Ricky and the Indian Ridge staff gave my wife and I a truly flawless and easy wedding experience. We first set up a tour and Ricky was very welcoming from the get-go. He drove us around the space and told what we could do at the different locations. We fell in love with the space and Ricky really helped lead the negotiations - pricing was very flexible and it never felt like Ricky was trying to push anything on us or overcharge us. We were open and direct with our plans for the weekend, and he adjusted the price according to what we wanted (on top of the discount he gave us as this was right after everything started opening back up after the pandemic). There were options between renting the space for a single day vs. the weekend package. We opted for the weekend package and the space was available to use starting at ~1pm on Friday till lunchtime on Sunday.

While it wasn’t available to us at the time, Ricky had talked about want to make Indian Ridge an all-inclusive package (the space, catering, bar package, wedding planning , etc.) They obviously know the space best so they're the ones best equipped to advise so things like weather contingencies (tent, moving inside, etc.) are already in place. I believe they are closer to their goal now and have been gradually renovating the space.

We were first set up with Amber, their wedding planner. There are different rates available depending on what services you need. We opted for the month-out services where Amber took the lead on the schedule, seating arrangement, and helped us ensure we covered all of our bases so that nothing fell through the cracks. Indoor/outdoor options were discussed and they had a list of preferred vendors ready. She went above and beyond for us and we’re so thankful.

The accommodations were big enough to host the entire wedding party. The groom’s side stayed in the lodge and while the bride’s side stayed at the Airbnb. The lodge was rustic, very spacious and open, and had a full bar, jacuzzi, TV, pool table, kitchen, multiple beds (but a few were just spaced out by a few yards with thick privacy curtains), etc. Wedding suite (wait there, sleep on wedding night away from everyone). The Airbnb was nice and quaint – a well-maintained house with a deck and multiple rooms. All the rules were straightforward with nothing being over the top. Most of the rules were just meant to preserve the buildings and avoid damages. We had a separate honeymoon suite that we were able to use while waiting in between events. There was seating and we were able to chat with some guests when they arrived and have some quiet time with just us two. There's also a bed and bathroom so that we could go rest for the night once the reception was over. Additional amenities were being able to swim/kayak in the lake, the volleyball court, and a couple of walking trails (like by the orchard).

The day itself went so smoothly and we were able to go at our leisure. Amber kept us on pace and Ricky was attentive throughout the entire process. He transported us to the location for our first look and arranged rides for family members with limited mobility. Ricky had staff direct the parking, was setting everything up with his staff while periodically checking in with us and managed everything from the background during the reception without being cumbersome.

The grounds were well-maintained and lawn games (like cornhole) were available to guests during the cocktail hour. There was a refreshment center for guests when they arrived because the wedding was on a sunny Memorial Day that was a bit warmer than usual. The barn is insulated and was air-conditioned well for the entire reception. The grounds were gorgeous for the Golden Hour pictures. While the night was winding down, there was a bonfire set up outside with beer/wine available outside as guests were relaxing for the night after dancing their butts off.

My friends and family still talk about how beautiful the entire venue was. One of my friends is even hosting an engagement party because his then-girlfriend-now-fiancée loved the venue so much. Ricky even threw in a delicious Sunday brunch for us of fruit, juice, coffee, egg dishes, baked goods, etc. before everyone departed. We were not rushed off the property and was super accommodating and considerate of how all of us felt from having a bit too much fun the night before. We loved how customizable the space was – we kept it simple and modest, but Amber and Ricky offered necessary input so that we could still maximize the space. It never felt over-the-top or like some big production, even though that would be possible if that’s what you were aiming for. We had a great experience with Ricky and the team and we’re looking forward to visiting the location soon for our friend’s party!

Indian Ridge is the perfect Hudson Valley wedding venue! Ricky, Amber and the entire team there were incredible and worked so hard to make our dream day a reality. They were extremely accommodating and we felt truly taken care of. The property is absolutely stunning, from the dreamy ceremony cite by the lake to the beautiful barn. We couldn't recommend them more - please get married here!

