Antler Ridge Weddings, Montrose, Colorado

Wedding Ideas Fall, 2024


Antler Ridge Weddings near Grand Junction, CO is a family business, and we feel like the brides and grooms of the weddings we host become a part of our wedding venue family!  It is such an honor to be chosen to host a wedding, and it all starts with a wedding tour! 


The wedding tour is when you as a wedding couple get to step foot in the barn, on the ranch, in the bridal suite and see if it is what you envision for your wedding day.  The drive from your home, the drive from the ranch and everything in between help to make your decision on if wherever you are touring checks the boxes for your wedding day. 


We have been a part of countless wedding tours and have a good idea on what brides should ask of any wedding venue they look into.  Read on and add these questions to your wedding organizer notebook and your wedding coordinator list and start your hunt for your dream wedding venue!
