From the first contact in August 2024 inquiring about the space, to our wedding date in November 2025, AVOR was everything we could’ve asked for from a venue and more. Devon, Amy, ...
the designers were a DREAM to work with. They heard my vision and executed it with perfection. They are such a professional, detail oriented group of people. Devon truly went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was exactly how I wanted it to be. She answered any and all questions that my husband and I had. As a teacher, AVOR was honestly the biggest blessing to me as they were able to do essentially everything in house. A “one stop shop” doesn’t even begin to cover what they are able to offer within their space. If you have a dream, they’ll bring it to life. The food was fabulous and they even made his one request a reality. Devon was the event coordinator of my dreams and having her there from start to finish made for a smooth, stress free process and for the I am eternally grateful. I couldn’t recommend this space enough for future wedding couples.

We will always recommend this venue to everyone. We also loved the one stop shop kind of venue as it made it so much easier for us. Devon and everyone else including the owners made our day so much more special.

We had a few guests who have trouble getting around and the workers delivered their plate of food to their table for them. They were also incredible with the children! The venue provided children plates and gave all the children coloring sheets for their tables during dinner! If you are thinking of using AVOR I highly recommend!

A Venue on the Ridge was the most beautiful place we toured — and had the best staff to match. Choosing them for our wedding reception was the best decision we made!
From the very...
beginning, the team was incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our day stress-free and beautiful. The venue layout was perfect for our guest count, and we loved that the dining area was separate from the dance floor — it made transitions and clean-up so much smoother. Every detail, from the bar to the cake table, was thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed.
The space itself is absolutely stunning, and the newly renovated bridal suites made getting ready such a comfortable and special experience. The venue is also turnkey, so almost everything was included — which made planning so much easier for us!
Devon was amazing throughout the entire process. She answered every question with patience, made us feel so supported, and was a huge help on the day of — even grabbing fans to keep us cool during a muggy afternoon. Shannon brought our vision to life with upgraded decor that truly elevated the look and feel of the entire space. She took everything we said and made it even better than we imagined.
Our guests raved about the food — many said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. Even when small issues came up (like a communication hiccup at the bar), Devon handled everything quickly and professionally.
If you're looking for a breathtaking venue with an incredible team behind it, book A Venue on the Ridge. It was hands-down the best choice we made for our wedding day!

re exceptional, especially when it came to décor. They transformed the space in ways I never imagined. Devon, in particular, made me feel like royalty throughout the whole process, handling every detail with ease, even the last-minute adjustments.
Our guests were absolutely blown away by the food. We served prime rib and chicken cordon bleu, and Amy's incredible culinary skills made everything even more memorable. She not only wowed everyone with the delicious dishes but also took the time to pack up leftovers for us to enjoy after the event – such a thoughtful touch!
The prices at A Venue on the Ridge are incredibly reasonable, which made me feel like we were able to host an elegant and sophisticated wedding without breaking the bank. It was a truly posh experience at an affordable price, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring my dream wedding to life.

They do it all and for such an amazing price. This is the only place you should be getting married!!!

how beautiful the venue is. Just having self-serve water, lemonade and tea on the side of the bar was so convenient for our guests. The entire staff was efficient and organized running our event. Amy is incredible and we appreciate how she worked with our special diets and it was truly delicious. We started out with a charcuterie board for the cocktail hour, a dinner buffet with two entrees. The buffet had two lines with servers serving the food. Our guests didn't wait long at their tables. Then we had late night snacks. Our guests were so excited! Everything was like clock work! Whatever we needed was taken care of. If you are looking for a fabulous one stop shop venue, look no further! We were very grateful to have such a fun-filled and worry free night!
Devon was lovely to work with. She was very professional, kind and patient with us. She was on top of all our needs and always answered all our questions promptly.
We had the best time celebrating!

