Awarded Best of Zola
We can't say enough good things about Serenity Ridge! Right from our first visit when they told us to bring our dog along for the tour, we knew this place was special. Who does that?! But that's exactly the kind of thoughtful, genuine people they are. As two brides planning our wedding, we honestly weren't sure what to expect at some venues, but they were all incredible from day one. Not only were they completely welcoming and excited for us, but they went out of their way to accomodate literally everything we asked for. The on-site details to the meals were perfect - they let us customize all the menus, even down to adding a custom salsa bar!! Every time we had a "crazy" idea or special request, they were like "absolutely, let's make it happen!" Never once did we feel like we were being difficult or asking for too much. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and honestly, so much of that was because of this amazing team. If you want people who will actually care about your day as much as you do, book this place. You won't regret it! Thank you for making our day so special - we're still smiling about it!
