✨ FAQ: Can we choose our own wedding vendors?

Answer: Absolutely!

At Deer Ridge, we believe every couple should have the freedom to choose the professionals who best fit their style, personality and vision. That’s why we have an open vendor policy.

1️⃣ Your Wedding. Your Team.
Whether you’ve already found your dream photographer, have a favorite caterer or know exactly which DJ you want, you’re welcome to bring the professionals you love.

2️⃣ Think Beyond the Traditional
A live wedding painter? Dance instructors? A food truck serving late-night snacks? We love seeing couples introduce something unexpected! Your vendor team can be as traditional or creative as you envision.

3️⃣ Recommendations When You Need Them
Not sure where to start? Our exclusive Client Resource Page includes recommendations for wedding professionals we’ve worked with, giving you a helpful starting point without limiting your choices.

The right vendor team can make all the difference, and we want you to feel confident in the people you choose.

The celebration doesn’t have to wait until wedding day.

Gathering the evening before is a great opportunity to share a meal, spend more time with your favorite people…and enjoy the excitement of the big day.

For rehearsal dinners, the Pavilion at Deer Ridge offers a beautiful setting, with an inviting atmosphere and plenty of room to make the evening your own.

One space. So many possibilities.

With a neutral palette and an abundance of natural light, Deer Ridge offers a beautiful canvas for every couple to make their own.

From elaborate floral arrangements to the simplest of centerpieces, we love seeing how each couple brings their own style to the space.

And the best part? There’s no right or wrong way to make it beautiful.

✨Deer Ridge Details: Monthly Wedding Tip!

It's your wedding. There are no rules.

Here's why:
Wedding traditions can be meaningful, but that doesn't mean every tradition has to be part of your celebration. Your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple, not simply what everyone expects.
A few things to remember:

💍 Ceremony
Want to walk down the aisle together? Have a private ceremony? Skip the traditional wedding party? It's your choice!

📸 First Look
See each other before the ceremony, save the moment for the aisle or get ready together.

🍽️ Dinner
A formal plated meal, a casual buffet or your favorite comfort foods. Choose what you love!

🎶 Reception
Skip the bouquet toss, change up the first dances or start the party before dinner.

🍰 Dessert
Wedding cake, donuts, cookies or something completely unexpected. There's no wrong answer!

The most memorable weddings aren't necessarily the ones that follow every tradition. They're the ones that feel authentic to the people celebrating.

Keep the traditions you love, make a few of your own…and let go of the rest.

The groom deserves his moment, too.

A perfectly tailored suit, a boutonnière with a little personality and a chance to show off his style.
