We knew this was the perfect location for my daughter's wedding and it was fabulous in every way. The ceremony site is stunning, the cocktail location was perfect and the clubhouse was truly had the perfect vibe. The best way to describe this venue is "old world charm" and the wedding coordinator was very responsive, easy to work with and helped my daughter's vision become reality. BEST WEDDING VENUE!!!

Our original venue cancelled on us 3 months prior to our wedding date and luckily River Garden was available the day before (which was close enough for us). A huge plus was the blank canvas concept they have, this allowed us to bring in our own food vendor, especially since we had already booked them! One of their requirements was booking a DJ and Coordinator through their preferred list, which happened to be super easy and helpful for the planning process for me. Communicating with Hanna prior to booking was easy, she had all the answers to all of our questions. Once we officially booked, communication was redirected to their venue manager, Becca. She was helpful when it came to any questions regarding what the venue did or didn't have available. The venue is ultimately a beautiful choice with tons of water features and plenty of photo spaces. It is near the freeway, however with the waterfall wall on, we didn't think it was an issue for us. The venue offers beautiful walnut colored wooden chairs and tables including in the pricing. The ceremony area is the perfect mix of an outdoor and shaded space with the option of multiple backdrops for your ceremony within that area. The reception space is beautiful with plenty of space for guests, and areas additional vendors. The bridal suite has adequate space for getting ready and worked for my small bridal party. However, you aren't able to get into the bridal suite until 10AM, so if you have a bigger group you may have to consider getting ready elsewhere. Another bonus is a new room for grooms to get ready in, which not very many venues offer. There are a few men's restrooms, and plenty of stalls in the women's room with lots of sink space, and even a baby changing table with an additional sink in that space. We had no issues with this venue and would absolutely recommend it based on looks, service and pricing!

Great place for a reception!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Shadowridge!! Working with Codie and Morgan was such a spectacular experience and they made the planning process so easy on us! They were very attentive and sweet the whole year and a half we had with them and it as a bride, I was so thankful to have them! On our wedding day, they were so amazing! They had the bridal suite completely set up for us and made sure we had drinks that we preferred (I’m not a big drinker so they had apple cider for me)! After the ceremony they had some fries in there for all of us in the wedding party too! It was something we were all so surprised by loved so much!! They were open to hearing our ideas and answering any and all questions we had. We had some last second changes the day of the wedding too and they were very quick to jump into action and make it happen! We can’t express how much we loved Shadowridge and we HIGHLY recommend them!! You will absolutely not regret it!! Plus they were fair in price for everything you get with them, and they have payment plans!!!

We had our welcome party dinner at the Woodshed, as we were looking for a large space that would be able to host roughly 100 people. The Woodshed ended up being an awesome space for it and we couldn't recommend it enough. First off, Anndrea was a pleasure to work with. She toured the venue with us, answering all of our questions the day of and afterwards. She was quick to respond and very friendly throughout the entire time. Shoutout to Tiffany as well, who was able to help us out on the day of the event, and helped to bar tend. The venue itself is also such a fun space, with fun accents, such as the live plant wall and the fun tap handles. We created a Spotify playlist that we were able to play using the venue speakers, and we even used the projector screen that they had to play our Nintendo Switch games during the welcome party. Street parking was plentiful and our guests ended up loving the venue as well. We would highly recommend the Woodshed for anyone looking for a fun space to host a gathering or party!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect spot to say “I do”! From the moment we stepped inside, we were completely enchanted. The space was absolutely stunning – warm, elegant, and beautifully designed down to the last detail. The indoor setting was flawless – high ceilings, soft lighting, and a layout that created the perfect flow from ceremony to reception. It felt both intimate and grand at the same time. Every corner was picture-perfect, and our wedding photos turned out gorgeous beyond words! Truly, it was the dreamiest spot for our special day. ✨ The team was a joy to work with – professional, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. If you're looking for a venue that delivers charm, romance, and unforgettable style, this is the place. We’re still glowing from the magic of it all! ❤️ 05/18 — would relive that day in this space over and over again.

There truly aren’t enough wonderful things we could say about this venue. From the moment we first inquired all the way to our wedding day, we felt genuinely special and so well cared for. The property is beautifully secluded, and every bit of landscaping feels thoughtfully designed with so much love and intention. The owner of Victoria Ranch also provided her company’s catering, and the food ended up being one of the standout highlights of our day. We received so many compliments on the dinner, the atmosphere, and especially the incredible staff. Victoria Ranch is truly a hidden gem, filled with charming original details from over 100 years ago that make it all the more unique. Joanne and Kiko were wonderfully attentive, incredibly responsive, and made sure every little detail was perfect. We couldn’t be more grateful.
