect for our small destination wedding. The Southwest Fields and the Events Center are absolutely beautiful. Cabins and campsites on site were a big hit as well. Constance, Eric & Monte were amazing to work with!!! From the beginning of our planning, Constance was so very helpful with everything from other vendors to decorations. They made check in to the Bridal Suite very easy. When it came to decorating, they were constantly checking in and seeing if we needed any other decor or help with anything. Saturday morning they set up all of the outside decor for us while we were all getting ready. During our reception, we had a problem with my dress and Constance was running around trying to find things to help get it fixed before our sunset photos. If it wasn't for Constance, Eric & Monte, our day would not have gone as smooth as it did. I would definitely recommend Elkhorn Ridge to everyone!!!

Elkhorn was so friendly and welcoming. They were there to help with anything we needed! Best experience ever.

I would recommend Elkhorn to anyone getting married. Their price was fair and they were beyond helpful leading up to and on the wedding day.

Overall the Elkhorn ridge is a beautiful venue. It allows you to have everything in one spot. It even provides lodging of different kinds for guests. I felt their manager to be a bit picky and didn't always communicate the best. My husband and I were pulled from our own reception for about a half hour at a time to take care of issues the staff were having due to payment etc. I found this to be very unprofessional. The reception venue is everything we wanted since we were going for a rustic look. It was also affordable. The only thing that I did not like about the reception was that the chairs we used for our ceremony outside we had to have our guests move them in to the reception hall themselves since they do not provide staff to help at the Elkhorn Ridge. Also I did not like that our reception had to end at midnight.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
