During a typical event season at Spruce Mountain Ranch we get the privilege of working side-by-side with hundreds of talented wedding and event industry professionals. Our relationship with these vendors is what makes Spruce Mountain the award-winning venue that it is. On a typical spring event day at the ranch, it is like watching a ballet of the world’s best dancers performing with ease and grace for one common goal; bringing people together and celebrating. Clearly, COVID-19 has made this impossible for us at this time.
Music sets the tone for any event. Your wedding is no different. We want to make sure that you have all the information you need to get your guests on the dance floor, so we reached out to our friend Rob from FUNction Pro DJ to give you all the information you need to rock your wedding.

One of the biggest items on any wedding budget is the catering cost. At Spruce Mountain we give our couples the ability to choose from a variety of different caterers. This allows each couple an option to pick a caterer that meets their needs, as well as their budget. We asked each of our caterers to give us information about their catering company, and their cost for buffet and plated options at Spruce Mountain, which we have listed below (in no particular order). We hope this information gives you the details you need to select the best caterer for your wedding.
Over the past weekend, I attended Wine & Nosh at Spruce Mountain Ranch. Wine & Nosh is an annual bridal show hosted by Sarah Viera Events, and Spruce Mountain Ranch. Sarah founded Wine & Nosh in 2012. Sarah started Wine & Nosh when she saw a need for a more couture bridal show where couples were not bombarded by tons of vendors. For this reason, every vendor at Wine & Nosh is hand-selected. This was the first year I attended the bridal show, so I had no idea what to expect. Let me tell you - the bridal show was nothing short of spectacular.
