Gentlemen! We didn't forget about you!​​​​​​​​​The Coop is the perfect space for the guys to.... Well, if we are being honest... sit around and wait. ​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​But we promise that wait will be worth it!
With a mini bar stocked to your preference, a TV to stream whatever game is on that day, darts, a garage style door that opens to a private patio and yard games, a dressing room, not to mention the perfect photo opp.
What else could a guy want while waiting?😉​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The Coop is just another way for us to show you that we truly want the BEST for you and your day, and that means taking care of the guys as well. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Happy first anniversary to Bridgett & Alex today! 🎉​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It was so fun to be a part of this sweet couple's fun day full of so many thoughtful details! We loved how they provided their guests with bubbles, fiber optic light-up wands, and disposable cameras to make sure the fun didn't stop all night long.

Cheers to one year down and forever to go for The Gregorys!

Cheers to 1 year of marriage for The Garstangs today! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This wedding day was just as FUN as it was absolutely stunning! We loved the pearl details, delicate floral bud vases gracing the tables, beautiful boho arrangements on the arbor, and Rheygan's gorgeous gown.

But the best part? This sweet couple made time for so many special first looks and moments with their loved ones throughout the day. Rheygan & Will exuded joy and love for each other all day long and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it 💕

Oh, and our new favorite thing? Sparkler send-offs at DUSK 🎇 Swipe to see the beautiful blue hues in the sky!

Here's to many more years of happiness together, you two!

Considering a sparkler exit on your wedding day? Whether you choose to do a faux exit just for the photos or a true exit at the very end of the night, you're going to want to read the tips below!​​​​​​​​​ ⤵️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​✨ Have a designated person in charge of sparklers on the day of. From passing them out to guests, lighting, to the clean up!

✨ Place your sparklers in fire-safe buckets (a bucket that won't burn). You can use something as simple as a tall galvanized bucket so they're cute while they're on display, but you also have a place for guests to put them once you've done your send-off. Don't forget to have someone ANNOUNCE to your guests to place burnt out sparklers in the buckets and NOT on the ground when they are done!

✨ Bring a torch lighter (or two!) - NOT a candle lighter. Torch lighters hold up much better to wind and light more quickly in general.

✨ Hand out ALL of the sparklers BEFORE lighting!
Pro tip: you only need to light 2-3 sparklers - you can have all of your guests light off of one another. This sends the flame down the line much quicker so you can get to the actual send-off!

✨ Want more photos? Get longer sparklers! The longer the sparkler, the longer the burn time, which means more chances to run through, dip, spin, and kiss amongst the sparklers while your photographer captures all the magic!

Happy first anniversary to The Stagners! 🎉​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We absolutely loved this beautiful summer day filled with bright colors, beautiful florals, the sweetest bride and groom, and their crew who was ready to party all night long!

From first looks to sparkler send off, Kyleigh & Devan laughed with each other and their loved ones and radiated pure JOY all day long. We especially loved all of their sweet personal touches and Kyleigh's epic surprise dance with her father during the reception!

Kyleigh had this to say about working with our team: "Our wedding at Cooper's Ridge was amazing! The venue was clean, easy to access and close to lodging, BEAUTIFUL, and well organized. The staff was fantastic too. We are truly happy that we chose Cooper's to have our wedding!"

It was such a pleasure to be a part of this day ✨ Cheers to forever together, you two!

Today we wish the happiest birthday to BRANDI 🎉​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our fearless leader, the owner of our beautiful venue, the one who does WHATEVER is needed behind the scenes or on the front line (including scooping dead fish out of the pond 🥴🤢)

Cooper’s Ridge wouldn’t be what it is and the team wouldn’t be who we are today without the many things Brandi does for all of us, the venue, and our community. She is truly one-of-a-kind, has a heart of gold, and is so full of kindness.

THANK YOU for all you do for Cooper’s Ridge and for everyone you meet. Cheers, birthday girl 🥂

What is the difference between an venue coordinator (US) and an event coordinator (NOT US)?

We would love to tell you! And share our reasons for why BOTH roles are very important!

Check out our latest blog!

When planning an event, no matter what the event may be, understanding the two crucial roles often involved are the event coordinator and the venue coordinator.

This photo needed to have its own moment. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We are OBSESSED!! 😍🤩

When Grace and Daniel mentioned a photo moment using biodegradable confetti... it was a YES for us!
The moment itself was magical and we could hardly wait to see the photos!

Once we recover from the beauty of this, we will share more from the Scherers special day!
