Mound Ridge is a rustic DIY (Design It Yourself) venue, an open canvas just waiting for your special touches to make it your own! This mystical unique space is the home of beautiful stone landscape structures nestled in the Ozark ridge overlooking the Upper Meramec River. This beautiful "camp/campus" is located between St. James, Missouri (wine country) and Steelville, Missouri (known for float trips).
As you can see from the pictures brides and grooms have made it their own woven tapestry of their special dreams on their special day.
