Absolutely beautiful venue with an amazing staff! From the moment we toured to the end of our wedding night, everything was wonderful. The venue itself is stunning and made the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Jennica was especially incredible to work with.

She made the planning process feel so much easier and was always there to help when we needed anything. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was and how smoothly the day went. We are so grateful we chose this venue and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a gorgeous wedding venue with an incredible team behind it!

I would highly recommend having your wedding at Walnut Ridge! Aside from the obvious of how beautiful the venue is, Jennica is so helpful and lovely to work with! Her communication has been amazing from the very first email I sent her. She has been so helpful with giving me names of vendors and answering all of my questions. Just walking into this venue you can tell how much thought was put into all of the details, and they have worked so hard making it the perfect place for couples to have their wedding. If you’re thinking about booking your wedding at Walnut Ridge, do it!
