We had our wedding here and opted for the weekend package. Everyone was so helpful and communicated well to make sure everything was set for our day. Becky made sure all details were mapped out for the day so we didn’t have to worry about set up. Laura and Mark were so easy going. I was excited to work with them and the venue from our first visit. The property is beautiful and the venue was everything we wanted!

The venue is beautiful! If all you are looking for is the look, Deer Ridge has it! Now let's get real. Our wedding was 2 weeks ago. I've thought for a bit on how and what I wanted to say for a review. Well here it is. We've had this venue booked since fall of 2019. The morning of our wedding we arrive to an empty venue. Not a single soul working for the venue. Mind you its 10:40 AM. No problem. We start bringing in our stuff and setting things up. One of the Bridemaid's turns on a steamer in the bridal suite. It sets off fire alarm. Now we have a fire alarm going off, No staff. 10 minutes pass, hmmmm, fire alarm still going off, NO STAFF! I call Becky. Thank God for Becky! Becky talks me though not disarming the alarm but shutting the screaming part of it off over the phone. Solid! Golden! We are good to go! We notice the wrong number of tables and chairs are out. No worries. We locate them and set them up. Now I'm a pretty organized, planning ahead kind of person that asks a million questions in advance. I may have mixed up a few verbal agreements over the last 2.5 years but, I'm pretty on it. While setting up Mark the owner starts coming in and out of the building about 12:30. I could have swear when i signed contract we were told kegs would be tapped when had access to the venue for the bridal party. I may be wrong but I'm just ready to wipe my hands at this point. We'll I've paid $2700.00 for drinks. I politely bring it up to Mark.... he point blank laughs in my face and pretty much tells me I'm ignorant after telling me he's verified with Laura and Becky, both, that no one there would ever say that.. Rude, to put it kindly. Yet again wipe my hands. Now we have provided the fixings for a signature drink. We created the mixture ratios and pass it on to the bar tender that is serving it. ( we paid to have 2 bars operating and only had 1). Now 1 bottle to 1 jug is pretty simple. somehow we are missing 2 bottles of a hard to find liquor that we provided, and our ratios of jugs to bottles is off after the wedding. Yet again, wiping hands. If there is a problem or something that needs to be discussed, do not bother any guest or really anyone else other than the 2 people that the contract is signed with. Especially during my reception. Now, we have paid for the venue and bar tenders there until 11. I get it, I look tired because I am. I'm ready for bed, But guess what, I've paid several thousands of dollars for this place. Don't do last call at 9:30 and push my guest out at 10 pm. 2700$ in drinks for 200 guest for not even 5 hours. Wipe, wipe wipe.... Now on to the suites. Dirty. Heaven forbid you drop an earing back and see under the couches.... bathroom floors and shower drains have hair all over. Bridal suite shower has all kinds of issues. The first person to use is it floods the bridal suite. I'm talking water flowing like a river out from under tub. Not a huge deal but, all the dead landscaping at the grand entrance is pretty shabby. Now, to some positive. The place is beautiful, the beds are comfortable and Becky is their saving grace.
