White Iron Ridge Venue was the perfect location for our special day. The communication with the venue staff leading up to our wedding was very quick and efficient, which we greatly appreciated during the hectic planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and magnificent - the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. On the day-of, the staff worked diligently and carefully to flip the room from the ceremony set up to the reception decor in a very short period of time. All of the vendors were polite, professional, and eager to assist us in any way possible. We could not have asked for a better venue or team to host our wedding - everything was handled smoothly and the gorgeous mountain venue provided the ideal atmosphere to celebrate our marriage with friends and family.

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!
