When planning our wedding, finding the perfect venue was one of our top priorities. We wanted a place that was beautiful, spacious, and could accommodate all of our guests comfortably. From the moment we walked in, we knew that Copper Creek Ridge was the place where we wanted to exchange our vows. From the beautiful outdoor ceremony site to the stunning indoor reception area, everything was absolutely perfect. And the bride and groom's rooms are a plus! We also loved the location being right down the road from the Riverside Casino. But it wasn't just the aesthetics that impressed us - the staff were also incredibly helpful and accommodating. They were friendly, professional, and always went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was comfortable and happy. Overall, I would highly recommend Copper Creek Ridge to anyone looking for a stunning and memorable wedding venue. The combination of the space and exceptional service truly made for an unforgettable experience.