evon (GM), the owners, and all of the staff was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had! Every one of my guests I have spoken with has been raving about the food, which is made on site by the owners! Our outside ceremony was unfortunately upended due to storms and high winds, but Devon, Shannon, and the rest of the staff saved our day by making an equally beautiful arrangement inside! A Venue on the Ridge is not only priced competitively, but you are truly getting a gorgeous venue, a delicious meal, decor, and a customer service experience that’s is unmatched. Devon made the planning process so easy for me by being very knowledgeable of the industry and anticipating my needs. Every meeting was well planned and she provided me with a handy spreadsheet that helped me budget as I planned other vendors such as the DJ and photographer. Overall, I could not have been more fortunate to find A Venue on the Ridge and I will recommend them to anyone I know who is planning their special day!

Their goal was to make sure my husband and I had the wedding we wanted without the headache of doing everything ourselves. AND THE FOOD. So good!

ey were VERY accommodating and on top of what I could drink and the drinks at my seat at the table so I could truly enjoy our day. Devon was hired in June/July, and my wedding was 8/4…so that made me very nervous that a new person was going to be running my event I’ve spent so much time and money on. BUT SHE DID SO GOOD!! She was so client-centered, detail-oriented, and didn’t skip a beat. Sometimes these venues/companies just want your money, but Devon and A Venue on the Ridge were all about making our day exactly what we wanted and pictured. I highly recommend A Venue on the Ridge for weddings, holiday parties, class reunions, whatever the event because they will 100% knock it out of the park!

That was probably my favorite part, it helps the dance floor stay busy all night. I would 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone. I wish I could relive the day over and over.

ay. They always answered our questions timely and if they didn't exactly know an answer or we had a particular request, we still got things answered ASAP, and it all remained so well priced. Rehearsal/decorating day was made so easy and we were always consulted on what our wishes were. We added many bonuses of uplighting, picture backdrop, barn door backdrop for cake table, and the absolutely beautiful floral decorations for the barn door and our outdoor arbor, late night nacho and churro bar, and they were all SO worth it. Everything was PERFECT. Our wedding day had a range of rain chances and all staff remained positive and made sure we could have our ceremony outside. Tanya, the day of coordinator, was everything I could have wished for and catered to us hand and foot. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day and it was a perfect day that went by way too fast.

One of the best prime ribs we have had. We also used the outdoor patio for the actual wedding and that was set up so nicely. We did very little decorating as they had it all set up already. There was some confusion on the open bar but that was totally on us not clarifying our understanding so I would recommend that you do that. Even create a sign to have on the bar so guest know what is "free" They also ended up recommending a florist who turned out to be extraordinary. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a

I recently had my wedding reception at The Ridge in Elkhorn. Although the food was wonderful and the service was great, I was not impressed with the overall experience. My fiancé...
and I first met with the manager and reviewed costs of the bar services and catering etc. Thirty days out from the wedding, we again met, but with the events coordinator this time. We had a total of 223 adults RSVP and 78 kids under the age of 21 RSVP, 21 of which were age 5 or younger. The events coordinator even made a comment that it was a lot of kids, which we were aware. When we got to the bar services part of the contract, we assumed that we would only be paying bar services for adults old enough to receive BAR services. I was very disappointed that this was not the case and there would be no reduced rates for kids for bar services or meal services. We had to deal with it since we were only 30 days out at this point. We signed the contract and paid for a 6 hour event. In addition to this issue, the night of the reception, the dance floor was packed all night long; everyone was having a great time. Thirty minutes prior to the event closing there were at least 50 people still dancing and my DJ advised me that the events coordinator had told him he would shut down in 15 minutes. I still don't understand why we were shut down early when we had already paid for the full 6 hours and clearly, the party had not died down. Being as this was my wedding, it was the greatest day of my life, but the events coordinator didn't even pretend to be happy at such an occasion. All night, he stomped around the hall and glared at my guests. Several times people came up to me asking who he was and why he had such an attitude. To prevent people from having an event such as mine turn out the way it did, I hope this review helps!

ted was an open room with a large dance floor for a decent price. That is exactly what we got here!
