Awarded Best of Zola
From day 1, the staff at Boulder Ridge was wonderful. The venue was beautiful, but it was nothing compared to how easy the staff made the planning process. Our reception was in March, and the wind caused us to move the bar indoors. I greatly appreciated the flexibility and how the last minute change did not affect the evening. I highly recommend utilizing the approved vendors, we went with another Photo Booth vendor and we’re greatly disappointed. I was amazed how affordable t e evening was and I highly recommend Boulder Ridge!
