The Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Our Lives We hosted our wedding reception here as a cocktail party under the stars, and it truly was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting was stunning, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairytale. Even though it was mid-June, the evening turned out to be a bit chillier than expected. We had originally set up cooling units for the caterer, but with a quick change of plans, the team seamlessly switched to heating units on the back deck. Their flexibility and professionalism meant everything went off without a hitch. The entire experience—from the ambiance to the attentive service—was flawless. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding anywhere else. It was the best day of our lives, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, adaptable, and unforgettable place to say “I do.”

This venue is amazing. You have access to the entire camp - pavillion, dining hall, fire pits, lodges and cabins. We had about half of our guests spend the entire weekend at the camp with us. They even staffed the rock climbing wall for our guests Saturday morning before our wedding. There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Everything about our planning process and wedding day at Pippin Hill was simply magical. Pippin Hill truly knows how to make a wedding day smooth, seamless, and beautiful. Part of why we chose to get married at Pippin Hill was the breathtaking scenery, but also because of their many plan B options. We knew there was a chance it could rain during our outdoor wedding ceremony, and their rain option, the Veranda, is gorgeous as well. Somehow we ended up dodging Hurricane Dorian’s precipitation for our September 6th wedding and we were able to get married on the lawn with 122 of our closest family members and friends as witnesses. Davis and her team were incredible, the food was exceptional, and overall we just had the best day ever! I loved getting ready in the bridal loft with my girls. On the day-of, I honestly felt 0 stress because I knew the team at Pippin Hill would take care of everything perfectly. I enjoyed every moment of the day. These people are professionals and will put every worry that you may have to rest. I can not recommend Pippin Hill enough!

We got married at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging September 2024 and had a wonderful weekend! Working with Natasha, Oliver, and the rest of the Love Ridge crew was a great experience and they worked hard to make sure we had a great wedding. The gathering lawn was a beautiful and unique setting to have our ceremony, and the newly renovated lodge had ample room for our band and guests to party. We really valued staying on site with family and friends for the weekend to maximize time spent together, and we were told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I wish we could do it all over again!

Had our wedding on 6/22/2024, despite it being the hottest day imaginable the venue was still a dream come true. The sunset and moonrise cannot be competed with. The venue rental included tables and chairs which was huge help, and they even let you use some of the plants that are on site! Nichole is the absolute sweetest! My only wish is that I could go back and relive the day all over again
