Mae’s Ridge is a mid century modern farmhouse venue located in the Wedding Capital of Texas, Dripping Springs. Joell and Rick, the owners, dreamt of the venue in 2019, while originally searching for land to open an airstream hotel. After seeing the incredible 360 hill country views, they knew they needed to build a wedding venue instead. The couple also loves entertaining, so it was a perfect fit! Mae’s Ridge hosted its first wedding in November 2019, right before Covid. They had only 5 weddings prior to the big shut down

Quick Facts
Aside from the breathtaking views, Mae’s Ridge has several other inclusions and amenities for couples to enjoy. There are two getting ready suites on site. One is separate from the main reception hall, and contains a pool table, shuffleboard, vintage arcade games and a TV. The other suite is right off the reception hall and is perfect for hair and makeup teams to set up and glam the wedding party! There is also an additional wedding party/vendor room, that can be used as additional space for the wedding party, or for vendors to utilize.

Advice from the owners
Leave it all up to the professionals! Hiring a professional vendor team is always going to pay off. A couple and their families should not be setting up and breaking down their own wedding. Sit back, let loose, and have fun!
