From the reviews
We experienced a beautiful small wedding with our family. They really do give you a blank canvas with a beautiful setting to work with. Reasonably priced and flexible with me. I can't say enough great things. Love this place.
Country Ridge Cottage was a wonderful venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was quick to respond, accommodating to our requests, and genuinely kind throughout the entire planning process.
We had such a lovely time at the cottage party! The setting was absolutely beautiful — cozy yet spacious, with the kind of charm you only get in a place surrounded by nature. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with soft music, great conversations, and the perfect mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun.
I just had my wedding there on 9/4. Started raining and my anticipation was to have it outdoors since it’s so beautiful out there. Mother Nature had a different plan. We shifted everything inside and the cottage provided us so much diversity! It’s a beautiful place and Mickey was so great in helping.
Getting married at Country Ridge Cottage
Country Ridge Cottage comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
