There are not enough words to describe how incredible this venue & the team are. Elaine and Hannah both worked so hard on our wedding & made it everything we ever dreamed, all while keeping calm and on top of things. Having the venue for the whole weekend for the price seemed impossible but it’s true! And being able to work seamlessly with their trusted vendors made everything a breeze. Plus, they were open and enthusiastic about us bringing in new vendors too. The setting is magical, the people are brilliant and kind, and there is no better place to have a wedding. BOOK HERE & you won’t regret it!!

We stumbled upon this venue by chance to be honest. I wrote Elaine about our date (it’s a leap year so our 7 year dating anniversary landed on a Saturday so our date was important) it was filled, she immediately responded again and said the couple scheduled for that date just rescheduled, we were so excited and thought okay, there’s sign one. We went and toured the venue and were amazed. We loved every bit of it. Esp the ceremony on the lake option. We had another venue to look at but immediately knew Bridlewood Ranch was the one. Elaine and Hannah were great to work with from day one. Come wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was beyond perfect. No hiccups and if there was, I don’t know of it. Everything was on time and went accordingly. Being an all inclusive venue was a life saver & their vendors on their choice list are just as amazing. I can not recommend this venue enough. Also, the groomsmen had a blast, they even came early cause they were able to fish the lake. Talk about everyone being a happy camper ;) the bridal suite remodel was beautiful and will definitely accommodate a large group of people as well as AC being COLD! The whole place is absolutely beautiful!

Bridlewood was amazing in every way. From the first time we went and looked at the venue it was always our first pick. Elaine, Hannah, DJ Dave and others all made a positive impact on our wedding. We enjoyed working with each of them every step of the way and they made everything so easy for us. Hannah made our dream a reality. Elaina was very responsive and friendly from the getgo! DJ Dave hands down was one of the best DJ's. We had so many compliments about him as our DJ. I will forever recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a ceremony/reception. The view is breathtaking.

The Bridlewood Ranch staff was professional, kind, and just overall amazing! They made mine and my fiancés wedding dreams come to life! They were so flexible and attentive to not only mine and my fiancés needs but also all of the guests! They put together the wedding I had always dreamed of and the tears didn’t stop flowing on that day! Hannah the coordinator was a blessing! She was there by my side for the day and she is someone that I will always cherish she was just spectacular! Not only is she an amazing coordinator she is so kind and thoughtful and was so patient with me. She is such a wonderful person! The venue itself was so beautiful and they had every decoration I chose to a tee. A lot of our guests said such great things about Bridlewood to myself and my fiancé. They mentioned how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the staff was, and just how overall beautiful the wedding was. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue, great staff, and a good time for a venue this is the place!

Elaine, Hannah, and the entire Bridlewood staff is amazing. With Bridlewood being an all inclusive venue, they really were there for us every step of the way; from flowers, to catering, to decor. I cannot recommend Bridlewood enough. They really have a beautiful venue and amazing staff. That value is incredible!!! My wedding vision came to life and it was the best day ever! Seriously, highly recommend.

Our wedding at Bridlewood Ranch was the best day of our life. They have ceremonies down by the lake so you can get the beach/lake vibe or can setup under an very old oak tree for the farmhouse rustic country feel. Their reception area is very classy and has enough space for all your add-ons. We had 190 of our friends and family and the Bridlewood team never dropped the ball. We sat down after the wedding trying to think of anything that could of went wrong and couldnt think of anything. This is because they are not just a venue, they are a full service establishment. They have a dedicated team and group of vendors that have been vetted over the years to ensure you a getting a quality company for each piece of your wedding. Highly recommend!

