I cannot say enough positive things about Indian Ridge. My expectations for my DIY barn wedding were far exceeded because of Ricky and his team. I worked with Amber, the venue coordinator and Jill, the day-of coordinator, and they were outstanding. Overall 10/10 experience no doubt.
Ricky, Jill and Amber went above and beyond to help me with anything I needed even if it was likely outside of their responsibilities. They were 100% focused on me and my wedding.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and accommodating. Everything was so clean and elegant, from the lake view, to the lights in the barn, to even the bathrooms, it is already picture perfect for an elegant rustic wedding without adding any additional decorations. But that is another great thing about this venue, they welcome you to decorate however you’d like and use the space however you’d like, on top of being more than happy to help make your vision come true. There is a waterfall that is great for pictures. There are so many picture spots, two amazing 10-person Airbnbs on property, a bridal suite for the couple to stay the night of their wedding, and there is even a salon room with hair and makeup chairs that is AMAZING because it eliminated all the getting ready chaos from having 12 girls getting ready in the same place. From all of the photos we were posting the day leading up to the wedding, our guests thought we were at 6 completely different places and were so surprised to realize we never left the venue to get pictures of us having dinner on the deck of the Airbnb, kayaking on the lake, at the waterfall, in a salon and also in the barn. It was everything we wanted and needed in one place.
Ricky is incredible, he was so patient and kind, being on call basically all day to escort my 20-person wedding party around for whatever they needed. He was SO thoughtful, making sure there was coffee and creamer in the salon, that the barn was set up exactly how I wanted it, and even made sure I knew which shoulder to tap my husband on for our first look. Anything we needed he immediately took care of it, and was so accommodating to every request we had. He is such a cool, genuine person and amazingly helpful.
Amber is SO SWEET! She took the time to bring me around the venue multiple times before the wedding and help me figure out logistics, and even helped me set up a table with decorations and decide how to do it. She found me often at the party just to make sure I had a drink and asked if I needed anything. She was super responsive and even when I changed my mind about things as the planning went on, she was happy to accommodate and work with me on everything.
Jill went so far beyond my expectations, she was so great and thought of every little thing I didn’t. She had so many great ideas to make my day run smoothly, and even spent the night before the wedding with us doing a rehearsal to ease my nerves, which took a lot of time with 20 people. She was FABULOUS and took all the pressure off me of contacting my vendors and coordinating the day schedule. It was so easy to trust her with making sure the day went perfect! From lighting sparklers, to setting up flowers, to helping load everything into our cars at the end of the night, and even dancing with me when I was alone, she was SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bartenders were awesome, the guys who escorted us all over on Rangers were great, and overall the energy and teamwork at the barn was incredible for pulling off the best day of my life! I can’t thank everyone there enough for all they did in preparation and the day of. They’ve got it down to a science, and even when there’s a curveball and something changes or is urgent, they are on top of it without hesitation or frustration. The location is also super convenient with lots of hotels, restaurants and activities in the area! If you’re looking for a barn wedding, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!! My family was in awe, and are already talking about trying to have a family...
