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.

Working with Separk was super easy from start to finish. We had Hannah as our wedding coordinator and she did a great job with creating and sticking to the timeline. She also did great at setting up our decor items and some flowers we brought to the venue. She was very communicative with us and our bridal party/family so that everyone knew what was expected from them for the ceremony. Overall we had a great experience with Separk and had the most perfect wedding thanks to them!
