From the reviews
My daughter's wedding was on July 13th. We took a leap of faith when they got engaged in December, and booked Thunder Ridge Ranch sight unseen. The entire experience was wonderful. Deborah was available for consult from the minute we booked. We went up there many times once weather permitted for planning.
My husband and I will ALWAYS reflect on our wedding day at Thunder Ridge Ranch with fond memories. Everyone warns you that no matter what, things will go wrong on your wedding day. Ours was no exception. And even still, Deborah and her team made our day as amazing as possible.
Thunder Ridge was a beautiful setting for our wedding. We have wonderful memories and thank you for opening this venue on your property to us.
I reached out to Deb back in March, my now husband and I were in hopes of finding the perfect venue. She responded back to me promptly and went into great detail about the venue, provided pictures, and was already discussing a time for us to schedule a visit.
Getting married at Thunder Ridge Ranch Forest Venue
Thunder Ridge Ranch Forest Venue 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.
