A Spectacular Rustic Boho Wedding


When you think of a rustic wedding, you no doubt think of sprawling fields and beautiful wooden décor. Rustic weddings have been booming for years now in popularity, yet the theme does not get tired and each wedding I see manages to be more and more unique. This was certainly true of Katy and Dennis' wedding. For such a lovely and laidback couple, along with a super fun wedding party, there was no doubt this venue was made for them. Ridgeview Ranch has all that you want and dream of, and more.


This ceremony had a breathtaking backdrop, there was tons of space for their photos, and they even got ready in the house - this truly was a "one stop shop". Not only did it save us time since we didn't have to travel for photos, the venue gave an impeccable flow to the photos and overall theme of the wedding. The horses were even available for a photoshoot, and they posed just like I wanted. Such good listeners! This interesting and complex setting lent to extraordinary photos, with almost any landscape you can imagine that can be found within their venue. Frankly, it is everything I could ask for in a venue, and I think you'll agree.

All the Frills


One of the amazing benefits to using Ridgeview Ranch for your wedding or event is the variety of spots you can use on their property. The property is 21 acres, tucked away on the Grandview Flats plateau found between Vernon and Armstrong, BC. Within it you will find grassy meadows, pine forests, barn buildings and rolling hills, as well as ridgelines and open valleys - all which photograph beautifully. Stemming from the beauty, this setting provides an ambience that cannot be compared. Picture a first dance underneath the stars, or an extraordinary backdrop for your vows. The outdoor setting gives you a laidback and personal feel, but you can truly achieve any look you could imagine here.


For this particular wedding, we used the ceremony area overlooking the valley, the Pagoda area for the guests to mingle and enjoy some drinks, and the open fields for photos. The bride got ready in the house, and was only steps away from everything she needed. No stressful car rides and travel time during your big day equals a truly relaxed and refreshing experience, believe me! Later in the evening, there was a wine and cheese dinner hosted by David Beaudoin that was set in the reception area. The day flowed beautifully, and all the elements came together just as planned.

As the bride and groom, you need to enjoy your day without worrying about the little things - they will be the key to making that happen!

Despite the many spots on the property, sometimes it's just not enough! If you do want other photo options, Otter Lake is nearby, which features beautiful weeping willows.
