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!

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