Bridlewood Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding! We wanted to find a venue that was in a quiet area that would give us a private and remote feel. The venue is located so that it is not too far from Orlando so there are plenty of Airbnb and hotel options and close by airports. The ceremony location was everything we had dreamed of, right beside the lake and a gorgeous tree behind us. The stone walkway for the aisle and the benches for our guests gave it a perfect rustic feel. The reception barn gave a perfectly rustic and cozy vibe. Without decorations, the barn's beauty speaks for itself, and when decorated it is something out of a magazine. Working with Hannah, their wonderful coordinator was a breeze and she made the planning process and the day so streamlined and seamless. She was always able to answer our questions and give ideas, advice, and guidance, and managed everything so beautifully for the wedding day. The Bridlewood staff were able to recommend a long vendor list that they have worked with for many weddings which made our search so much easier. We used their suggested florist, dj, bartender, and caterer and they all provided us with 10/10 service. It was also so nice working with vendors who knew Hannah and the venue so well! It was so nice to not have to stress about decorating the day before or day off and not worry about leaving family with any clean up or packing up to do that night or the next day. I cannot sing Bridlewood's praises enough! They made our wedding an absolute dream!

Just had my wedding this past weekend, and it was absolutely beautiful. All of my guests were commenting on the beautiful venue and how it felt like a fairytale. It was everything I could have imagined and then some. Hannah did an exceptional job as the wedding coordinator. She made the whole wedding planning stress-free. I cannot wait to see the photos in a few months, from the 10 highlight photos we got from the photographer (Marsh Fern) they came out beautiful.

I cannot say enough good things about Bridlewood Ranch. The staff is AMAZING, they were professional, comforting, and they were on their game. They were quick to communicate back and forth and were there for me at all times. The vendors recommended by Eleane and Hannah were spectacular it took so much stress of off my husband and I because Bridlewood did their research and only recommended the best. I’ll end with the venue itself is mind blowing the value of what you get is fantastic and my favorite part is they are always putting time back into their venue to make it better!!

When it came to the day of, Bridlewood staff made sure everything went perfect for us. This is a day we will never forget thanks to the quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous venue that is Bridlewood Ranch.
Our guests had countless positive remarks, from how special the ceremony space was to how our wedding at Bridlewood was one of if not the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We were positively beaming the entire day from how seamless everything went and are still talking about how great the day was several days later.
In terms of cost, Bridlewood was extremely flexible and let us pick and choose what we wanted. They gave us the option to take care of catering, flowers, and more - all of which helped us save a lot of money.
Thank you Bridlewood for making this the best wedding we could ever ask for!

We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding! From our appointment to view the venue to the day after our wedding, our experience was nothing short of amazing! Elaine and Hannah were both patient, kind and knowledgeable. They both made sure that the day of ran smoothly. I’m not kidding when I say that the day of our wedding was the least stressful day of all for me and that is all thanks to Elaine and Hannah!
The package we selected included their decor, the DJ and the bartender. They not only have a ton of beautiful decor to choose from but they also set it up for you. The venue itself feels almost magical with the winding path down to the lake with trees in each side and all the fairy lights
The DJ was very helpful in music selection and knew how to get people out in the dance floor! The bartenders did great with all the drinks and make sure that everything behind the bar went smoothly.
Bridlewood is a great team to work with and I am so glad that we chose them! I truly don’t think the day could not have gone any better. I highly recommend this venue!

Elaine, Hannah and team at Bridlewood Ranch were INCREDIBLE. First off, the venue is amazing and beautiful. The ceremony location by the lake under the oak trees is such a picturesque sight for our big day. The newly enclosed barn (w/ AC woohoo) for the reception was stunning. Hanging lights everywhere plenty of space for a small or bigger wedding and that rustic but classy feel. There’s games included for guests to play outside like personalized cornhole and giant jenga (which our guests took advantage of!). There’s PLENTY of parking and clear directions to get to the ceremony area. The team was with us every step of the way and everything was included in our package and it was a FANTASTIC deal. Every vendor partner was incredible and super easy and sweet to work with and really embraced our unique Halloween theme. The Bridlewood team provided sooo much decor that came with our package and it really helped bring everything to life. During the wedding weekend the team decorated our ceremony and reception sites so we didn’t have to and they broke down everything afterward, which we were super grateful for after a long weekend. Hannah was a wonderful wedding planner who we had frequent FaceTime calls with to see progress and ask any questions we had. On the day of, she was by our side for every single one of our needs. She was so kind and really cared about making sure our day was flawless (which it was!). There wasn’t a single thing that went wrong the day of because the Bridlewood team was on top of every single thing. Even things we didn’t even think about. For the care and attention and beauty of Bridlewood and its team for the absolutely INCREDIBLE price we paid, we couldn’t have gotten more lucky with this venue experience (I call it an experience because it was all so encompassing like a cinematic adventure). Run don’t walk to book this venue, it fills up fast for good reason! Thank you so so so much Elaine, Hannah and the rest of the Bridlewood team. We thank you for making our best day ever truly the the most incredible, amazing and spectacular day of our lives!

