Ever since our wedding in 2013, we wanted to open up a wedding venue. Helping others plan for their special day and seeing people gather to celebrate is something to experience. That's why we wanted to try something new and expand our careers! This year, our dreams finally came true. We created Walnut Ridge, a private spot away from the city. We can't wait to meet with you and help plan your special day!
