The venue is a photographer's dream. Every corner offers a storybook setting—whether it's portraits among the trees, lakeside snapshots, or candid moments beneath the pavilion’s beams.

Upgrades with Comfort in Mind

What sets Whitetail Ridge apart isn’t just the natural beauty—it’s also the attention to thoughtful, guest-friendly updates. Most notably, the venue recently unveiled brand-new, beautifully designed men’s and women’s restroom facilities. ADA-compliant and crafted with comfort in mind, they add a modern polish while maintaining the venue’s charming rustic appeal.

These additions reflect the owners’ commitment to ensuring that every guest—whether they're celebrating love, toasting a milestone, or dancing the night away—feels well taken care of from arrival to final farewell.

Space to Celebrate

Whitetail Ridge shines in its spaciousness. The venue easily accommodates large guest lists without ever feeling crowded. The airy pavilion is ideal for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or even outdoor dinners under the stars. For indoor events, the barn offers a spacious area for dining, dancing, and entertainment, adaptable to various wedding styles—from boho to black tie.

The venue’s open layout also lends itself to creative event planning. Food trucks, lawn games, live music, photo booths—you name it. There’s room to bring your wedding dreams to life without feeling constrained by space or layout limitations.

2025 PRICING

As mentioned, Whitetail Ridge remains affordable, especially considering the amenities, capacity, and scenery. As of 2025, hosting your wedding at Whitetail Ridge is a flat rate of $6,000, plus an additional $250 for alcohol liability insurance. Even if you don't plan to have alcohol at your wedding, we require this because we want to make sure you are covered in case someone decides to bring their own, and then an issue occurs. It is best to be covered, which is why we require it for all weddings. 

If you choose to return the next day for cleanup and the property has been left in good condition with no damages, you’ll receive $500 back! It’s a gesture that not only encourages respect for the space but also helps couples stretch their wedding budgets just a little further!

$6000 plus $250 Liability.

BONUS: We will refund you $500 if you clean up 100% and there is no damage.  In this case, our wedding venue would end up costing you only $5750.
