We were so happy that we picked Lavender Ridge to have our wedding! It is such a beautiful venue!! Our guests could not believe what an amazing place it was! Cameron was so amazing at helping us plan our wedding every step of the way! I could not have imagined having to figure it out all on my own! I felt confident that everything would run smoothly because of Cameron and the staff at Lavender Ridge. He was always available when I had any questions. Cameron is the day of coordinator on your wedding day and we also hired him to be our DJ. This was the best choice for sure since he knew exactly how to make everything flow smoothly! All of our guests kept saying how smoothly the whole wedding went and it just flowed perfectly! Cameron had the timeline down perfectly! He was so sweet, funny, very professional, he made our day so amazing! We can't thank him enough, and the whole team at Lavender Ridge! I really loved this venue too because we were able to bring in our own caterer and also our own beverages! When I was looking around at venues most venues did not let you do this! I highly recommend Lavender Ridge for your wedding venue! It is the coolest venue in the area for sure! So beautiful, and so cool that the wedding and reception was held in the same place so that nobody had to drive!! And, you can't beat being a bride walking down the middle of the beautiful lavender field!!

We had originally booked a different venue for our wedding but after talking to Kristie and seeing how easy she was to work with and seeing how lovely the grounds were we immediately switched. We thought this would be the perfect venue for us and we were right! The staff at Lavender Ridge helped make our so special. Kristie and Cameron are a bride's dream to work with! Even in the crazy stressful weeks right before our wedding they helped keep me calm and made things so easy by answering all my questions, usually within hours. They had great recommendations and suggestions for every question I had. On the day of the wedding they made sure everything ran smoothly and many of our guests told us how nice and helpful they were. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! Our photographer was thrilled when she saw the grounds and how many beautiful places there were to take photos. Lavender Ridge provided table runners and centerpieces so we only had to bring minimal decor and we got so many complements about how pretty everything was. Our guests loved the corn hole game the venue put out, we practically had to drag them away! We did have a few preventable hiccups with the in-house DJ, but short of going back in time and not making the mistakes, we did feel that in the end he made it as right as could be done. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple that wants things to be as beautiful, easy, and stress-free as a wedding can be!

Cameron is an excellent coordinator. He really kept things going smooth. He was always available for questions or additional walk throughs. I wouldn't recommend the commonly picked house DJ. Although he was very friendly he did not follow through with most of our requests. The venue is beautifully lit, I heard nothing but positive feedback.

Awesome family based business. Venue was impeccable, service was wonderful, Cameron was beyond helpful. Beautiful grounds, and the lavender is amazing. If I needed an outdoor venue in Reno ever again, I would only go to Lavender Ridge. Thanks Harris Family!

Disappointed but not surprised

The switch up is unreal, had I wonderful conversation with Cameron, i guess on the phone my English accent maybe made him think was dealing with someone different. My husband, daughter ( bride to be) and her fiancé showed up, it took him a moment to get up off his chair and of his phone to greet us. I think he was surprised that i didn't look like I sounded, it happens a lot. I'm used to it but saddens me that it affected my daughter this time. He seemed friendly showed us around, we went into the office to talk about pricing as we had a specific budget which the packages he hsd were a perfect fir. He informed us that we had to use the in house catering Fig Tree( thats a whole other review) we told him we'd tried to contact them as it was important to meet with them first for a tasting before we would book the venue. He agreed. Since then we have left several messages with him with regard to booking and i guess he must have said something to Fig tree because before our tour they were going to send menus and afterwards they would not return our call. My daughter and i were disappointed but not surprised. Anyway lavender ridge. Is a beautiful place with rotten energy. Im glad my daughter and her fiancé will not be starting their forever at that place . Needless to say we found the perfect place elsewhere
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
