The Vision |
River Ridge Barn's purpose is to offer an opportunity for others to bask in the beauty of God's creations of mountains, river, fields, trees, and flowers while celebrating their special occasion. The barn could be the perfect place for a wedding and reception, birthday party, reunion, family or business gathering, church function, school groups, and so much more. River Ridge Barn will offer enough space for up to 200 people, be equipped with restrooms, a kitchen and serving area, a bridal chamber, presentation screen and projector, fire pit, tables, and chairs, and will offer many photo ops with breathtaking scenery.
