WHICH ONE ARE YOU PLANNING?

Client Stories

-Noah

Stayed in their cabin and it was an amazing experience!! Perfect winter getaway tucked back in the woods.

One of the highlights was the barndominium where our wedding party stayed, which significantly minimized any stress related to timing and logistics. It allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment leading up to the ceremony.

-Kayla

The venue itself is absolutely stunning—every corner is picturesque and provided the ideal backdrop for our celebration. There wasn't a single detail overlooked when it came to accommodating our wedding needs.

-Alexia

I would recommend this venue to absolutely everyone, whether the couple is local or looking for destination spots. The venue is enormous and can accommodate a large guest list

-Lauren

I looked at others, but nothing even came close to comparing. I was going for a rustic elegance theme to my wedding and this venue checked alllllll the boxes. It was cozy, warm, angelic and everything in between. 

We wish we could relive our weekend at Bear Ridge over and over again. If you are considering Bear Ridge for your wedding venue, we can promise your day will be just as magical as ours!

-Maddie

On top of that Chelsea has been so communicative through the whole process which helped my anxiety with much of the planing. 

-Julia

The venue is absolutely beautiful and our guests only had great things to say. One of our favorite parts was the basement, super convenient for the wedding party. Definitely recommend for any event!

- Angelline

The venue was gorgeous, the houses were amazing for hosting our families, & the honeymoon cabin was just the perfect place to relax after a long wedding day. Many friends and family talked about this “almost hidden treasure” that is Bear Ridge!

- Elijah

We had our wedding here and I could not put into words how magical the entire experience was

-Ross

 we had so much fun seeing our guest reactions to seeing our wedding venue for the first time and staring wide-eyed with amazement!
