The absolute best!
Truly the most beautiful venue and so much care goes into each thing they do! From the very start, everything was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, all of our guests have been talking about it; neither one of us even like cake, but we loved theirs!! The entire property is gorgeous and meticulously cared for, they even grow ingredients there for the freshest best tasting meals. Communication was fantastic, they were on top of everything, and executed it extremely well. The entire team was so kind, helpful and professional but still so fun to have around! Haley and Kate singlehandedly saved the ceremony when we realized halfway through the rings never made it out of the house, they were already on it and running them down for us! We cannot say enough how much we adored everyone there and how just wonderful everything was! We highly recommend them!

perfect wedding
our wedding here was a dream. we got married early may and the weather was perfect and the sunsets were stunning. the entire group that runs this venue are the nicest people you’ll ever meet and go above and beyond for anything you’ll need. the food from the in house chef was incredible and the planning/ceremony went perfect with the in house wedding planner. the property itself is also beautiful. there are many cabins and a main house for all of your close friends/family to stay, the ceremony spot outside on the mountain and the reception pavilion were beautiful, and the fire pit was the perfect place to end each night. overall couldn’t recommend a better place to get married.
Haley Sanger•Jun 29, 2026Hi Jacob! Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review. It truly means the world to our whole team. Your May wedding was such a joy for us — the mountain views, the sunsets, your families, and the energy you brought made the entire weekend unforgettable. We’re thrilled to hear you loved the food, the planning support, and the experience across the property. We’re so grateful you chose Serenity Ridge and even more grateful you took the time to share your experience. Wishing you both all the happiness ahead. Warmly, Haley and the SR Team!

Beautiful Venue, Even Better People
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.
Haley Sanger•Jan 3, 2026Hi Valerie! Thank you so much for this beautiful review.

Serenity Ridge will always hold a special place in our hearts as well, and we’re honored to have been part of your day. Haley, Katie, Jordan and Elliot!

Serenity Ridge Has It All!!
Serenity Ridge is truly the perfect wedding venue. It offers everything you could possibly want—exceptional food, beautiful on-site accommodations, a seamless rehearsal dinner experience, an incredible staff, full access to the property for the entire weekend, and absolutely breathtaking views. Haley was incredible throughout the entire planning process. Every little detail I wanted to adjust or refine was handled flawlessly. She took what could have been a stressful time and made it genuinely enjoyable and worry-free. The food was phenomenal. We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding here, and out of nearly 100 guests, not a single person had anything less than glowing praise. All night long, people raved about how delicious everything was. The kitchen staff is wonderfully flexible—if you have a vision, they will bring it to life. The accommodations were also outstanding. Having my close family in the cabins, my bridal party in the hilltop house, and the yurt for ourselves after the wedding—without having to worry about transportation—was an absolute dream. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. I’d choose Serenity Ridge every single time.
Haley Sanger•Dec 12, 2025Hi Rachael, We’re beyond grateful for your amazing review! It was such a joy to be part of your wedding weekend at Serenity Ridge. Knowing that the food, accommodations, and views created such a memorable experience for you and your family and guests means everything to us. Our team loved bringing your vision to life and making the planning process smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for trusting us with such an important milestone—we’d choose to celebrate with you again in a heartbeat! - Haley, Katie, Jordan and Elliot and our whole SR Team!

The most beautiful venue!
From the moment we visited, we knew Serenity Ridge would be our wedding venue! Haley and her team are so sweet and supportive, helpful and communicative every step of the way. They provide not only the venue, but also places for you and your loved ones to stay the whole weekend, the most delicious meals, and so many items of decor and fun that help make the whole weekend so special. No exaggeration, the number one question I was asked at my wedding was "How did you find this place?!? It's so amazing!!" Everyone there is so kind and so invested in making the whole weekend the best it could be. I can't recommend Serenity Ridge more enthusiastically!
Haley Sanger•Dec 12, 2025Hi Anna! We’re so touched by your kind words! It was such a joy to host your wedding weekend at Serenity Ridge. Knowing that the food, accommodations, and little details made the celebration so special for you and your guests means everything to us. Our team loved being part of your journey and making sure it felt seamless and memorable. Thank you for choosing us—we’re honored to have been part of such an incredible milestone! - Haley, Katie, Elliot, Jordan and our entire team here at SR