My wife and I got married at Bridlewood Ranch last month and had the perfect wedding experience with Bridlewood.
Everything was perfect from the location and natural beauty of the ceremony spot, to the unique and charming barn and bride and groom suites, to the exceptional staff who go above and beyond to ensure the entire wedding weekend goes perfectly as planned.
I’d highly recommend this venue and it’s amazing team to any other couples, and can speak to my wife and I knowing right away this was the perfect venue for our big day.

My husband and I could not speak any higher of this place, everything we wanted for our wedding day was perfectly planned and executed by Elaine, Hannah, the vendors and the entire event team at Bridlewood Ranch! We were looking for a venue that had space for us to have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same location, we had a rather large wedding guest list, so this was important for us and Bridlewood delivered! We had a "destination wedding" so a lot of our guests were traveling from out of state or from another part of Florida, which meant we needed busses and hotel accommodations which Hannah was able to help us with, and made what we thought was going to be a stressful part of planning super easy!
We highly recommend the Triple Crown package, which can be modified if needed. The vendors who are included in this package are amazing and so fun to work with! The only vendor we chose on our own was the cake, so we could add in more desserts.
Hannah was THE BEST wedding planner, she would answer calls, texts and emails in an extremely timely manner and when we had an idea she would run with it. We had a planner before her, who we cannot say the same for and man are we grateful things turned out the way they did because we never would have met Hannah!
Elaine and her husband were the sweetest people to work with and they were super supportive along the wedding planning journey. We cannot wait to celebrate our one year anniversary in the same spot!
Our guests have been raving about our wedding since the big day and it's been a few months. We have even heard it was the best one they have been to yet ;)

We highly recommend Bridlewood Ranch to ANYONE getting married. In March 2023, we had our wedding at Bridlewood Ranch. We had the best wedding and best experience with Bridlewood Ranch. Elaine the owner was amazing to work with. She and her husband are very involved in the process. It is amazing knowing that the owner cares so much about your big day and their venue. They are constantly updating and improving the venue to be even better than it already is. Hannah, the lead coordinator is the BEST. We cannot find any better words to describe her other than truly amazing. Hannah is with you every step of the way from the wedding planning process, to during your wedding, and to after the wedding. Any questions my husband, parents, or myself had she would answer very quickly or find the answer quickly. We were so blessed to have her as our coordinator for our wedding. We could not have had a better coordinator. She is punctual, caring, trustworthy, hardworking, and so much more. When choosing a venue everyone has specifics in mind that they would like to see in a venue. The specifics that we were looking for was a venue that was affordable, had a great team to support us, capable of holding 250 people, has A/C, and a southern style venue. We couldn't have found a more beautiful venue for one of the biggest day of our life. Bridlewood Ranch was the best decision that my husband and I made.

There are truly not enough words to describe the amazing experience we had at Bridlewood for our venue. Elaine, Hannah, and the whole Bridlewood team were above and beyond amazing. We had the threat of rain during a week of severe weather. The team was so flexible in arranging things so we could maximize our best chances of our original vision. The service they provide, beginning with the tour we took all the way to the final clean up moments, they have truly been nothing but the sweetest. We recommend Bridlewood to anyone who is looking for a team that can truly do it all. Aside from the weather, I had virtually no stress for anything Wedding Planning when it came to the items with Bridlewood. We whole heartedly enjoyed and loved the people we got to work with on our wedding, which made it very bittersweet to say goodbye at the end. We will always keep Bridlewood and their team as a special place in our hearts forever.

