When Kendyl started planning her wedding at The Range Wedding & Event Venue, she knew exactly how she wanted it to feel—simple, classic, and timeless—the kind of day that would still feel true when she looked back on it years from now. She nailed it.

Gage and Kendyl are high school sweethearts who are now in their senior year of college together. Their story has a history that you could feel throughout the day. It was an early fall day that held steady, a venue that kept the focus where it mattered, and intentional details that felt elegant and grounded. You’ll want to stick around for the surprise appearance at the reception!

The Range couldn’t have been a more perfect match for Kendyl’s vision. Clean, modern, and natural, it has this calm, effortless vibe that lets everything else shine—which is exactly what she wanted. Nothing would look dated in five years—just a solid, beautiful space that allowed her and Gage to take the lead. The wide-open layout gave everyone room to breathe, and the soft natural light through the big windows made everything feel warm. The weather helped, too.

The Range Wedding & Event Venue is built to hold up to 300 guests, perfect for larger celebrations like Kendyl and Gage’s. The bride and groom suites are on-site (and spacious), making it easy for everyone to get ready. Their ceremony and reception occurred in the main hall, with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace that added a beautiful visual centerpiece. And with 25 acres of surrounding land, you have plenty of room to wander—whether you’re sneaking off for golden hour portraits or need a quiet moment away from the crowd.

Timeless Styling Details

Kendyl’s dress was the definition of simple elegance. She wore a spaghetti-strap gown with a cowl back that felt like it was made just for this day. Her hair was in a sleek, slicked-back bun that framed her face perfectly and stayed put through tears, hugs, and a whole lot of dancing. It gave her an effortlessly polished look.

The black-and-white palette was classic, sharp, and never going out of style. The bridal party looked incredible—everyone was cohesive but still totally themselves. The decor followed suit: clean, understated, and intentional—this type of styling always photographs beautifully.

Their Range Wedding Ceremony & Reception

There’s something special about a wedding when the couple’s grown up together. They’ve already survived the awkward phases, late-night phone calls, shared dreams, and the not-so-glamorous parts of growing up—and still chose each other.

Kendyl did a first look with her dad that had everyone teary-eyed, including me. There’s something so tender about a dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time. Later, Kendyl and Gage shared a first touch around the corner of the venue, holding out until the big reveal on the aisle. When that moment came, Gage lost it. As Kendyl walked down the aisle, everything he’d been holding in poured out.

Once the ceremony wrapped up and everyone had a chance to reapply mascara, the vibe shifted. The dance floor did not disappoint. And just when everyone thought it couldn’t get any better, Pistol Pete made a surprise appearance. Of course, many proud OSU fans lost their minds. It was such a fun, unexpected twist.
