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.

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!

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!

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!
