“We couldn't be happier that we chose Powder Ridge as a wedding venue! From the first tour of the venue to the last dance on our wedding day their staff was absolutely incredible. Laura at Powder Ridge was a huge help during the planning process and the weekend of the wedding. She was knowledgable, friendly, and punctual on every detail! Powder Ridge made the wedding planning process so easy. They have a lot of built in perks to using them as a vendor. They can host the ceremony and reception all in one place - they cater the meals in-house (with fantastic food!), the bar is also run by them. A lot of venues have you hire the big ticket items in to their space. It made it very easy for us that most of this was taken care of by them! The staff on the day of was so attentive, our guests were raving about how beautiful Powder Ridge was in the summer. Your pictures will be beautiful with how green everything is! Another great perk is that you get to utilize the venue the whole weekend - a lot of venue's nowadays have several weddings on one weekend....Powder Ridge lets you decorate on Friday morning, rehearse Friday evening, and have a blast on your wedding day without the scramble of picking up all the decor on Saturday night. We had the best wedding day - and a huge part of the success of the day was because of Powder Ridge and their staff. We couldn't be more impressed with how smooth and polished our wedding was. Our friends and family are still talking about how perfect the day was. We are so grateful for all Powder Ridge did for us and would highly recommend them as a venue for your big day!”
