About

Ritter Farms is a family farm owned and operated in the Kittitas Valley for 5 generations. Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Ritter Farms offers a truly unique setting that surrounds you with the character and charm of a country farm as well as the breathtaking views of mountain peaks.

Conveniently located near Cle Elum and Roslyn off Interstate 90, we are just an hour from Bellevue, Wenatchee, Yakima, and the Columbia gorge.

The focal point of our venue is the rustic timber barn. The tamarack poles and Douglas fir timbers provide the perfect backdrop for any reception. Our facility has a fully equipped kitchen, bar with tap system, buffet serving area, separate bride and groom dressing rooms, and elegant bathrooms. We offer two incredible options for ceremony sites on the front lawn of the farmhouse or the open hay field. The 25 acres of surrounding grounds include the backdrop of the Cascades, old-growth forest, open fields, and charming historic buildings.

Our season runs from May through October. Our rental includes a full 12 hour day, and we offer discounts for Sunday and midweek!

Whether you're planning a wedding, family reunion, graduation, retirement, or corporate event, Ritter Farms will provide the perfect location for your event that you and your guests will remember for years to come.

We got married at Ritter Farms in July of this year. Firstly the grounds are absolutely stunning - the mountains and fields make for excellent photos and the barn is simply gorgeous - you hardly need to decorate it, it's so beautiful on it's own. We went with Ritter Farms because not only is it an absolutely gorgeous venue, but the owners Bryan and Debi are so great to work with. We really felt like they knew what they were doing and were going to take care of us right from the start and throughout our day. Bryan was so incredibly helpful in advising us on our ceremony structure/music, rehearsal, schedule and coordination on the day-of- including coordinating with the vendors. I don't know how we would have done it without that thorough service that is included! And, Debi was so helpful and accommodating for all of our food questions. We did ice-cream with a toppings bar, and she and their staff organized and set it all up and were so flexible and accommodating with everything extra that we requested. We had salmon, spinach salad, potatoes, veggie pasta and rosemary chicken. Our guests raved about the food! We had a nice lunch of sandwiches (GF!), chips and fruit delivered to our respective cabins while we were getting ready, which was so perfect. We can't thank Bryan and Debi enough! They really know what they're doing and not having ever planned a wedding before, having advice at your fingertips was really priceless.

My daughter was married at Ritter Farms this summer, and we were all thrilled at how well everything turned out. The barn with the wagon wheel chandeliers and all the tiny lights was so charming and roomy enough to very comfortably accommodate our 155 guests with a large area for dancing. The outdoor setting with the willow tree and pond, mountains in the background and miniature ponies is beautiful. Bryan and Debi Ritter are lovely people who could not have been more accommodating and professional. They even offered to make any recipe we provided although we chose to stick with their usual options. We decided on the prime rib and vegetarian lasagna as entrees, and all the guests seemed to love the food. We rented houses at Suncadia for the weekend and had a great family reunion with our east coast relatives. Stan the Man, who offers transportation around the area, took all our guests wherever they needed to go after the reception. He only asks for donations. That worked out well for those who didn’t want to drive.
I would highly recommend Ritter Farms for any couple wanting a casual but elegant wedding in a beautiful, rustic, natural setting. Thanks to the Ritters for a wonderfully memorable event.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience! My husband and I were looking for an outdoor venue for our summer wedding that showcased the beautiful PNW. We wanted to work with people who didn't seem to be in the "wedding biz". We toured several venues, yet we felt that it was all about the business of a wedding, not about the intimate party we wanted to throw for our family and friends. When we met the Ritters, we knew we wanted to have our wedding on their beautiful farm. Bryan and Debbie are great at what they do. Bryan is beyond organized, and a great communicator. Debbie and her team created tasty dishes that everyone loved. They made us feel so welcome, and it was easy for my husband and I to keep our eye on what really mattered... getting married! Planning our wedding at Ritter was stress free. Throughout our year of planning, Bryan gave us practical guidance. He had us out to the farm two times for a dinner tasting and final setup meeting.
We had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Ritter the Friday evening before the wedding. Bryan seamlessly guided us through our ceremony practice. He was experienced and had great advice; yet he made it so we could have fun with it, and make it our own. Friday was such a fun day, dinner was fabulous, and we had time to set up the decor the day before. This made for less work the morning of the wedding. The bridesmaid and groomsmen have separate beautiful little "houses" to get ready in. Some of my favorite photos of that day were getting ready with my girls in that gorgeous space. The Ritter Farms team was working behind the scenes to make for a beautiful, dreamy experience. My husband and I would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you Bryan and Debbie!
