    The Perfect Wedding Experience

    Choosing Serenity Ridge for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! The venue is absolutely stunning, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible team. Haley, Jordan, Katie, and Elliott went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend seamless and unforgettable. Haley was especially helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and the team did an amazing job bringing our vision to life on the wedding day. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel so welcomed and taken care of, allowing us to relax and truly soak in every moment of our wedding weekend. We loved having access to the venue for the entire weekend which allowed us to celebrate with our family and friends at the rehearsal dinner, wedding and farewell brunch the following morning. The on-site accommodations were also beautiful and convenient for the wedding party and close family to stay together for the entire weekend. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was! It was genuinely some of the best food we've ever had. We are so grateful for the Serenity Ridge team for helping us create memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We truly couldn't recommend Serenity Ridge enough for an incredible wedding experience.

    Hi Wendy! Thank you so much for sharing these kind words. It means the world to the entire ownership team to know your wedding weekend felt seamless, welcoming, and truly unforgettable. From the moment you arrived, we loved seeing you relax, be present, and enjoy every part of the celebration. Having you, your families, and your wedding party on the property for the full weekend is exactly the experience we hope every couple enjoys — from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day to the farewell brunch. We’re thrilled the accommodations felt comfortable and convenient, and that your guests were so delighted by the views and the food. Hearing it was some of the best you’ve ever had is such an incredible compliment to our kitchen team. Thank you for trusting us with such an important moment in your lives. We’re honored to have been part of memories you’ll cherish forever and couldn’t be happier that Serenity Ridge felt like the perfect place to begin your marriage. Wishing you both all the love and joy in this next chapter. Serenity Ridge will always be here, cheering you on! - Haley and team!

    The absolute best!

    Truly the most beautiful venue and so much care goes into each thing they do! From the very start, everything was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests have been talking about it; neither one of us even like cake, but we loved theirs!! The entire property is gorgeous and meticulously cared for, they even grow ingredients there for the freshest best tasting meals. Communication was fantastic, they were on top of everything, and executed it extremely well. The entire team was so kind, helpful and professional but still so fun to have around! Haley and Kate singlehandedly saved the ceremony when we realized halfway through the rings never made it out of the house, they were already on it and running them down for us! We cannot say enough how much we adored everyone there and how just wonderful everything was! We highly recommend them!

    Haley Sanger•Oct 12, 2026

    Hi Sara! Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. It means the world to our entire ownership team to hear how special your experience was from start to finish. We care deeply about every detail — from the food to the communication to the flow of the day. Knowing it all felt seamless, delicious, and joy‑filled is the greatest compliment. We’re thrilled your guests loved the meals (including the cake!) and that the beauty of the property and the fresh ingredients we grow here added to the experience. And your ceremony moment will forever be one of our favorite memories — Haley and Katie were so happy to help and loved being part of that story. Thank you for trusting us with such an important weekend and for bringing so much warmth and fun to the property. We adored having you here and are truly honored to have been part of your celebration. Wishing you both all the happiness in this next chapter! THANKS!

    perfect wedding

    our wedding here was a dream. we got married early may and the weather was perfect and the sunsets were stunning. the entire group that runs this venue are the nicest people you’ll ever meet and go above and beyond for anything you’ll need. the food from the in house chef was incredible and the planning/ceremony went perfect with the in house wedding planner. the property itself is also beautiful. there are many cabins and a main house for all of your close friends/family to stay, the ceremony spot outside on the mountain and the reception pavilion were beautiful, and the fire pit was the perfect place to end each night. overall couldn’t recommend a better place to get married.

    Haley Sanger•Jun 29, 2026

    Hi Jacob! Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review. It truly means the world to our whole team. Your May wedding was such a joy for us — the mountain views, the sunsets, your families, and the energy you brought made the entire weekend unforgettable. We’re thrilled to hear you loved the food, the planning support, and the experience across the property. We’re so grateful you chose Serenity Ridge and even more grateful you took the time to share your experience. Wishing you both all the happiness ahead. Warmly, Haley and the SR Team!

    Beautiful Venue, Even Better People

    We are beyond grateful for the incredible team at Serenity Ridge. From start to finish, every experience there was unforgettable. Haley, Jordan, Katie, and Elliott were all so warm, welcoming, and wonderful to work with, and their care and talent truly shine through in everything they do. We had so many guests come up to us to say this was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to—and we couldn’t agree more. We felt completely at ease throughout the entire process knowing we were in such great hands. Serenity Ridge will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t thank this team enough for being such an important part of our wedding day.

    Serenity Ridge Has It All!!

    Serenity Ridge is truly the perfect wedding venue. It offers everything you could possibly want—exceptional food, beautiful on-site accommodations, a seamless rehearsal dinner experience, an incredible staff, full access to the property for the entire weekend, and absolutely breathtaking views. Haley was incredible throughout the entire planning process. Every little detail I wanted to adjust or refine was handled flawlessly. She took what could have been a stressful time and made it genuinely enjoyable and worry-free. The food was phenomenal. We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding here, and out of nearly 100 guests, not a single person had anything less than glowing praise. All night long, people raved about how delicious everything was. The kitchen staff is wonderfully flexible—if you have a vision, they will bring it to life. The accommodations were also outstanding. Having my close family in the cabins, my bridal party in the hilltop house, and the yurt for ourselves after the wedding—without having to worry about transportation—was an absolute dream. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. I’d choose Serenity Ridge every single time.
