✨Deer Ridge Details: Monthly Wedding Tip!

It's your wedding. There are no rules.

Here's why:
Wedding traditions can be meaningful, but that doesn't mean every tradition has to be part of your celebration. Your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple, not simply what everyone expects.
A few things to remember:

💍 Ceremony
Want to walk down the aisle together? Have a private ceremony? Skip the traditional wedding party? It's your choice!

📸 First Look
See each other before the ceremony, save the moment for the aisle or get ready together.

🍽️ Dinner
A formal plated meal, a casual buffet or your favorite comfort foods. Choose what you love!

🎶 Reception
Skip the bouquet toss, change up the first dances or start the party before dinner.

🍰 Dessert
Wedding cake, donuts, cookies or something completely unexpected. There's no wrong answer!

The most memorable weddings aren't necessarily the ones that follow every tradition. They're the ones that feel authentic to the people celebrating.

Keep the traditions you love, make a few of your own…and let go of the rest.

The groom deserves his moment, too.

A perfectly tailored suit, a boutonnière with a little personality and a chance to show off his style.

Weddings may fill much of our calendar…but they aren’t the only events that fill Deer Ridge.

Dinner. Fundraising. Awards. Auctions. Games and drawings that get the whole room involved. Every event looks a little different, and the flexibility of Deer Ridge gives you the freedom to create a memorable event of your own.

Planning something of your own? We’d love to hear what you have in mind.

A wedding day is made up of so many meaningful moments.

The dress waiting to be put on.
The anticipation as you get ready.
The portraits you will keep forever.
Finally wearing those rings.
And the cake…before there is nothing left but crumbs.

Some are planned for months, and others happen in an instant. Together, they tell the story of your day.

🍁 As summer fades and crisp autumn days arrive, the Lodge and hotel suites transform with nature inspired décor, warm tones, and touches of fall.

While the Lodge is an important part of the Deer Ridge wedding experience, our doors are open for much more than just weddings. Overnight accommodations are available year-round for visiting family or guests in town on business.

Depending on the size of your group, choose from:

• Two Hotel-style Suites: private and comfortable for individual overnight stays.
• Half-lodge Rental: a little more room with access to shared gathering spaces.
• Full-lodge Rental: four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen and plenty of room to gather around the stone fireplace.

From a simple overnight stay to a weekend together with family and friends, there is a space at Deer Ridge to make yourself at home.
