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.

The Renwick was the quickest and easiest choice my husband and I made for our wedding. We knew it was a beautiful place and we’d been interested in getting married there since long before we were even engaged but we didn’t know how helpful, warm and accommodating the owners, Sarah and Dane, would be. From the day we toured to our wedding and after, they’ve been amazing. They offer tons of helpful amenities plus different packages/price-points. We went with one of the higher priced packages and it was still totally reasonable. The package we chose allowed us to focus on the things we were excited about like decor while not having to worry about the things we were not excited about like set up and tear down. They also offer pretty much any option you could possibly want as far as bar service goes and you can bring in whatever catering you want! I could ramble on forever - I don’t know why people have events anywhere else!