There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how amazing the wedding Colton & I had at Bridlewood Ranch. From the moment we toured the venue with Elaine until the day after the wedding when everything was packed and ready for our pickup was fabulous. Throughout the whole process we had zillions of questions that were answered quickly by Elaine or Hannah (our wedding coordinator) making the coordination of everything run smoothly. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was & how everything was just perfect. We totally agree! Don't even think twice about choosing Bridlewood for your special event, just book it!!!

Bridlewood Ranch couldn’t have been anymore PERFECT!!! They helped my now husband and I achieve our DREAM WEDDING and I can’t stop crying till this day with how perfect everything looked/went. My favorite part was that this venue is family run and you can feel the love for what they do once you walk into the venue! When we were venue shopping, this was the second place we checked out and literally made our decision halfway through the tour. They are such kind, caring and loving individuals. Elaine, Hannah, Dave etc; you all are such amazing people and should be so proud of the business you’ve started. All of my guests kept talking about how beautiful everything was, how organized and seamless everything felt and how delicious the food was! I seriously can’t thank you all enough for literally helping me create the best day of my entire life. 🤍 I see you all as family now!

My experience with Bridlewood Ranch was unforgettable. The venue itself is stunning, but there is something so special about seeing your decorations and ideas come to life and transform the space around you. I only had few ideas of what I wanted to see as far as decorations on my wedding day and my coordinator Hannah blew it out of the water. From our conversations and getting to know one another she found exactly what I was looking for and ran with it. In addition to the wonderful people, I worked with throughout the year to plan my special day, there is a lot to be said about the Bridlewood staff. They were efficient and tentative to every need I had. As the bride, if there were any hiccups on my wedding day, I am blissfully unaware due to their accommodations. Everyone treated me like family, Hannah was my guardian angel, shielding me from the stress of wedding planning. She took head on every dream and goal I had for my special day and made them a reality. Elaine was my encouragement throughout the day, reminding me to soak in every moment as it flew by. She held my dress as I made my way to the aisle, and you could see that she was just as joyful as the friends and family who had come all this way to celebrate. Dave, our DJ was a mastermind at getting our friends and family engaged and on the dance floor. Not only was his playlist perfectly tailored to who we are as a couple, but he had so many tactics that kept our group entertained and right on schedule. Mike our videographer from the venue was incredible, his shots are so innovative, and I am on the edge of my seat to see the final product. Mike was there from the very beginning of the day to the last song, and you cannot only see the commitment he has for what he does, but you can guarantee the quality of what Mike creates. Last but certainly not least Robert, the only photographer I could recommend moving forward, transcended anything I could have expected from a wedding photographer, which was already a fairly high expectation. This man is dedicated to his craft, he will be as adventurous as you are willing to be, and you can trust that the results will be nothing less than sensational. All in all, these people have wedding after wedding come through their venue every week and I don't know how they do it, but they made me feel like my wedding was the most important one. Through the planning, through the rehearsal through the entire celebration and even the follow-ups after, it felt like I was the only bride to get married at Bridlewood Ranch and that my new family had put everything together for me.

Naturally, our daughter’s wedding would be on the coldest weekend in January. Thank goodness, Alex & Caleb selected Bridlewood Ranch, a charming farmhouse wedding venue in Clermont, Florida with so many options and outdoor spaces. The owners, Elaine and James, are truly amazing and very attentive. They were able to pivot the day before to bring guests closer to the firepit by the barn for comfort’s sake following the lakeside ceremony. Hannah, their wedding coordinator, went above and beyond, from initial consult to scheduled appointments and all parts in between. She was a wizard the weekend of the wedding! The Ranch was updated from our initial visit, close to a year ago. Day of the wedding, the barn was beautiful and incredibly comfortable, the firepit area was inviting, the bride and groom cabins were well appointed, and the serving staff…simply outstanding! There was a continuous line for the photobooth, DJ Dave kept the party going, and Bartender Ashley was a delight. Can only say great things about the Bridlewood Team. Thank you all - for your effort, talent, time…and most of all for making Alex & Caleb’s wedding day a wonderful celebration!

