Awarded Best of Zola
Emerald Ridge made every part of our weekend so perfect and special. This location and views are absolutely STUNNING. The owners truly cared so much and made our day magical. Their organization and communication are both top notch. We recommend using the coordinator at the venue, Malorie, as she was the true MVP and knows every detail at this venue back to front. We booked the no rush weekend and used the venue for our rehearsal as well. Our dog stayed with us all weekend as well which made us feel right at home. All in all we couldn’t be happier and enjoyed every minute here.

I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at the Magnolia. From the start, Macey was so helpful and answered all of my questions quickly! The day of the event, the staff was incredible. They were available for anything we needed. The venue itself is incredible- the views are absolutely gorgeous and people could not stop talking about how incredible the space was. The weather was perfect in mid-September and they were able to open the sliding doors of the reception space which added another layer of gorgeous views and fresh air that people are still talking about a month later! The space is intimate, serene, and absolutely breathtaking. We LOVED the Magnolia and I would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat! I cannot say enough amazing things about it!!!
