From start to finish, property tour to the wedding weekend, we knew Serenity Ridge was special. Having accommodations and catering onsite provided us the opportunity to be present for our wedding weekend. The Serenity Ridge team was effortless to work with and their hospitality above and beyond. The setting was gorgeous, sunsets, mountains, thoughtful guest areas. Guests could not stop taking pictures and raving about the trails and the cozy cabins. The Hilltop House was ideal for hosting the smaller meals, along with hair and makeup before the wedding. The pavilion and built in bar worked perfectly for our cocktail hour and reception. We did put the vinyl sides down, but they did not impede the beautiful views in any way. There was plenty of room for a big dance floor. Every space we used was sparkling clean and free of clutter. Our weekend included a mostly Gluten-Free menu, and the Serenity Ridge team knocked it out of the park. Our guests were thrilled with the options but also the quality. Delicious – every single bite. No exaggeration. An all-Gluten Free cocktail hour, dessert bar and wedding cake did not disappoint anyone who wasn’t Gluten Free. I would not hesitate to recommend them and am already trying to come up with another family event so we can go back!

Where to begin!? My husband and I got married on May 17,2025. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect and seamless throughout the whole weekend! Lesley and her entire team were so amazing from the very start. From checking in and making sure we had everything we need to being there for us if we needed something during our stay. The vineyard has so much to offer for a wedding from the beautiful cottages, different areas to relax, the magical ceremony space, and spectacular pavilion! Every part of the vineyard brings a small touch of magic that brings a wedding to life! The food was also amazing and we received multiple comments from our guests about how much they loved it. The Vineyard at High Holly exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful we chose this as our wedding venue and cannot wait to come back in the future now that this venue holds a very special place in our heart forever. - The Meaut & Mattison Family