Bridlewood Ranch brought our dream wedding to life! Not just one day, but the entire weekend. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and happily ever after brunch at the ranch in February 2022, and with every event this team went above and beyond.
If you’re looking for a rustic, homey, comfortable event venue where your guests will be immersed in the beauty of real Florida nature, THIS is it.
The lakeside ceremony location is incredible. The grand oak trees and sandy beach made for the perfect photo backdrop. The way the sunlight beamed through the woods was absolutely magical. Our guests were amazed that such a peaceful, quiet spot could be so close to Orlando. Our guests loved that the cocktail hour was just steps away, where they could still watch us taking bridal portraits under the trees.
As soon as we saw the reception barn, we knew this was the venue for us, as it already had the aesthetic we wanted. The farmhouse tables, mason jar chandeliers, and hanging window panes made for a charming and cozy space. One of the biggest benefits of booking at Bridlewood was that they had TONS of decor included in our package. Signs, seating charts, lanterns, table numbers, floral, and more were available for use. The fact that I didn’t have to buy 20 lanterns that I’d never use again was a lifesaver! Our 70 guests had plenty of room at their tables, on the dance floor, at the bar and buffet lines. The team set up our guest book table and wedding favors beautifully.
The location of Bridlewood Ranch could not be more perfect. Tucked away in the quiet hills of Clermont, it feels like a different world than the hustle and bustle of Orlando. It’s extremely close to hotels in Clermont, and a short drive from the theme park resort area and airport. Some of our guests stayed locally in Clermont, while others made a vacation out of the weekend and stayed at the theme parks. It really offered the best of both worlds for our guests!
Hands down, the best part of this experience was working with the Bridlewood team. From day one, Alyssa, Elaine, and their staff made us feel welcomed, excited, and at ease. They took the time to listen to our vision, while offering their recommendations and expertise. Being able to text Alyssa quick questions throughout the planning process made each step stress-free. During the wedding weekend, they kept everything on time and in line, with clear communication throughout.
Our package included the bartender and DJ, both of which were fantastic. The audio and music during the ceremony was perfect, and he kept the party going after dinner on the dance floor. The bartender listened to our vision for signature drinks and gave her recommendations. She even included a blueberry syrup in our signature mojito, made from blueberries grown right next to the barn! It’s those small details that set this venue apart.
My family was extremely impressed with the team’s professionalism and caring nature. You can tell this isn’t “just a job” to them, this is their livelihood!
We cannot recommend Bridlewood Ranch enough! Their team will create the wedding of your dreams with clear communication, stress-free planning, and creative options, all while keeping it affordable. After working with them for a year and a half, I can confidently say that we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you all for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

From the moment my husband (Eeeee!) and I arrived at Bridlewood Ranch to see if it could be our potential wedding venue, we were in love. The drive through the rolling hills gave us the perfect preview of the tranquility of the area. When Elaine took us on a tour, she immediately felt like family to us-so warm, so kind and also filled with suggestions and options for us to create the day of our dreams. We were smitten!
From that day forward, the staff at Bridlewood went above and beyond to customize the day just for us. Hannah, our day-of coordinator, was instrumental to our day. Planning a wedding is stressful but throughout it all Hannah’s calm, steady presence made the ride smooth. Her warmth made me feel seen and heard and her execution on the day was truly top-notch. She went above and beyond what the job required and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Also, it HAS to be mentioned that Bridlewood has the cutest selection of decor to rent! When we came to the Ranch for “Decor Day” we were overwhelmed by all the options. Every little detail adds up for weddings but being able to rent some of the essentials for our big day made life so much easier.
If this review sounds too good to be true, I get it. But all my husband and I kept saying after the day was through was: what a dream. The lights sweeping through the trees at night, the dock all lit up with the most gorgeous view of the water, personalized cornhole and a staff that made us feel truly taken care of. I will be looking for ways to go back to this magical place. Thank you Elaine, Hannah, David and the entire crew at Bridlewood. I’ll say it again- what a dream!

