Elkhorn Ridge Resort

Elkhorn Ridge Resort offers event spaces on the historic Frawley Ranch near Spearfish, South Dakota. Its venue options include the Courtyard Barns, the Elkhorn Ridge Event Center and several outdoor ceremony locations, with the Black Hills landscape providing a scenic setting for celebrations.

The Courtyard Barns suit weddings and family reunions, with outdoor ceremony and reception space for gatherings of up to 400 people. Couples booking this venue can also use a farmhouse as a place for the bridal party to get ready. The barns are seasonal, generally available from June to early October. For events in other seasons, the Event Center is open year-round and accommodates up to 200 guests. It has indoor tables and chairs, indoor toilets and an outdoor ceremony area, while its simple interior gives organisers room to shape the setting to their event.

Outdoor ceremony spaces are available at the Event Center and Courtyard Barns, as well as at Miller Creek Landing by the golf course. Elkhorn Ridge also offers a micro-wedding package for up to 50 guests, with options that include a meal, photography, decorations, a DJ, an officiant, a cake and day-of coordination.

An event coordinator can help organisers with arrangements. Guests can stay in the resort's furnished cabins or at the historic Draper Roadhouse, and resort facilities include a seasonal pool and hot tubs. The setting and accommodation options make the property suitable for wedding weekends and gatherings where guests would like to stay on site.
