    The second we drove up - we were sold. It was (and still is!) the most well-cared for venue that we had seen. We love the intimacy of it and how perfect the layout is. Having a day of coordinator and the all-inclusive options were incredibly important to us as we did not want to work on our wedding day, nor did we want our family to have to do anything. After meeting Chris, we knew our wedding would be in good hands. He is so personable, passionate about providing an excellent experience, and always strives for perfection – definitely all things you want in someone in charge of your wedding! Both Chris and Bethany were incredible email communicators and oh so patient with all of my questions. They are constantly working to improve and made several updates over the time we waited for our wedding date to come. We loved all the updates they made to the venue – including the beautiful brand-new bridal suite. We received access to a planning portal that contained very detailed planning forms which we worked on little by little. This was incredibly helpful in organizing all of the details and the itinerary for the day. We ended up choosing one of their preferred caterers (Excellent BBQ was incredible!). Chris and Bethany made sure to connect with all of our vendors the week prior to the wedding to confirm that they would all be there. We were a little nervous about not booking our own DJ, but the DJ (Chris!) the night of was fantastic and knew exactly how to mix our preferred songs and how to alternate between Spanish and English so that our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. We loved how the speakers were located throughout the entire venue, so guests were able to hear music in every area. We did not have to worry about microphones or speakers for the ceremony as this was included as well with their sound system. The outside bar was a hit, as was the photobooth. Also absolutely LOVED that they had linens/tableware/china available for rent and we could use their supply of in-house decorations. Highly recommend upgrading to have them set up your decorations so that all you have to worry about is getting ready. Also recommend having Spec’s in Bastrop deliver the alcohol/mixers/ice so you don’t have to worry about bringing it. While I was taking my time enjoying getting ready, my fiancé was in his groom’s suite watching an Austin FC soccer game with family and friends. We really were able to just enjoy the day, worry-free. We all love to party, so we weren’t sure how we’d do with a 6pm-11pm wedding time. But honestly it was the absolute perfect amount of time. Family and friends were there till the end to watch us head out with our sparkler send off. We ended up loving the Smithville location and have really enjoyed getting to know such a pretty town and nearby Bastrop. Everyone has commented on how smoothly the wedding ran and how incredibly well organized everything was. We are so grateful for all the hard-working staff that made it possible. Chris, Bethany, Yeslin, Mikayla, Cece, Anna, Alyson, and Cody – thank you for making our wedding dreams reality! We loved the experience so much, we are trying to figure out how we can throw another celebration at Red Ridge (maybe our 5-year anniversary party!). We are also hoping some of our family and friends get married here so we can return as guests. ; ) Can’t say it enough – book Red Ridge Receptions if you want a beautiful, perfect, intimate, and unforgettable wedding!

    Our COVID wedding experience was a doozy! Hence the VERY delayed reviews. Better late than never! Our original date was set for 10/10/2020, very popular while we looked in 2019. The first amazing sign was when they emailed us that a couple from out of state were coming to visit for our same date, so they suggested we visit them earlier (we live in Austin). At the tour, we loved the oversized cottage feel with the beautiful outdoor ceremony site. Gorgeous woodsy hill background for us to be married at, a spot to have our first dance outside as the sun set, bridal suite in the main building and groom's den down the driveway, and dining and dancing indoors with the porch bar and deck available throughout the night. They provided DJ services, bar services staffing the venue, including making it as hands off as possible for us throughout the event, a photo booth, cake cutting, and valet parking. And even better, all of this was very much affordable compared to everything else we saw (somewhere between 20 and 30 venues). We paid in full and received a small discount, plus the non-alcoholic drinks (water, lemonade, and tea). They also mentioned making updates and improvements each summer, so we looked forward to what they would come up with. They even asked for our input. When we realized we needed to reschedule due to COVID, we informed them a couple of months in advance and they worked with us on securing a date in 2021. The unfortunate caveat was that it couldn't be another Saturday. Given the situation, I understand how that would be difficult for them to end up booking 2 Saturdays for anyone who rescheduled and only having one fulfilled. We settled on Sunday, 10/17/21 for the big celebration and got officially married on the original date as planned with immediate family. They were very supportive and no additional fees or any issues came up. When we finally got to have our party, it was worth every penny and the long wait! While we decorated ourselves mostly, they assisted with some things, prepped the bar area, helped unpack (and later repack) our vehicles, coordinated all of our vendors (beforehand and day of), and ultimately made sure we had to handle very little. They ran the schedule and worked to address any hiccups that came up so we could enjoy getting ready and waiting for our vow renewal. It was seamless! The music was amazing, our sunset first dance was perfectly timed, we got amazing photos, and spent a fantastic night with friends, family, and amazing food! They made it so enjoyable, I couldn't believe when it was over. You want to be here! With these people! They know how hard and stressful a wedding can be, and they do everything they can to alleviate it. We were so fortunate to find them! Our wedding planning experience had definitely been a challenge, but Red Ridge made all that melt away. They're amazing.
