about us

The Story of Timber Rivers

After 20 plus years in the wedding industry, Stacey decided to take a leap of faith and pursue her own venue. With her family and close friends in tow, we watched as her dreams unfolded before our eyes as the perfect river property became available, and her building was put up timber by timber. We watched, planned and prepared in those first months, and we prayed that God would allow us to serve in the best ways possible in this small little mountain town. 

Now we look back on those first few months, and see how we could never imagine the blessings that were waiting for us. Each bride, every family, the planning, the preparation, the (few)bad days, the (many) really good days, all the laughs, the love, the grace, the father/ daughter dances, the first sweet moments as husband and wife, flower girls dancing in the rain, Mommas crying as their sweet baby boys turn into husbands (yes Mommas we (Stacey) have been there (July 10th, 2021))- every memory, they are our greatest blessings, and what makes Timber Rivers, our passion.

the soul of timber rivers

The girls of Timber Rivers pour their heart and soul into the venue and Timber Rivers wouldn't be what it is without them.
These are the smiling faces you'll see when you celebrate with us.
We can't wait to meet you!
