History

Gratitude & Grace was originally built in 1878 and was a working farm for many years.

Ron Riddle, a professional musician, and composer is now the owner of Gratitude & Grace. He purchased the property in 2000 as a family home. Over the years they had many wonderful parties and celebrations and "Gratitude & Grace" became a haven for their close friends and families.

Wanting to share the beauty and magic of this amazing place, Ron decided to offer "Gratitude & Grace" to wedding couples as a weekend retreat. Now people come from all over the world to get married and have the best weekend of their life!

People from all races, faiths and sexual preferences are welcome here!

Joyful! Memorable!

An absolutely stunning wedding venue! Ron was so easy to work with and incredibly down to earth! Very responsive and certainly wanted us to feel at ease on our big day! The house was beautiful, spacious and very clean! Also, the house had amazing lighting for wedding photos! Hot tub and pool made it 10x more fun for our guests who stayed the weekend with us. We are SO happy that we held our wedding at Gratitude & Grace! 10/10!

Love Party at G&G

Gratitude & Grace exceeded our expectations! The property is beautiful - even during a thunderstorm - and well-maintained. We shared the gorgeous house and stellar amenities (pool, hot tub, etc.) with our closest friends and family members for an unforgettable weekend of parties.

Ron is an approachable and fun guy who was there to answer any question we had. He ensured that there were no issues at the venue. We felt totally comfortable and at-ease the entire weekend.

I could not recommend this venue more highly! We hope to come back for a reunion party in the future!