Hannah made the wedding of my dreams come true. It was so beautiful. She was patient and thoroughly answered all of my questions and made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it. I could not say enough how grateful I am for her. She made the day stress free and actually let me enjoy my own wedding which I know isn’t always possible. Elaine constantly is working to improve Bridlewood and every time I see it the venue looks even more beautiful. They give you recommended vendors that they trust and make sure the day goes as smoothly as possible. If you want a beautiful, stress free wedding have it here. I couldn’t have imagined a better day and truly appreciate everything they did for my husband and I.

Elaine and her staff are absolutely amazing. From the moment I pulled up to this venue for the first time i knew it was the one! You get the best of both worlds, a beautiful barn and a gorgeous lake front ceremony location. Throughout the entire process Elaine and her staff were so helpful and responsive to all my questions. Wedding day was amazing and i really didn't have anything to worry about because Elaine and her staff were taking care of all the little details. I would highly recommend this venue!

We wanted a relaxed venue that had a welcoming feel. When we got to Bridlewood Ranch, we instantly felt at home there. Elaine and her team were so generous with their time, showing us around the venue and talking to us about what they offer. The second we left the venue, we knew that was where we were going to get married.
We fell in love with the lakeside ceremony space and the wide open barn, but the venue offers so much more than that. Bridlewood Ranch puts their heart in to every wedding. They offer a wide selection of decor, have amazing vendors to select from, and openly communicated with us throughout the planning process.
Our wedding day was wonderful and we got so many complements on the venue. The credit for our amazing day goes to the Bridlewood team. I cannot say enough about this amazing location and team. If you're looking for an outdoor/indoor venue that is willing to go above and beyond for you, please look at Bridlewood Ranch!

I don't know how to put into words how grateful my husband and I are for Bridlewood Ranch. They went above and beyond working closely with us to give us the most beautiful wedding day! The skies opened up an hour before our ceremony, so we had to make a rain call. I wasn't the slightest disappointed. The barn was just as beautiful as our original ceremony location by the oak tree. You would never of been able to tell that moving indoors was unplanned. I am forever grateful to have this venue in my memory as well as the amazing staff and the friendship we have made along the way. We are truly blessed by everyone at the ranch and highly recommend them

Bridlewood Ranch exceeded my expectations in every way! Planning a Florida wedding from Boston was a bit stressful, but when I went home for a visit I found this beautiful ranch that wasn't far from where I grew up. I knew I wanted a romantic and natural feel for our wedding ceremony and reception, and Bridlewood delivered. I mean, once I learned there was a horse I could get a photo with on my wedding day it was a done deal :)
In all seriousness, we went with Bridlewood after meeting with Elaine and David. They were both so incredibly kind and made me and my husband feel so comfortable. You could tell they cared about their business and making couples happy. Elaine was so responsive and helpful at all stages of the process, and David was the absolute best DJ!
The package we selected was wonderful (catering, cake, photography, DJ, flowers, and more), and made planning so easy. It was also pretty incredible that we had the venue from Friday - Sunday, which made prepping and clean-up so easy. Our whimsical Beauty and the Beast wedding, with plenty of salsa dancing and fun, really was the best day ever. I cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make us feel special and taken care of on our big day. Can't wait to see our professional photos because the property alone is so beautiful.
Future brides and grooms - do not hesitate to visit and book Bridlewood Ranch as your wedding venue. It is truly magical!

Bridlewood was the perfect place to have our wedding - though we knew it would be from the moment we saw it.
Elaine and her entire team did an amazing job bringing my dream wedding to life. When I walked into our reception on our wedding day, I could have cried with how beautiful it looked - exactly how I pictured it in my head.
The staff was all amazing, the vendors that they include were great and took so much stress off my plate.
The venue itself is so beautiful and perfect for any size wedding.
I cannot thank Bridlewood enough for my wedding day and everything they did to make it a dream come true.

