About This Vendor

A Romantic Wedding in a Peaceful Setting

Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery is a venue located in Swisher, IA, providing a stunning location for your wedding reception and other events. This working vineyard offers a variety of stunning locations to host beautiful events, from intimate gatherings to more grand affairs. The chic Napa-inspired venue offers a plethora of indoor and outdoor locations to host your dream wedding. For generations, the Quint family has operated this farm, nestled in the heart of the Corn Belt. It was in 2005 that Jeff Quint founded Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery to carry on the legacy of this land. Host your upcoming celebration at this gorgeous vineyard, boasting sweeping views and a variety of indoor spaces that will make your wedding most special. Accommodating up to 200 guests, the Event Center features exposed beams and windows which can be opened up to a stunning terrace. This indoor/outdoor space is ideal for larger celebrations and can be easily decorated to suit your style. For functions of up to 60, you might take advantage of the Tasting Room. High ceilings and the large rustic bar define the space with an industrial style that's softened by floods of natural light. Looking out across the rows of vines, the Vineyard room, again featuring lofty ceilings, can seat up to 40 guests. Of course, you may want to take advantage of the beauty of the outdoors by hosting all or part of your festivities in the open air. Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery does more than provides ample space for a beautiful wedding. Their on-site catering is second to none, with fresh flavors that feature only the finest ingredients. The venue's talented chefs can whip up breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desserts to suit your taste buds. You and your guests may choose to imbibe their lovingly handcrafted cocktails with their Iowa Straight Bourbon Whiskey, in addition to their premium wines. The venue provides bar and serving staff and their team of professional event coordinators will be by your side to bring your vision to life.

We had the absolute best day! Cedar Ridge and their staff went above and beyond everything we could’ve ever asked for! From the decor (they helped our hired help) to the food to bar, everything was absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to continue ...

I literally do not have enough words to say how much I enjoyed getting married at Cedar Ridge. Literally everyone I encountered made me feel so special and like they really just wanted me to have an amazing day. Ashton (the event planner) was a...
lways available to answer any questions I might have had, and she truly thought of everything. PLUS they have the food and alcohol taken care of so with one decision you easily have three major items checked off your to-do list. And the best part? The food and wine are DELICIOUS. We had multiple people tell us afterward that the food they had was the best food they've ever had at a wedding before. It's honestly a no brainer to choose them for your wedding.

We ordered our wedding wine from Cedar Ridge. Our tasting with them was fun and informative - we ended up selecting three varieties. Everyone really liked the wine on the wedding day.

I could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding and reception. My husband and I choose to have a Sunday wedding to keep costs within our budget, therefore, the price was very reasonable to have our wedding at such a memorable locat...
ion. The setting is absolutely beautiful outside and inside, so it did not require much decorating at all! I received many wonderful comments from guests on how it was such a lovely venue and the food was delicious. The pizza and apps buffet was a hit! Having the venue provide there own catering made the process so much easier. I cannot thank Ashton enough for her help throughout the entire process, from communicating via email about concerns and opinions to helping on the wedding day with anything we may need. My husband and I will definitely be returning for wine and pizza to reminisce on our special day.

We could not have been happier with our choice of Cedar Ridge Winery for our reception venue! Ashton was very responsive to emails, and was able to answer all questions or find out the answers for us. Cedar Ridge provides their own catering, an...
d looking back, it made the entire process SO much simpler (especially for a couple planning from out-of-town). Not only was the food delicious, but there was no need to ensure a third party caterer could be accommodated in their kitchen. The event space is a separate building from the main tasting room, and it has beautiful bay doors that can be opened. For our wedding, these were perfect to open once it cooled down, and it allowed a wonderful breeze and for guests to easily flow in and out. Our wedding was approximately 130 people, and it felt like a good size for this amount (though it can hold a max of 200). The day was beautiful, and guests loved the beautiful sunset over the vines. I would recommend the space in a heartbeat!

ensure I had everything I needed to prepare for the day. She was always easy to get a hold of if we had any questions or concerns and made sure our day was perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous. We got married November 18th, 2017 and although it was cold, the vineyards still looked amazing. We utilized both buildings and it was perfect for our 165+ guests. The food was so delicious, everyone loved the parmesan au gratin potatoes but everything on the menu is a winner. So happy the law passed allowing cedar ridge to serve their own whisky, rum, etc. in addition to their amazing wine, there was something for everyone!