From the very first interaction with Ricky and Amber, we had nothing shy of an incredible experience throughout our entire wedding planning process. Indian Ridge is a beautiful venue that Ricky and his team continue to update and make it even more beautiful as the time goes on. The grounds are well maintained, and the amount of love and effort they put into this property is extremely evident. Ricky and Amber were a pleasure to work with- they were always willing to answer any of our last minute questions, whether they were big or small. We are so grateful we found Indian Ridge! Our wedding day was perfect, and was by far the best day of our lives. All of our guests continue to compliment us on the awesome experience they had at our wedding in October 2023- from the bar making excellent drinks, the coziness and elegance of the barn allowing us the romantic feel we were attempting to achieve, beautiful locations throughout the property to take photos and videos that we will continue to look back at for a lifetime, lawn games, fire pit, and all of the other vendors we hired to make this day as perfect as it was. We already want to host another large scale party at Indian Ridge- we cannot recommend Indian Ridge enough!

We are so happy we chose Indian Ridge as our wedding venue! It was absolutely beautiful. We still cannot get over how perfect it was. The setting is naturally picturesque (we also had amazing weather)- from the rustic and spacious barn to the gorgeous lake to the romantic waterfall where we did our first look- all breathtaking! All of our guests were in awe of the beautiful scenery. Ricky and Amber were amazing throughout the process. We planned our wedding in 6 months and they provided a lot of help and guidance. We did pay for the extra coordination package and it was well worth it. We truly had the perfect wedding thanks to Indian Ridge! Highly recommend

We knew that this was the venue for our wedding even though it was the first one we toured. Ricky was incredibly accommodating from that very first day, making us feel comfortable and excited for the planning process. Ricky and Amber were always a phone call or text away when we had any questions or concerns. Even with rain all morning, once it stopped, the field was dry and ready within hours which is not something many outdoor ceremony sites can boast. We did not have to worry about any of the little details as Amber, Alyssa, and Ricky handled everything. We cannot thank them enough for helping make our wedding day nothing short of amazing!

We had our wedding at this gorgeous property in early October 2022. Everything from start to finish was easy, organized, and exceptionally beautiful. We wanted an outdoor wedding with flexibility for indoor space, gorgeous private grounds, and a great Hudson Valley location. Owner Ricky and venue coordinator Amber totally delivered - the venue was a great value for the area and you don’t compromise on any details. Plus, Amber was one of the most responsive and organized people we worked with throughout the whole wedding planning process.

Thank you Indian Ridge!

Indian Ridge is the most amazing wedding venue! Living in Colorado and planning a wedding in NY is not the easiest task. But, the first time I saw Indian Ridge I knew it was the venue for us! The barn was absolutely stunning, even in the middle of December. It is truly a hidden gem. Once we decided to move forward with Indian Ridge, it was seamless from there! Ricky and his team are extremely passionate about the barn and property. We visited NY again, after a year of booking with Indian Ridge, and the barn looked more amazing than it did the first time we saw it. They stained the barn, had the most amazing wood bar built, and upgraded a few other things! We only used the property for our reception but it far exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely stunning from the cocktail hour outside, to the reception inside, I would not have changed a thing about it! You are able to create your own vision with this perfect canvas, but the barn itself is perfection! Also, we used Amber as our day of coordinator and she is AMAZING!! Being from Colorado, we only met on the phone and then met the day before our wedding. We told he our vision for the barn and she exceeded our expectations beyond belief. The day moved extremely smooth because of her. She was available at any moment during the day if we wanted to change something or had questions. Ricky was also a huge part of our day. He made sure that everything was perfect and running smoothly. He provided us and our photogrpaher/videographer with rides to wherever we needed to take photos. Ricky runs an amazing establishment! We could not be happier with our choice of Indian Ridge for our wedding venue. Everyone at our wedding was amazed with the venue and cannot wait to tell others that are getting married to get married there! Indian Ridge is absolutley amazing!