If you’re looking for THE place to have your wedding, this is it. We really can’t say enough great things about how well they took care of us and what a hit they made our wedding. And the amount of services and space and time and amenities you get for the price is just unbeatable. The ceremony space out by the lake and the barn for the reception and the landscaping and the cabin suites for the bride and groom were all just beautiful. Elaine, James, Dave, and everybody else who made our wedding possible are absolute superstars. The amount of work they put in not just on the wedding day, but over the course of the entire weekend, is just incredible. Elaine was great, easy to communicate with, prompt, and friendly, from the beginning of our first tour of the place all the way through to the very end when we packed up our stuff. They give you so much freedom with how you want to customize your wedding to suit what you want it to be. Elaine helped us pick out our decorations and put all of that together and was so helpful. Dave was the absolute perfect DJ for what we wanted, and you could tell he really cared about trying to figure out what vibe we wanted from him, and he nailed it 100%. And they all worked their butts off to set everything up for us and put in so much work, we truly can’t thank them enough for giving us the exact perfect wedding we’ve always wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Bridlewood Ranch was absolutely perfect for us. I was looking for a barn/rustic venue and I really wanted to get married in front of a beautiful oak tree and they were exactly what I was looking for from an aesthetic standpoint. The property is gorgeous, boasts a beautiful view of a lake, gorgeous photo locations and exceptional package options. Anyone planning a wedding knows budget is a big deal and Bridlewood has fantastically priced, totally customizable package options, which were perfect for my needs and budget. The service and staff were both great, and I have to give a special shout out to Elaine for being so awesome. They took great care of us all weekend, made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and also took great care of our parents. The groomsmen suite and bridal cottage were really cute, comfortable to get changed in, and had some really nice touches to personalize our experience. They have a great stock of decor available to use and I really loved the vendors they work with for their packages. I'll share more on a few of them below but our wedding went on without a hitch, we received so many compliments on the venue, and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding. HIGHLY recommend!
DJ: David from DNR was phenomenal. He was so easy and fun to work and really made it a priority to make sure that we were all on the same page with what we envisioned for music. David helped me keep the ceremony music a secret from my husband, did a great job with keeping the vibe going during the reception, gauging the crowd and even had a couple extra tricks to help get people up on the dance floor that I haven't seen before. David was both super friendly and very professional. His experience and flexibility made for a perfect flow during the reception and we truly had an absolute blast. I honestly can't recommend him enough.
Coordinator:Alyssa and Wild Weddings were PHENOMENAL! We had an amazing wedding and rehearsal dinner at Bridlewood Ranch and, with Alyssa as our day of coordinator, everything went so smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. Alyssa is organized, excellent at communicating, experienced, kind, flexible and good at wrangling our wedding party members to make sure everyone knew where they should be during the rehearsal. The venue was decorated gorgeously under her guidance and perfectly aligned with our style. I had a couple of quick changes during the wedding, like the small flowers on the cake, and they were addressed immediately and discreetly. There were also a couple of times that I needed help or needed Alyssa for something and she seemed to be so intuitive and just appeared instantly for whatever I needed. I would highly recommend Wild Weddings for anyone and cannot say enough how grateful I am for their service.
Photographer: Robert is AWESOME! He included engagement photos with our wedding package and was so flexible with date changes/cancelations we had to make since we were from out of town. He is amazing to work with, especially on the day of the wedding. Robert has a phenomenal attitude, is fun, creative, open to try out some ideas (the groomsmen had way too much fun running around in a blow up dinosaur costume before the ceremony and Rob was here for it) and takes gorgeous photos. We're really happy with his service, he was easy to communicate with and we feel that the value he provided for the cost of services was fantastic. We highly recommend and would definitely work with him again!

