On-Site Ceremony
Joy Ridge can host just your dinner and reception, or your ceremony and social hour as well! There are indoor or outdoor options for ceremonies, if the weather cooperates.
Rehearsal Dinner / Gift Opening
If you would like to rent space the day before for a rehearsal/rehearsal dinner, we will work with you to offer a discounted rental rate, depending on availability. You may also rent space on Sunday afternoon for a gift opening or second reception at a reduced rate. We do book weddings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so this option is based on availability.
Bridal Suite/Ready Room
We have a newly remodeled “Bridal Suite” or “Ready Room” for the bride and bridesmaids – or the couple – to get ready, take pictures, and prepare for the day. The Ready Room has a lockable, private bathroom.
Decorations
You may bring your own decorations and centerpieces, or for a small rental fee you may browse and choose from our decoration “Inspiration Room.” Decorating services are also available. Our event staff can work their magic to decorate the space with your decorations or ours, creating the look and ambiance of your wedding dreams. Decorating services must be hired in advance, based on availability.
Photo Booth
Capture those magic memories and get them printed out on the spot! Frames can be personalized with your names and wedding date. Each snap session produces 2 strips of prints; one keepsake for your guests, and one for your guest book! Photo booth comes with a box of props and an attendant to help things run smoothly. Option to purchase a memory/guest book through us with gel pens and table set up for guests to insert their photos with a message/signature.
Linens & Table Settings
Linens (tablecloths and napkins) may be available through your caterer, or may be rented through us.
Dining Options
We have a prep-kitchen ready for your caterer. You may choose any catering company you’d like. We’ll work with them to make sure everything is in place for your event. Food trucks are also welcome.
Options for Serving Alcohol and Beverages
Joy Ridge has its own liquor license; all alcohol consumed on the premises must be served through our bar. Bartenders are generally included in the price of your wedding rental, If you have a specific request for beer or wine or a signature drink, we are happy to work with you in advance to order that in. There are a few ways you can go about serving or “hosting” alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for your wedding or event.
