The team at Emerald Ridge Farm are phenomenal. I truly don’t even have the words to express how amazing Janice, Mason, and Malorie are. They all went above and beyond to make sure that everything about our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect.

★★★★★ — Anna, Dec 2021

I cannot tell you how happy we were to get married at emerald ridge farms. We got married here Sept 20, 2025. We did a weekend package, and had only toured this one venue in person, and never looked at other venues since we loved it immediately.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Nov 2025

Emerald Ridge and its wonderful staff ensured our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Every single space on this property is beautiful and the built in contingency spaces in the case of rain eased any concerns we had wbout our special day. I really can't say enough about this venue and it's staff.

★★★★★ — Sara, Jul 2023

I cannot say enough great things about Emerald Ridge farm! They were beyond helpful in planning our reception, very responsive and the entire staff is amazing. The venue is on a gorgeous farm with amazing Mountain View’s and a wonderful barn to hold the reception.

Getting married at Emerald Ridge Farm & Event Center

Emerald Ridge Farm & Event Center 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.
