The most beautiful wedding venue

We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue to exist in the world. Our day was perfect and we did not have to think about a thing because the staff at Piney River Ranch was on top of it. The food catered by their in-house caterer was delicious and received rave reviews from our guests. If you’re worried about the road, it was worth it. We had our 81 grandma take the Timberline Tour Bus up and no sickness to report. Everyone called it an adventure and forgot about it once they saw the view.

Definitely recommend the full buy-out and sleepover after. It was such a special way to cap off our wedding, sitting around the bonfire with our closest friends.

The Absolute Best Day Ever!

Working with the team at Piney River Ranch was an absolute pleasure. Brittany, Mo and the entire team worked hard to make everything perfect from our initial booking all the way through planning. On our wedding day, everyone did an amazing job to make sure everything went smoothly. We also booked out all of the cabins where we enjoyed the fire pits under the beautiful night sky with endless stars above. Overall, we were extremely blessed to have had our wedding in such beautiful mountain setting working with such fantastic people! Many thanks to the entire Piney Team!

Best venue, best day, beyond perfection

Best wedding venue (and place in general), maybe in the world,, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! Shoshana & Brittany and management were so amazing and so incredibly quick on all responses.

Our wedding here blew away any expectations we could have ever possibly imagined. The scenery was phenomenal, so many activities, everyone was mind boggled by how insane this place is. The canoeing after our ceremony with all of our friends was so fun and so unique, and the photographs on the lake were just insane! We also saw moose during sunrise, and a little at dusk - SO COOL!!!!

One of my favorite things about this venue is that there is no service, so everyone was forced to be incredibly present for the entire event. We had a small wedding of about 50 people and we all stayed in the cabins after the wedding, which was the BEST - I cannot recommend enough having the entire party stay for the night with all of the fire pits lit, and cabin hopping socials.

There are a lot of ppl that complain about the "off roading" to get there and I will definitely argue with that - the dirt road up is really not bad at all, I saw a couple Prius's and regular sedans make it up without any issues.

Best day of our lives, nothing could have been more perfect. Perfect is an understatement, I am insanely obsessed.

THANK YOU PINEY!!!!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
