The Main Barn
Fully restored to its original charm and character, the 1860s Main Barn is the heart of The Ridge at Ironstone and the setting for your wedding reception. Accommodating up to 180 guests, the climate-controlled barn offers comfort in every season, while its expansive doors can open to the evening sky and sweeping views of the apple orchard, creating an unforgettable indoor-outdoor experience.
Just below the Main Barn, the Brick Stables provide a versatile cocktail hour space, with the flexibility to gather indoors or take the celebration outside – an increasingly popular way to enjoy the natural beauty of the ranch. Throughout your day, you’ll experience the unmistakable charm of The Ridge’s resident longhorns, horses, and JR the pig, adding a memorable, down-home touch with plenty of photo opportunities for your wedding experience.
The Mini Barn is available should the weather become inclement.
The Mini Barn
The Open-Air Mini Barn is charming and bright, a cozy option for couples seeking an authentic wedding or reception venue with warm ambience and an open floorplan. It can be configured to fit your wishes and layouts include benches or chairs. It also serves as a secondary or back-up location on your special day. It is only a short walk to the Orchard and the Main Barn, if the weather becomes inclement.
The Farmhouse
History meets modern charm in the beautifully restored 1860s Farmhouse, which serves as the ideal location for your bridal party to prepare and dress for the day. Complete with a brick fireplace, its authentic well, the capacity to sleep 8, and the newest feature “The Salon” for brides, this country home blends comfort, convenience, as well as quaint settings.
The Orchard
In the Orchard, nature supplies the greatest beauty. Lush green boughs wave gently in the wind. In season apple blossoms sprinkle across your wedding aisle. It is a picturesque and storybook setting for your ceremony, and because mature apple trees change and evolve over the course of the seasons, your wedding will truly look like one of a kind. If inclement weather should occur, you may relocate to the Mini Barn at no extra expense.

150 people
Yes! Our private estate is 280+ acres, with each venue having private exclusivity. We have intentionally planned our logistics to ensure each wedding is secluded and individually maintained.
To secure the venue, you must sign a contract and provide a 50% deposit of the venue rental. We can break the initial deposit down into 2 payments of 25% at signing, 25% two months later. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding.
We have two preferred caterers: Food for Thought Catering and C&J Catering, that we have selected carefully, knowing that you will have success and rave reviews over their service and execution. These are the only two caterers that can use our full commercial-grade kitchen. We want everyone to have a 5-star experience. If you choose to use a vendor that is not on our preferred list, they are welcome; however, they will be subject to a fee and have access to a prep kitchen only.
Onsite! We have seven different Airbnb’s available for you, your party or your guests! Staying onsite for one night or the weekend, creates a memorable experience that goes beyond the wedding day.
Your venue rental starts at 10:00am, however, if you require earlier access to the bridal suite, your request can be accommodated with an 8:00am check in. A minimal extra fee will be assessed.
We allow your dog/dogs to be present for photos, ceremony and cocktail hour, with a professional handler. From there, we ask that the dog is taken back to a safe place where they can feel at peace and relax. When the party gets going, the dogs are the first ones to feel anxious and run. We do not allow any animals inside our venues at anytime.
Your caterer is required to stay until the end of your event, cleaning up all trash, food and barware. Our team will take care of tables and chairs. If you have décor, it is your responsibility to remove all personal items after the end of your event. This is where our Day of Coordination services are really great!
Of course! We welcome you and your bridal party to use the space before and after your ceremony.
