Meet the family behind the Ranch
God-centered, family focused, serving you!

Hi, we’re Joel and Morgan Vannette. So glad you’re here!
Before we were venue owners, we were wedding photographers. Having seen many weddings up close, we have a taste of what it takes to make a day go smoothly.
The venue opened in 2017, and the ceremony barn has been standing since 1871. We live here on the property with our five kids. You’ll see us throughout your day, checking in and lending a hand.
And it really is a ranch. We raise cattle for beef, so you might find baby calves in the pasture in the fall. Guests can feed and pet the cattle right from the courtyard, and the cows have a way of getting into most photo galleries as well.
Our Wedding Policy
As Christians, we believe that the covenant of marriage was ordained by God at creation and is limited to the joining of one man with one woman (Gen. 1:27). Holding to these beliefs, Ridge View Ranch will only recognize and serve a wedding between a biological man and a biological woman. Thank you for respecting our faith!

“Wow, just wow! Just had my daughter’s wedding here July 11, 26. Morgan and Joel, the owners, were so easy to work with. Really go above and beyond to make sure everything is great. They both have wonderful ideas, offer some great insight if something is trying to go amiss. All around wonderful people and the location was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the wedding and reception, perfect size for what we needed. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any event.”

“10/10 experience! We just got married there last week and we had an amazing day. The venue has a day of coordinator, photography and decor room that you can add on for a fantastic price which is amazing and they were absolutely incredible. Communication with them has been such a breeze and they handle all the stress. The meetings before the weeding were great, they listened very intently and had great suggestions to things I wouldn’t have ever thought of. Morgan and Joel are wonderful people and I’m SO glad we used their venue and had such a great day.”

“This venue is beautiful and the owners are incredibly nice and easy to work with. They were very accommodating to our requests as well. They provide outdoor games which were a huge hit with our guests. The bar is outside, which in my opinion is perfect to go along with the outside games. I HIGHLY recommend this venue.”
