River & Roots Ranch is a 246-acre working ranch and wedding venue nestled along 1.2 miles of the St. Marys River in Bryceville, North Florida. We are a family-owned property, and when we say that, we mean it. This land is where we live, where we farm, and where we are building something we hope will outlast us.
The centerpiece of the property is a custom cypress log home built in 2008: 4,114 square feet of interior living space with soaring cathedral ceilings, two stone fireplaces, heart pine floors throughout, and 3,913 square feet of covered wrap-around porches that look out over sweeping pastures and old-growth forest. It is the kind of place that feels immediately familiar, like somewhere you have always wanted to be.
When you book River & Roots Ranch, you have the entire property to yourselves, all 246 acres, the lodge, the grounds, the river, and the silence that comes with being truly away from it all. Your ceremony can take place on the natural ceremony lawn backed by ancient trees. Your reception can spill across the porches, the pastures, or down to the river. There is no cookie-cutter layout here. The land shapes the day.
We include tables, chairs, and linens for up to 150 guests in every package. You bring your vision and your vendors, or let us connect you with our preferred team of North Florida photographers, florists, caterers, and more who know this property and love shooting here.
River & Roots is not just a venue. It is a place where your people can exhale, settle in, and actually be present for one of the most important days of your lives.
We would love to have you out to walk the land and see if it feels like home.
River and Roots Ranch is a wedding venue located in Bryceville, FL.

- Savannah and Abraham SargentPresident of OperationsHi, we are Savannah and Abraham Sargent and we are so glad you found us. We got married this past May, and somewhere between the vows and the dancing, we made a decision that changed everything. We were going to stop dreaming about a different kind of life and actually build it. River & Roots Ranch is that life. Savannah leads the day-to-day heart of the ranch as Chief of Operations. She oversees the wedding venue, manages our growing team of preferred vendors, and is the person who will walk you through the property, answer every question, and make sure your wedding day feels as effortless as it looks. She also runs our working sustainable farm, tending the land, growing food with intention, and building the kind of regenerative operation we are proud to call home. If you have ever wanted your wedding flowers grown on the same land where you say your vows, you are in the right place. Abraham runs the hunting and men's retreat side of the ranch guided experiences built around the land, the river, and the kind of stillness that is genuinely hard to find anymore. He knows this property the way most people know their own backyard, and he brings that same depth and care to every experience he leads. Together we are building River & Roots as a place where people come to reconnect with each other, with the land, and with what actually matters. We got married wanting that for ourselves, and now we want it for you too. We cannot wait to meet you. — Savannah & Abraham Sargent
- Jennifer and Benjamin WrightFoundersRiver & Roots Ranch would not exist without Jen and Ben Wright. Jen and Ben are the founders and the dreamers behind everything you see here. They were the ones who drove down a dirt road in Bryceville, Florida, stood on 246 acres of North Florida ranch land along the St. Marys River, and said: this is it. This is what we have been looking for. Their vision was never small. They saw a wedding venue in the cypress log home. They saw a hunting retreat in the forest. They saw a regenerative farm in the pastures and a women's wellness sanctuary in the quiet. They saw a place where families could gather, couples could celebrate, and anyone who walked through the gate could feel the weight of everyday life lift off their shoulders the moment they arrived. Jen and Ben did not just buy a piece of land. They bought a mission, to create a place where people could come back to what matters. To nature. To each other. To rest that actually restores you. That vision is the foundation of everything River & Roots is and everything it is becoming. They brought in Savannah and Abraham Sargent to run the ranch day to day, and together the four of them are building something that none of them could have built alone. But at the very beginning of the story, before the weddings and the farm and the retreats, there was Jen and Ben standing in a field saying yes to something extraordinary. We are deeply grateful for their vision, their belief, and their willingness to bet on a dream this big.

We had the most incredible experience at River and Roots Ranch. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat tucked away from everything, yet still so accessible. Wh...
at made it truly special was being able to stay on site for the entire wedding weekend. Having our family and wedding party all together in one place created such a meaningful, unhurried atmosphere that you just can’t get with a traditional venue.
The property itself is absolutely beautiful wide open spaces, natural scenery, and the kind of setting that makes every moment feel intentional and memorable. Whether it was slow mornings with coffee, time spent laughing and getting ready together, or celebrating under the stars, everything felt so personal and relaxed.
If you’re looking for a venue that offers more than just a few hours on your wedding day, something that allows you to fully soak in the experience with the people you love, this is it. River and Roots Ranch truly felt like a home for the weekend, and we’ll cherish those memories forever.
