FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How long do we get to use the Venue?

You will have full use of the facility for 15 hours on the day of your event (from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m.) All guests must be off the premises by 12 a.m., therefore the bar will close no later than 11 p.m. and the bride and groom exit must be no later than 11:30 p.m.

Q: How many guests can Canyonwood Ridge hold?

Canyonwood Ridge was designed for 300 guests maximum. Our Reception Hall can comfortably seat 300 guests while still allowing space for a band, dance floor, buffet, and cake table. This also allows the Chapel to be designated as a “Plan B” for up to 300 capacity. If the ceremony is held outdoors, the Chapel can be utilized as “flex space” for additional guest seating, cocktail hour, photo booths, buffet, lounge area, poker tables, etc. Our Venue can hold weddings up to 400 by using the Chapel as a seating area for the reception. If you have an invite list over 350, please contact us and we can advise you of options.

Q: Does Canyonwood Ridge provide any tables and chairs for the Venue?

We provide 300 Chiavari Chairs for the ceremony and an additional 300 Chiavari Chairs for the reception. We also provide 40 60-inch rounds, 20 8-foot rectangular tables, 10 cocktail tables, and 2 6-foot rectangular tables.

Q: Do you provide set-up and break-down of tables and chairs?

We provide break-down of chairs and tables along with clean-up at the end of the event. If you utilize one of our preferred caterers, they will set up tables and chairs at NO CHARGE, and they can provide linen rentals.

Q: Who manages the music during the ceremony?

Canyonwood Ridge is NOT responsible for coordination of music. Our Venue is equipped with outlets at the outdoor ceremony site to power DJ speakers, and the Chapel has built-in speakers where music can be played and managed by your DJ or day-of-coordinator.

Q: When can I have my rehearsal?

One hour for rehearsal is included in the contract, and can be scheduled 45 days prior to your event date (pending availability and scheduled around other booked events.) If there is a wedding the day before your event, you can choose to hold your rehearsal either (1) the day of your wedding or (2) off-site the day before your wedding. Rehearsal dinners at the venue require a full-day rental.

Q: Can I Use My Own Caterer/Florist/Decorator?

Yes, however we highly encourage you to use our preferred vendors, as they have worked at Canyonwood Ridge many times and consistently provide a great experience. The catering company you select MUST have their Department of Health Certificate and be insured. Any vendor doing decorating also must be insured.

Q: Can my vendors deliver items the day before/pick up items the next day?

All personal items, rentals, and vendor items must be delivered and loaded out on the day of your event. If there is not an event scheduled the day before/after your event, you may have the option to have your items delivered/picked up at a different time but this must be approved in writing by Canyonwood Ridge during your final walk-through 30-45 days before your event.

Q: Do you require a day-of-coordinator?

No, but Canyonwood Ridge strongly encourages you to hire a “day-of-coordinator”, or have someone who is extremely organized and familiar with weddings to help with logistics on the day of your wedding. Our staff provides 6-week coordination services for a fee and they have vast planning experience to address a range of issues, and most importantly, are very familiar with the Venue in order to optimize your set-up and decorating design.