We booked Indian Ridge for our wedding venue in large part due to the great reviews it received online, and we had such an amazing time that we want to share it with future guests! Our overall experience with the venue was wonderful from start to finish. To start with the space itself: as many people have said, Indian Ridge is breath-takingly gorgeous. We visited close to a dozen farms that advertised a similar venue, but when we went to Indian Ridge, we both had the “wow” moment as it was by far the largest, most beautiful, and incredibly diverse landscape we had visited. The grounds are huge, and there are so many unique spots which make for amazing photos. There are also two airbnbs on site which we rented out for the weekend, both of which are super well kept and made us feel like the weekend was even more intimate. Thirdly, there is also a small “restaurant” space available for rent, where we also had our rehearsal dinner. The space is cozy and lovely, and we loved that our guests had the chance to visit several different buildings on the property during the weekend. The barn, where the reception is held, is also so lovely. It gives you that rustic feel while at the same time, its air conditioning and clean wooden finishes gives it a little modern touch. We loved that Indian Ridge gives the flexibility of bringing in outside vendors of your choice. Moreover, Amber, the site coordinator, was super on top of making sure they all were taken care of and organized. While you do have to go through Indian Ridge for alcohol and bar packaging, we thought that the bartenders were really excellent, professional, and attentive! They made actually delicious drinks - which is not a given at some wedding bars!! Finally, a note on the service: Ricky, the owner, is an awesome guy as everyone in previous comments has written. He was always around if we needed him, and drove our wedding party around the property so that we could get to various photo sites quickly and easily. As everyone has already said, this venue is a hidden gem! Not only is the venue itself amazing, but you are just 15 mins away from New Paltz, where our guests stayed and had such a great weekend exploring the town. In short, if you are looking for a Hudson Valley “rustic” wedding, Indian Ridge is the best spot!!! Can’t recommend them highly enough!!!

We booked Indian Ridge back in early 2020 pre-pandemic - and honestly fell in love with the venue before the new barn was even complete. We ended up postponing due to COVID to put health first, and Ricky and his team stood by and supported us the entire time. Indian Ridge is not your average DIY as it comes with an amazing (and new ) bridal suite, the option to rent 2 amazing airbnbs on-site - we rented both for our bridal party and it made the weekend all that more special - and there are so many stunning areas around the property for photos like the waterfall, lake/ beach, apple orchards, etc. I was hesitant to do a DIY type wedding, but the beautiful barn is well equipped and comes with tables, chairs and suggested vendors. The venue was a dream, but definitely a lot of work leading up to lock in the vision you want - 10x better than any catering call.

We worked with Heather Kinkade as our full wedding planner - who I highly recommend. She handled my insane questions, countless vendors, many many details and almost 2 years of planning. Heather is super responsive with her clients, knows many local vendors and makes you feel like her only client. She is also a rockstar at floor plans and design layout with Jill and her team, and works well with Ricky.

On the day of the wedding Ricky was a rockstar; he chauffeured my husband and I around in his ATV buggy, as the property was massive for photos, answered any questions we had and followed up with us after, even to see how our honeymoon was, etc.

Amber was newer to the team when we were already in the middle of planning, but she was very responsive and worked with my planner.

Indian Ridge is truly a WOW-factor wedding venue. It has everything for guests, especially for summer and fall weddings; outdoor fire pit, massive barn - we had a dance crew and they LOVED IT- and smores as well, and place to enjoy cigars.

The property is so versatile and private. I'd recommend it to anyone if you are willing to work with a planner. We had a big Italian wedding with an amazing DJ/band, a lot of frills and the space made it perfect. Lola's Catering does an amazing job at this venue and knows the space well, so I'd also recommend them. It is definitely a hefty expense to host a wedding at Indian Ridge- if you are into so many details and unique vendors like me, but truly worth every penny. As someone who is used to Long Island venues and elegance, this Hudson Valley rustic yet chic dream is what you pour into it; Indian Ridge will always be special to us.

I got married at Indian Ridge this past weekend. Rick and his team were SO easy to work with. They met every request with ease. Amber was our day of coordinator and went above and beyond helping with decor set up and making sure our day ran smoothly.

So thankful! What a stunning venue!
