Our micro wedding at Red Ridge was fantastic!!!
•Verified review
•Jimena M.•Jun 26, 2024
Our experience in Red Ridge was amazing!! We had a micro wedding with about 30 guests. Chris and Bethany and their staff are very professional :) we felt very comfortable since day 1, they made sure every single detail was taken care of. They were extremely flexible with many of our changes, they have great ideas and suggestions, we knew they have a lot of experience with weddings since our first conversation. They made sure the WHOLE wedding planning process was smooth and the least stressful possible for us. We HIGHLY recommend Red Ridge for your wedding or any other event. The day of our wedding there was a high possibility of rain, but the staff was ready with a plan B. The place is beautiful, everything was sooo elegant and the staff is great! :)

Getting married at Red Ridge was the easiest and best decision I made for our wedding! I was sold as soon as I had a tour and reviewed the multiple package options. The whole staff is so accommodating and pays close attention to detail. I was able to structure out the entire wedding ceremony and reception months before the Big Day. Then, on my wedding day, they were flexible and met my every need. All of my guests have told me how much fun and how beautiful everything was. I highly recommend Red Ridge!

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!
