Creekside Ridge Wooden Arbor

Our Creekside Ridge ceremony site is located on the main grounds only a minute and a half’s trek from the barn’s exit. It’s basically in the middle of our landscaped five-acres. Imagine gliding across a beautiful bridge while the sounds of the creek and a little pond waterfall soothe you. Your guests will never forget your walk down the aisle! The unique architecture of this arbor lends itself to western style and woodland themed weddings alike.

Permanent log benches seat up to 50 guests here, but my recommended maximum guest count for our venue is 30.  This allows me to give a higher level of attention to you and your wedding guests and provide a slower, more thoughtful pace.  The long bridge leading to this site is a favorite location for photographers to capture a large family group photo.

A Ling’s Moment garland with white and green flowers is in the top center of the wooden arbor in spring through fall, or a pine bough garland in the winter months.

This ceremony site is most popular in early April through mid-May. Dogwoods bloom first somewhere between April 1st and the 20th. The large, purple rhododendron bushes bloom next for a few weeks in early May. Lilies bloom in June, followed by pink wind flowers in August and September. There are always pots of annual flowers in the center of the arbor from spring to fall. White goosenecks bloom near the willow tree bridge in June, followed by native asters in September.

The ridge immediately behind the arbor turns golden in color in the fall. While challenging to predict, the best chance for peak fall color is the third and fourth week of October, and sometimes even the first week or two in November. We locals call it the “leaf lottery” because of the unpredictable weather and temperature variations prior to the color change.