Bridlewood was everything we could have dreamed of and more. They have multiple packages for you to chose from and my husband and I picked their all inclusive price which includes: venue, ceremony site, access to their on site decorations, floral, cake, catering, DJ, tables, chairs, photographer, videographer, planner and on site rooms for getting ready in.
The entire venue is so cute and perfect for the style of wedding we wanted. This was our first and only tour while searching for our venue .The staff was amazing from start to finish and I couldn’t have imagined having our day anywhere else!

I had my wedding at Bridlewood Ranch on December 5th, 2020, and it was the best day of my life, and I would have to say Bridlewood was one of the main reasons. The venue was exactly what my husband and I wanted . . . family owned, casual yet still classy, rustic without being too western, flexible with the Guest list (which was convenient with the pandemic), and just all around wonderful.
We used their recommended vendors for Flowers, DJ, Wedding Coordinator, and Catering and it was great supporting such awesome family owned businesses. They even allowed me to bring in my own custom decor, which was really important to me. I had the ability to set the tables exactly how I wanted them, and they encouraged my ideas rather then suggest other options, which made the day even more special.

There are not enough good words that can be said about my experience at Bridlewood. From the day we toured the property, to the day of the wedding, everything was seamless and professional from beginning to end. We met with Elaine for a tour and she was an absolute delight. She answered every single question on my obsessively long list, and she did it with a smile. Alyssa, the wedding planner, was a positive and upbeat ray of sunshine from the moment we entered her office to meet her for the first time.
Planning a wedding is an exciting time, but we can all admit it’s a stressful one, too. Sprinkle a little COVID in the mix and you’ve got the perfect recipe for never-ending anxiety when it comes to planning your nuptials. Alyssa and Elaine worked tirelessly to ensure that I stayed calm, that CDC guidelines were upheld (without being overbearing in the slightest), and to provide my husband (!!!!) and I with the most beautiful day of our lives thus far. The property was STUNNING; not one single detail was overlooked and you could tell how much love and care went into each and every square inch of the venue. The list of vendors they provided all gave impeccable service, too. The DJ was incredible, and guests throughout the night were telling me, “that man knows how to get a wedding going!”
Seriously, brides. It would be a mistake to not take a tour and book here. I do not have a single complaint when it comes to my wedding day and the months leading up to it. Elaine and Alyssa made sure every moving part came together in a way I never would’ve be able to even imagine. They are a hardworking group and they are such genuine, lovely people.
For the best night of your lives, choose Bridlewood. I’m so, so glad I did 💖

Every girls dream is to have that magical wedding from every romance movie you've ever seen. I got married this past weekend, Jan 4th, 2020, and Bridlewood Ranch blew every expectation out of the water. The venue listened to my vision and pulled together that fairy tale wedding. Not only was the venue top notch, the staff was impeccable. All my guest are raving about Eric. He kept the bar flowing!! Elaine was amazing in making sure everything ran smoothly in connection with my wedding coordinator. My husband and I got home that night and were ready to plan a 2nd wedding with them just to relive it! I could not have asked for a better venue and staff!!

This venue is absolutely perfect! They have everything you'd want . A beautiful spacious bridal suite stocked with champagne and goodies. It over looks a private lake, also well hidden from the men. A groom saloon stocked with beer, snacks, fun games, and also a large porch for hanging out. The property itself is gorgeous! The barn was able to fit our crowd of 200 people comfortably and still had a big dance floor. THEY HAVE A/C!!! for a july wedding in fl, it was pretty awesome to be cold😆 Not to mention the incredible staff who literally take care of anything and everything. It was night beyond expectations and wouldn't change a thing! I'll be recommending this venue to anyone getting married. Thank you bridlewood ranch!!

Elaine is amazing! We met in November of 2017 and booked for January of 2019. The property is beautiful and her total price was better then most venues without anything included. As a parent of the bride I wish I had more children because I didn’t want it to end. We recently got the video and it was truly awesome! Michael was a great person and helped keep the bride in check. Thanks to everyone for everything that they did!
