Weekend Wedding Experience
My husband and I could not recommend this venue enough. We recently got married there and did a weekend package that included lodging as well. Julie and Richard who run the venue are true professionals and know how orchestrate the whole weekend ensuring a perfect wedding day. They are very communicative and kind. We also had an incident with my grandpa who has diabetes and he ended up having a low blood sugar episode. They acted immediately making sure he got the care he needed to recover and enjoy the rest of the night. Which allowed us to continue with our wedding day knowing he was in great hands. Along with incredible staff the property is breathtaking. I truly believe the pictures online don’t do property justice. If you love the country you will love this venue.

Our dream wedding
Truly our dream wedding and all staff members were so nice and welcoming! They have a decor barn full of decoration to use on your big day - a big lodge for 20 people to stay in and they offer shuttles to and from places! Would recommend everyone have their wedding here! Especially when the wildflowers in front of the chapel are in bloom because it’s beautiful and there are so many butterflies!!

From the moment we arrived on Friday, Julie and Richard went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were right there helping with decorations, answering every question we had, and just being the most supportive, welcoming hosts.
Our wedding day was absolutely flawless. I truly couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect day. Their property is beyond beautiful—every single corner, from the charming chapel and stunning barn to the cozy house, is so well taken care of and filled with love. You can tell how much pride they take in what they do, and it shows in every detail.
If you’re looking for a venue that is not only breathtaking but also run by two genuinely kind and amazing people—Sunset Ridge Farms is it. We are forever grateful to have gotten married there!

An undeniably beautiful venue!
Our wedding ceremony, October 26, 2024, was truly a fairy tale in the making! This place is absolutely gorgeous with all the rustic vibes, feels, original country style decor and ambience. Nestled within the Daniel Boone National Forest, near the Red River Gorge, this hidden gem can be found. The entire property is stunning and laid out so well.
The venue itself is beautiful, meticulously up-kept and clean. The rustic feel and open concept of the reception barn, lodge and Chapel, made it the perfect space for us to decorate, personalize, and welcome our family and friends. The property allowed us to mingle easily with our guests while the acreage gave us space to get away, alone, for a few minutes as well as take some amazing photos. The natural wildflowers, which frame up the Chapel and walkway, are truly aesthetically pleasing and made my Pinterest board come to life. The facade of an almost abandoned, but rustic look/feel of the Chapel's main entrance, instantly drew me into wanting to book this venue!
The ceremony space was so picturesque as our family and friends were seated comfortably while watching us say our vows and I do’s along with the open-air concept of the Chapel itself which offered the utmost natural beauty backdrop of nature and wildflowers.
The sweet family who owns and runs the venue, are professional, organized, friendly and so welcoming and hospitable. Anytime I had a question, my emails were answered promptly with detailed information. Julie and her staff run this venue like a well-oiled machine to which I appreciate her Type A personality. She knows exactly to the minute, what needs to take place/happen and what will transpire into making your wedding day run as smoothly as possible. I encourage you to visit in person and take in the space. So much potential, charm and southern hospitality!
