From the first moment we saw it, we knew that The Village at Boulder Ridge was the perfect wedding venue for us. We love the rustic aesthetic and the way that the multiple available spaces allowed us to create a flow for our evening.
Heather has added so many lovely details to the space, including the PERFECT chairs, a beautifully redone bridal suite, and gorgeous lighting. The brand new bar in the cozy fireplace lounge was such a nice touch and our guests liked having that separate space to take a break from the dancing and sign our guest book. There is also a dramatic staircase to walk down if you have your ceremony outside by the gazebo and it makes for STUNNING pictures.
Throughout the whole process, Heather listened to our vision and helped us make it a reality. She was flexible and accommodating and always willing to let us come tour the space again if we had a decor question or wanted to show someone else. She and her team worked together seamlessly the day of our event, making sure everything went smoothly. We don't live locally and didn't end up getting to taste the food ahead of time but everything was delicious and the bartenders made a mean cocktail!
We highly recommend working with them to have your wedding at the Village at Boulder Ridge!
We had the MOST PERFECT wedding at The Village at Boulder Ridge. We had to find a new venue at the last minute and we were so lucky that Boulder Ridge had a cancellation on our date. Nicole and Jess went out of their way for us in so many ways and worked so hard to meet our needs. We had some guests who were high risk for Covid and the staff made so many accommodations to make sure that everyone was safe and they did such a fantastic job! No one got sick even though we had 100 guests. They were VERY well organized and did everything just how we wanted. The food was AMAZING and they were so accommodating for our guests with allergies. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and it was such a positive atmosphere. All of our guests were talking about how beautiful everything was, how great the staff were, and how much they loved the food. The bartenders kept the energy up of the guests the entire night. The staff also went out of their way to accommodate our Bulgarian traditions. Everything went so smoothly and the staff were so flexible with us. We HIGHLY recommend The Village at Boulder Ridge for any event!!! They completely exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much for making our experience amazing.
This venue helped make our day extra special and tons of fun! It provided a rustic/classy setting to celebrate with our guests. The staff was very professional and easy to work with. They helped the planning and preparation go very smoothly.
We received numerous compliments on our wedding and this venue, with a number of people stating that it was easily the best wedding they had every been to! Liz and Nicole were extremely helpful, answering all of my questions quickly and accurately. During the wedding, Liz took care of everything, such that I just showed up and had a wonderful day! We had our wedding on a Sunday from 11:30am-5pm with 80-100 people. They allowed us to get ready in the Bridal Suite, which was very spacious with a private restroom, and to take pictures on the grounds before the ceremony. The ceremony was located at their beautiful gazebo, which has power available for music. Our reception followed in the pavilion with a BBQ lunch and ice cream sunday bar; we even had a small dance floor for our first dance. From 2-5pm, we opened up the swimming pool, climbing tower/zip-line, and lake with kayaks and water trampoline, which were all very reasonably priced and extremely fun. They were changing rooms available for the guests. In addition, we were able to bring in a petting zoo ourselves. All of the guests enjoyed these activities, and the staff made it fun and safe for everyone! They provided beautiful round tables with white linen and napkins colored to match our theme. In addition, if you are looking for a more traditional wedding (or a winter wedding), they have a beautiful and very large ballroom inside along with the "fireplace room", which would make for a great winter ceremony. Overall, I would highly recommend the Village at Boulder Ridge.
Absolutely beautiful! The interior aesthetic was everything I was looking for, especially the fireplace! Liz was great to work with and you can tell she's been doing this for a while and has her whole system perfected. And while we were a little too excited to eat much, multiple guests mentioned the food was excellent (apparently the cornbread stuffing in particular). I remember thanking Liz multiple times throughout the process, and she'd reply that it was her job, no problem, but she did so much, she really deserved the thanks! It was a fantastic day!
This site was wonderful for us! It was cheaper than all other venues we looked at, but had fabulous food, good options for both indoor or outdoor weddings, could be used just for the reception, or ceremony and reception, and the staff was very professional and helpful. Extra services like babysitting, or providing us bartenders for extra fees....were both reasonable prices, and great to combine with the cost of the venue. Overall a great experience that I would highly recommend!
We fell in love with The Village at Boulder Ridge because of its beautiful location and its unique, rustic decor. The building is gorgeous, spacious, and has a huge dance floor, which we loved. Our guests kept commenting all night about how beautiful the place is. It is also right near a reservoir and dam which was great for pictures. The staff there were very helpful and accommodating. They met with us several times during the planning process, and worked with us to develop a custom all-vegetarian menu even though it was different from what they normally do. The day of the wedding went very smoothly. The servers did such a great job with getting all of the courses out in a timely manner, and the food was delicious. On top of everything else, the venue was very reasonably priced compared to most others in the area. We were so happy with our wedding at the Village and would not have asked for anything to be done differently. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable, rustic wedding.
The Village was a beautiful venue with a very "at-home" feeling. We loved the versatility of having an indoor or outdoor ceremony, and luckily we had the perfect weather for an outdoor ceremony in front of the water and gazebo. The large dance floor and delicious variety of food helped make our day perfect, too!
This venue is different from most and that's why we liked it. It's huge and has a rustic feel , but its also cozy at the same time. The staff was amazing and the food was superb. The guests kept commenting on how awesome the venue was and how great the food was. The dance floor and bar are huge, and there's a nice lounging area with a masonry fireplace.
