ABOUT US
We moved to the Spokane Area to give our children a better way of life and we wanted a business where we could all work together. I grew up in Idaho and graduated from the University of Idaho and became a teacher and later a school administrator. After my children were born, I used my training to run an educational consulting business so my hours could be a bit more flexible. When I drove up to Green Bluff a few years ago, I actually pulled off the road, not too far from where we live now, called my husband and told him that I found the place we needed to live. ​
​
Fast forward a few years and the kids are moving on to college so I am blessed to have a wonderful team to help with all of those details on wedding days..
​
With over 20 years of owning a small business, I am here from the time you book until you get sent off on your wedding day. I help find the perfect vendors, plan your timeline, and I help get all of those wedding details in order.
Whether your visit involves enjoying some apples or attending wedding, I have no doubt it will have the makings of a beautiful memory!

Originally from Fairbanks, AK, I have called Washington state home since the early 1990s. In real life, I am a full time nurse. I met my husband, the hospital IT geek, while we both worked at the same hospital in western Washington. My husband was born and raised in Spokane. We moved here in 2018 with our two children, Brennan and Sawyer, to be closer to his family. One of my favorite hobbies is my flower garden.
I got the amazing opportunity to start working weddings as Lodi's sidekick in 2023. Lodi has taught me a lot about all of the different pieces of a wedding day. I have learned that couples can enjoy their day so much more fully when all of the details are being attended to by a caring team of vendors. I truly enjoy bringing a couple's special day to life for them, seeing everyone experience all the little happy moments stress free, while we take care of all of the details for you. My favorite part of a wedding is right before the bride or groom walks down the aisle. It's a chance for everyone to take a deep breath, right before the couple's life is changed forever! It's a very pivotal time in the day when we get to see all of the hard work come together for you and your partner.
Thank you for entrusting The Ridge at Greenbluff with this special time in your life. I look forward to meeting you!​

Ever since I was three years old, I’ve been obsessed with weddings, while other kids were watching cartoons, I was glued to TLC’s A Wedding Story. From that point on, it was a done deal. I would “throw weddings” every single day, completely captivated by the beauty, the joy, and the magic of it all. Today, that same passion fuels me.
My absolute favorite moment of the wedding day is when the couple walk into their space for the first time and see everything come to life—it’s the calm before the celebration. Something I’ve learned along the way is that the magic doesn’t just happen—it’s built with hard work, deep intention, and a whole lot of elbow grease. When I’m working with a couple, I’m ALL in from the moment I wake up until my head hits the pillow. Whether it’s handing over my favorite lip liner, giving away my favorite perfume(true story), or jumping in wherever I’m needed, I’m there to make your unforgettable day run smoothly!

What brings me to weddings is the magic of design and intention. I’ve always been drawn to creating experiences that are both beautiful and meaningful — and there’s nothing more rewarding than helping bring someone’s vision to life on one of the most important days of their life. I love the process of taking an idea, a color palette, or a vibe and transforming it into something tangible that reflects who the couple truly is.
My favorite part of the wedding day is that quiet moment right before everything begins — when the chairs are set, the candles are lit, the music starts to hum — and all the planning turns into presence. It’s this sacred shift, and I feel so honored every time I get to witness it.
​
What I want couples to know about me is that I care deeply about their experience — not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire planning process. I’m here to listen, to support, and to help them create something that feels like them. I bring a calm energy, a strong eye for detail, and a genuine love for this work.

I developed a love of photography a few years ago and enjoy photo editing and web design. I especially love landscape photography and now have the most breathtaking views to photograph. My work has been featured in an on-line magazine as well as in some hometown newspapers. I have photographed several high school sports and have taken marketing photos for a few small businesses. I look forward to working with my family to create a wonderful and inspiring location for guests to enjoy and share with us. Please check my website at www.connerjphoto.com for more of my photos.

If I don't see you, I am at U of I completing my engineering degree!

I love living here and having more space. I especially love living here because I am able to have more animals. I am so excited to share this beautiful property with others and hope that I can help make their visit very special.
I might see you at an event but if I'm not there, I am studying away at WSU where I am studying Zoology in preparation for becoming a veterinarian.

This property gives me lots of places to explore and find wildlife. I have found lots of interesting birds and frogs on our property. I love decorating for special events and holidays and am excited to make your wedding or special event as beautiful as it can be.
​
I might see you at your wedding and am usually setting up, cleaning up, or driving the golf cart. I hope you enjoy the property!
