While we ended up having to cancel our wedding at Thunder Ridge due to us moving out of state, the experience we had with Scott and Shellie was fantastic. We knew from the initial tour that this was the right venue for us because of how down-to-earth, kind and accommodating they were through every step of the process. It is so apparent that this is not just a business for them- they genuinely care about you and the success of your event. Not only is the venue gorgeous and very affordable compared to others in the area, we also know that they would have gone above and beyond to make our wedding amazing. Truly cannot say enough good things- from all of the venues we toured, we felt so confident that there were none we would trust as much as them with the most important day of our lives! Though they have not been in the wedding business as long as some, their attention to detail stands out as some of the best in the industry, and they have quickly become well-versed in all things wedding and events, evidenced by the many great vendor recommendations and suggestions about the details of our day. We all know how daunting wedding planning can be, but they made it so much less stressful. All in all, you cannot go wrong booking with Thunder Ridge, anyone who works with Scott and Shellie is in such great hands! Reviewed on 05-09-2023

Violet Metz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 Where to begin! Just when we were losing hope on finding the right venue for us, I said \"let's try just one more\". It was mere seconds after getting in the car after meeting Shellie and Scott and touring the venue that we said \"this is it!\". The grounds are beautiful and Shellie and Scott were so helpful, accommodating, kind, and patient throughout the the whole process. We had a small DIY wedding and they made us feel like family. Having both an indoor and outdoor option in the PNW is a huge bonus! The inside is spacious with stunning bridal and groom suites and a vanity area made the getting ready process super convenient. Thank you Thunder Ridge for hosting the most special day of our lives and for all you did through the process. We appreciate it so much and will be recommending this venue to any friends getting married! Reviewed on 13-02-2023

Thunder Ridge was the perfect venue to host our client and partner appreciation party for our real estate team last summer! The grounds were absolutely stunning for our outdoor celebration and the owners were very professional and helpful throughout the whole process, starting with the initial coordination and scheduling as well as the day-of assistance. They were very accommodating for our requests and we will definitely host our event here again this year! Some of our favorite aspects of this venue included the spacious patio, bar that could be placed inside or outside, as well as the various layout options for tables and chairs which were all included in the venue cost! We highly recommend this venue! Reviewed on 30-01-2023
