The venue is highly flexible. Indoor spaces like the Tavern and Lounge are ideal for intimate gatherings (50–75 guests), while the outdoor lawn and amphitheater can accommodate up to 1,000 guests. For seated wedding receptions, the typical capacity is around 150–170 guests when utilizing the large reception tent.
Most couples choose the open-air, heart-shaped stone amphitheater, but the 120-acre property includes wildflower gardens and wooded areas for more secluded vows.
Yes, the venue typically utilizes a large reception tent adjacent to the main building. The rustic Tavern and "Zen Shed" bar also provide covered areas.
No. While The Ridge offers in-house catering and can customize a menu for you, they are one of the few venues that actively encourages outside catering or bringing in food trucks if that fits your vision better.
