Mountain Views & 26 Private Acres
Central Virginia
Service area
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Some moments deserve more than just a venue. They deserve a setting that feels meaningful the second you arrive. At Mountain Ridge Venue, you'll celebrate surrounded by scenic mountain views, rolling hills, and peaceful countryside on 26 private acres just outside Lynchburg, VA. There's room for your guests to gather, connect, and enjoy the day without feeling rushed or crowded.
Exchange vows outdoors as the sun sets over the ridgeline, then move inside to our climate-controlled ballroom for dinner, toasts, and dancing with up to 200 guests. Covered and indoor spaces give you peace of mind in any season, and tables and chairs are included.
Your day starts here, too. The Kendrick Cottage, our on-site lodging, gives the bride and her party a private place to stay the night before and get ready together. Our newly renovated bridal suite and groom's lounge keep everyone comfortable and close to the action. From the rehearsal dinner to the last dance, Mountain Ridge Venue lets you create a wedding weekend that feels welcoming, unhurried, and entirely your own.

There are not enough words for how truly breathtaking this venue is, they have recently upgraded the outside with beautiful benches, and the inside you have to see for yourself.
They are very thorough, especially with all of the last minute cha...
nges as well as requests I had. I am a perfectionist who strives on detail orientation, and they went above what I asked for every minor and major detail I asked for.
The decor is all done to your specifications, with numerous options to truly make your day one of a kind including the flowers, my bouquet was absolutely beautiful.
Last the part I know everyone is waiting on, the food. My husband, my guests, and me could not have been happier. I had so many comments about the texture and flavor of the meat, as well as the sides. I had a very broad group of people, so for everyone to like it says a lot, and many went back for seconds.
Overall, I give MRV a 5/5 stars because they truly care about what they do, and making their clients day very special. Thank you!

ve for your wedding. My husband and I got married in September and it was absolutely beautiful with the late summer vibes. From the first time we visited their venue to when we made our exit at our wedding, they were there every step of the way, helping relieve the stress that comes with wedding planning.

Mountain Ridge venue is the place to go!!! I got married 2 weeks ago and it was the wedding of my dreams! Karen and her team are amazing. I was very picky with certain things (sorry guys!) but they all took it so gracefully and made sure everyt...
hing was exactly how I wanted it. India, the wedding coordinator was wonderful. She made sure we stayed within our timeline but was also very flexible if we desired more time for certain things. She was so helpful during rehearsal and the day of that my stress levels were very low. The DJ was the bomb!! He made sure to get everyone involved and truly was the party starter. Everyone had a blast The food was to die for!!! The caterer (ButtsUpBBQ) absolutely out done themselves on our food. I have guests still talking about our food to this day. The cake was absolutely beautiful and I even received a call about a week before the wedding asking about specific details regarding the cake to make sure it was just what I wanted. The Florist is just as amazing. My flowers were absolutely beautiful! I wanted my bouquet to be a little more full on wedding day so she took the time before leaving the venue to tweak my bouquet. Karen, the owner was always checking in and making sure I liked the way things were and if there was anything she could help me with. If I didn’t like certain things she didn’t hesitate to fix it. She truly is the best. I can’t express how thankful I am for everyone at Mountain Ridge Venue for making my day a dream come true. Don’t think- just book this venue! :)
