From the reviews
We are so happy we chose Walnut Ridge for our wedding venue. The inside is absolutely stunning & the outside spaces are great for your ceremony, mingling, pictures, etc. Jennica and her team are wonderful to work with! The communication was great and they were super helpful.
We chose Walnut Ridge for our wedding reception. Jennica was great to work with and very patient with us. The venue is beautiful and offers multiple options for your ceremony. We loved the bridal suite and groom's room for getting ready, they thought of everything! Would highly recommend!
As a wedding florist, I highly recommend having your wedding at Walnut Ridge. The venue itself is stunning. Plenty of space for all that you might need, but what I want to draw your attention to when booking venues, is the owners. Jennica and Brandon are seriously so fabulous to work with.
Beautiful venue and a great place for a wedding. This was my first time DJing at Walnut Ridge and I was impressed with the ceremony space, overall layout, power availability, and how smoothly the day ran. The property is gorgeous and creates an excellent backdrop for both ceremonies and receptions.
Getting married at Walnut Ridge Venue
Walnut Ridge 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.
